Course Overview
The first step in creating any PCB is to document your design intent with a visual representation of the circuit functionality.
This course will teach you industry best practices and how to use OrCAD Capture to complete a schematic. Each lesson in this course is comprised of a:
- Video presentation to teach you about OrCAD Capture and the included schematic functionality
- Interactive presentation for in-depth, self-paced learning
- Video demonstration showing you how to implement these new skills
- Interactive demonstration for hands-on experience and practice creating a schematic in OrCAD Capture
Throughout this course you will learn how to:
- Configure preferences for schematic entry
- Create parts and schematic symbols
- Access a library of parts
- Place parts
- Establish connectivity through wiring, buses, and net aliases
- Navigate the schematic
- Prepare the schematic for PCB layout
Creating a schematic, or visual representation of the circuit, that is clear and easy to understand provides a solid foundation for the PCB design while making planning and troubleshooting easier. OrCAD Capture allows you to easily create and document a schematic for efficient collaboration and standardization.
