You learned about impedance in school, but how does it relate to PCB design? This episode of Whiteboard Wednesday will discuss impedance and how to implement controlled impedance in your designs.

In this webinar, you'll learn: Why your stackup is critical to overall design success Key elements that comprise PCB board stack-ups (power planes, balance, flex / rigid-flex, etc) Material selection tips and guidelines Considerations for determining the optimal layer count Determining impedance targets and how your stack-up affects your ability to meet your impedance goals How to leverage your stackup to ensure design accuracy and good signal quality with your CAD system An overview of embedding components and the costs/benefits

Part one of an overview of the printed circuit board manufacturing process and information designers need to keep in mind before sending their PCB to manufacturing.

An overview of interactive Routing in OrCAD.

An overview of the Allegro Place Replicate feature.

An overview of the Cadence Auto-interactive convert corner feature.

See Allegro Symphony in action with three users.

Easily create and assign constraints for manufacturing based on IPC standards and common PCB rules.

Measure from true signal origin to end point through vias and through packages, not just the etch, so you can get timing right and ensure signal performance.
