Welcome to PCB PRO!
You'll find an abundance of resources to help you in your journey to become proficient in the art of designing Printed Circuit Boards. The content covered is primarily around usage of the Cadence Schematics and PCB Editor tools but also includes basic principles for circuit board design, high speed signal routing, and even insight on the manufacturing and assembly process. You'll find numerous links in the Menu sidebar which will help you navigate to sections of interest.
And of course, nothing is more interesting than light humour so dig into some PCB Jokes to spark up some inspiration!
This website is not structured as a course but rather an accummulation of posts providing in depth instructions on how to complete certain task using the Cadence EDA tools. Efforts are made to provide detailed illustrations in the posts but if that doesn't suffice, feel free to watch the focused YouTube videos which also take a step by step approach.
In addition, the content will feature less-known capabilities of the Cadence tool which will greatly enhance the user experience. It could be as simple as saving a customized colour template which can be reloaded when the tool is opened to provide a consistent working environment. Or a significant time saving feature such as the sub-drawing import/export which replicates the more traditional copy and paste functionality within the PCB Editor tool. Take your time in exploring these unique and hidden gems as you delve into the world of circuit board design and of course if you have any comments, questions, or concerns, don't hesitate to send a quick email thru the contact page.
