Description

Advanced PCB Layout Course is the name of a popular course on the FEDEVEL Academy website to teach Advanced Printed Circuit Board (PCB) in Altium Designer software. In this course, you will learn how to implement advanced, correct, and basic PCB layouts such as DDR3, PCIE, SATA, Ethernet, and more. Like other FEDEVEL Academy tutorials, this tutorial is a hands-on tutorial and you will learn how to design the layout by viewing the layout of a true high-speed board north of a 1.2 GHz CPU, DDR3, PCIE, SATA, HDMI, LVDS, 1 GB Ethernet, and Etc. is you will learn.

This course uses the iMX6 Rex to teach PCB layout and is suitable for all people, both engineers and professionals, and of course requires a basic familiarity with Altium Desinger. The layout of a PCB covers a variety of topics, including this course, all that is required such as basic rules, fan installation, layer arrangement, number of layers, length matching, length adjustment, high-speed design rules, types of layout tips, connecting different components, topology T-branch learns against Fly-by and many more. With the help of this course, you can learn the advanced layout of a PCB with the necessary details.

What do you learn:

Placement: How to place CPUs, memories, power supplies, connectors, etc.
Basic rules and basic accumulation: Basic rules and settings to start the layout
