Description

Learn Altium Essentials course. This training course will help you to design your electronic boards in Altium Designer software. In this course, the design of a switching power supply is used as an example to illustrate the entire process of designing a board. You can follow all the steps based on the video, repeat them and then design your own boards.

What you will learn in this course:

Starting a project, creating a library: Start with Altium Designer and create a schematic symbol library. Things to consider when looking for alternatives. Basic concepts of creating and editing schematic symbols such as capacitors, resistors, inductors and transistors. Create your own schematic symbols and start designing your first project in Altium Designer.
Schematic drawing: Schematic drawing in Altium Designer. A solid understanding of how to create and edit schematics in Altium Designer, a critical step in the PCB design process. Create, optimize and place components in the schematic. Why create all the components? Connecting the most important pins. Schematic annotation and compilation.
Creating base designs: How to create custom base designs in Altium Designer to use in your PCB designs. Essential tips about grids, coordinates, layers, snapping and scaling. Possible problems with certain layers of PCB design. Setting project properties and setting basic rules. Compile and create a new PCB.
Layout: PCB layout basics using Altium Designer. Create a set of layers. Understanding how to place and move components, routing paths, and optimizing your board layout for performance and manufacturability. Investigating violations and fixing them. A solid foundation for creating your own PCB layout.
PCB Improvement: Techniques to refine and improve your PCB design layout. Improvement tips for removing heat. By the end of this lesson, you will have a thorough understanding of how to make effective layout decisions and achieve the best possible results in your PCB designs.
Completion and production of construction outputs: Completion of the layout and production of construction outputs. You will learn how to generate essential manufacturing outputs, including Gerber files and assembly drawings. By the end of this lesson, you will have a thorough understanding of the steps required to complete your PCB layout and produce the necessary documentation for manufacturing.
