MAIN TOPICS

Basics of OrCAD Capture
Basics of OrCAD Layout

EXAMPLE STUDIES

Multi-layer printed circuit board design with OrCAD.
PCB footprint creation.

DESCRIPTION

The introduction to OrCAD workshop is designed as a four-hour short course with both lecture and hands-on learning. The workshop will focus on the schematic and PCB design capabilities of OrCAD using OrCAD Capture and OrCAD Layout. The first component of the workshop discusses the basic OrCAD design flow, flat and hierarchical schematic design in OrCAD, an introduction to the OrCAD capture GUI, and part creation followed by the hands-on design of a simple circuit in OrCAD capture.

This is followed by fundamentals of layout design flow using OrCAD Layout with an overview of the OrCAD Layout GUI, multi layer board design with OrCAD, and PCB footprint creation. The hands-on design concludes this part of the workshop, with the PCB layout of the design circuit from basics of OrCAD capture.

BIOGRAPHICAL NOTE

Kalen Brunham obtained his B.Sc. (Computer Engineering) from the University of Manitoba in May 2000. During his undergraduate studies, he spent 18 months as an electronics designer intern at Vansco Electronics, Winnipeg. He is currently working on a Master's postgraduate degree with Professor Kinsner on compression for synthethic radar imaging applications. His research interests include embedded computing systems and the design of custom computing engines using programmable logic devices (PLDs). He is also working in conjunction with the Telecommunications Research Laboratories (TRLabs) as a graduate research fellow.
