Plan de Estudios de Diseño de PCB de IPC

This series of ten micro-modules introduce some of the key concepts required to optimize the design of printed circuit boards for manufacture. If you'd like to learn more after completing the series, consider consider taking the IPC Design for Manufacturability course.

Taught by an IPC-certified industry expert with more than 25 years of experience in the field, this 6-week online program introduces participants to the concepts and skills required to create real-world designs that comply with IPC standards. This introductory course will focus on front-end design concepts such as schematic capture, library parts creation, basic electrical engineering concepts, and documentaion.

In this course, participants employ the lessons learned in Introduction to PCB Design I to effectively implement their designs using techniques such as multi-layer routing, signal integrity, transmission lines, and more. The course also focuses on how manufacturing and assembly techniques impact design, documentation and manufacturing file generation.

Taught by an industry expert with more than 40 years of experience in the field, this three-week online program is designed to provide the knowledge and skills necessary to reduce or eliminate design, documentation, and capability issues that often arise when completed PCB designs are sent to the fabricator for production.

This course addresses specific design challenges encountered in military and aerospace applications, including the effects of vibration, shock, radiation, and altitude, extended operating temperature range, and other design considerations for high reliability applications. PCB Design for Military & Aerospace Applications also focuses on the impact of these designs on manufacturing and assembly techniques, documentation, and manufacturing file generation.

This course is designed to provide the skills necessary to effectively implement designs requiring flex and rigid-flex circuits in accordance with product requirements. PCB Design for Flex & Rigid-Flex Boards also focuses on the impact of these designs on manufacturing and assembly techniques, documentation, and manufacturing file generation.

The course will start with design of HDI and advanced packaging concepts. This will be followed by embedded component design and the students will see how concepts from HDI are used in the implementation of embedded components. Next, concepts necessary for the design of wearable electronics and how the use of concepts from HDI and Embedded are necessary to achieve the small size and light weight of wearable electronics.

This course provides the theoretical knowledge and practical skills required to create IPC-compliant PCB designs for high-speed analog, radio (RF), and microwave frequencies. This program is designed to provide circuit board designers with a balanced foundation of theoretical knowledge and practical skills in printed circuit board design. Upon completion, participants will be able to: Design boards for high-speed analog and RF/microwave frequencies. Understand the trade-offs in materials used in these applications. Define a board stackup that implements structures that will meet the needs of these designs. Understand and mitigate signal integrity issues for these designs. Understand and define the effects of mechanical retention needs for these applications. Define and implement the tighter manufacturing tolerances needed for these designs. Understand the use of mixed material stackups in these designs. Understand the documentation requirements for these designs.
