The PCB Design process consists of three main phases. After watching this video, you will able to describe how OrCAD or Allegro is used to accomplish the phases in a PCB design flow.

Transcript

In the PCB design process, we typically have a schematic which is a drawing of the high level circuit diagram, then we're possible we test the functionality of the circuit trying in simulation. A lot of times simulation is not available to you. So you just have to go based on theory and electrical engineering knowledge, but it's always nice to have simulation. The last phase is PCB layout. This has to do with the mechanical and physical aspects of your actual printed circuit board. So it's not just conceptual, it's mechanical and all the physical parts of the PCB.

Orchid has a software program for each of these phases of the design process for a schematic capture, we have capture so that's very aptly named, it captures the circuit idea into a circuit drawing, known as a schematic. Next to handle simulation is p space p space is used for simulation. And then lastly, you go to the PCB layout process. We handled by PCB editor. Now with an understanding of how capture piece buys and PCB editor are integrated into the PCB design process for schematic simulation and PCB layout, you'll know exactly which software to use during each phase of the PCB design process.
