Altium Design Lecture with Milwaukee Tool

Milwaukee Tool will host a talk on general PCB design utilizing Altium, followed by a hands-on session for students to create a layout themselves.  Students are welcome to come to only the lecture portion or only the hands on portion.

The talk will be focused on the following topics with PCB design

• Brief introduction to schematic capture
• Schematic to PCB translation
• Layout best practices for high current capacity designs
• Layout analysis for high current designs
  • General best practices
  • Altium built in FEA analysis for quick checks
  • Example output from Ansys SIWave for detailed analysis

The hands on session will focus on designing a PCB that is capable of sustaining a continuous 100A load.  Any student who would like to attend this will need to bring a laptop with Altium installed and activated.

Food will be served.
