Understanding the PCB Fabrication Process

Created: January 21, 2022
Updated: January 24, 2022

You're done designing? Great! Now it's time to get your board fabricated. This webinar will discuss the process of getting your board fabricated, how to work with your manufacturer, and potential problems you might face.

We will cover key topics including:

  • How to securely share design data with your manufacturer

  • When to send your PCB files, Gerbers, or both

  • How the manufacturer views your design

  • Best practices for effectively communicating with your manufacturer

31:31 Transmission Line Impedance Calculation With Altium Designer Today’s PCBs contain many transmission lines. Combine this with increased clock frequencies and data rates and the result is a critical challenge to high-speed design. Neglecting these dynamics can undermine product development by compromising performance, power consumption, EMC/EMI compliance, and more - leading to delayed design cycles and opening gaps that can be exploited by your competition. Hone your high-speed design skills by joining us as we discuss the typical transmission lines encountered in today’s designs, the PCB variables that affect impedance, as well as how to create, calculate, and design transmission lines in Altium Designer. Learn how to maximize the built in SIMBEOR® engine by Simberian to craft impedance profiles and manage transmission lines in your designs.
