What is a printed circuit board (PCB)?
See the What is a Printed Circuit Board? page for more information about PCBs and the general design flow for creating a PCB.What is Cadence PCB Editor?
Cadence PCB Editor is an electronic CAD (ECAD) program that takes a netlist created by Cadence Schematic Capture and provides you a software environment to design a PCB. A netlist is a file that describes interconnections among components in a circuit. Read the short Cadence (Allegro) PCB Designer Datasheet for an overview of the software and its features.Video Walkthrough (Cadence 16.6)
How do I launch Cadence to create a PCB?
In Windows, launch "PCB Editor".This program is also called "Allegro PCB Designer (was Performance L)" and "Allegro PCB Design L (legacy)". These programs are all equivalent.
How do I transfer a design from Design Entry CIS to PCB Editor?
See the Transferring a Cadence Schematic to PCB Editor page.How do I create a PCB layout in PCB Editor?
- Create a board outline
- Change the library search path to point to the footprints folder
- Place the components into the design
- Route traces on the PCB
- Follow the ASU PCB Fabrication Process
