How it works? How I practice? What is the support level?

What is an Online/Distance Certificate

course?
Online Training is a Virtual Classroom audio-video
environment that allows you to feel in live training events
without the need to travel. You listen to lectures,
participate in lab exercises, ask questions, and receive
feedback just as you would do in a conventional
classroom except you do it from the convenience of
your desktop, or anywhere you have an Internet and
phone connection. It saves the hassle, expense, and
travel time to a training site.

Why choose Online/Distance course?

Save 75% training cost to improve your productivity by
learning the very latest tools.
Virtual classes consist of multiple three-hour sessions
spread over several days, leaving the rest of each day
free for you to concentrate on your design projects.

Install the PCB Design Software package from the DVD inside the course material.
Training consists of conventional written discussions (in Adobe Acrobat) of
subjects, including links to multimedia demonstrations.

A click on the "Show me now opens an audio-video clip showing

exactly how to perform a specific action. User controls are available to pause or
repeat the clip until the action is understood. Additionally, the same PCB design
files used to create the demonstrations are included, allowing further practice for

Hyperlynx Power Integrity

Duration: 9 hours

Course Overview
This session - Optimizing Power Delivery with Effective Decoupling will discuss the ever-growing need for appropriate decoupling to
meet the AC current demands of today's power-hungry ICs.

Issues such as the number of decoupling capacitors, which

values to use, and how to mount the capacitors will be
discussed, as well as optimizing your design to reduce cost
and use fewer layers.
We will also illustrate how analysis of the problem can lead to
a more robust power system, allowing you to get to market
faster and have confidence in your PCB design.

What will you learn

How decoupling issues can affect your PCB design

How to analyze your PCB to quickly pinpoint power delivery
issues and explore solutions
How HyperLynx PI can help solidify your PCB power
distribution network
Practical Demonstration of fundamental Plane noise
analysis, Power delivery analysis and Via impedance
analysis through Hyperlynx

PCB CAM with CAM350

Course Part# PCBkey CM0509

Pricing USD90 / INR 4500

Shipping $50

CAM350 Training covers:

CAM350 is a multi-use tool for printed circuit board design and
fabrication. It can be used to verify CAM materials that have
been created by other PCB design tools such as PADS
Layout or Cadence. It can be used to prepare those same
materials for various processes such as step and repeat,
panelization or adjusting feature sizes to compensate for
fabrication variables. It can even be used to design a PCB
board from the ground up or reverse engineer a PCB design
from existing photo plots.
All PCB design tools have DRC (design rule check) utilities to
verify connectivity and spacing rules. But these utilities only
check the rules against the Design Database. CAM350 has the
ability to check the design database against the actual
materials that will be used to manufacture the PCB. This adds
an extra layer of protection from errors that can be introduced
either inadvertently by incorrect settings in the utility used to
generate the fabrication materials, or the potential inability of
the design software to detect certain errors.
Also explained are the output capabilities of CAM350 to create
check plots, Gerber and NC files, and a smart ODB++**
database that is compatible with Valor-Genesis software. The
necessary steps will typically be explained with text and
graphics, but most operations will also be demonstrated with
live action using on-screen digital video media. The real-time
video clips demonstrate their respective subject areas.

How It Works
Training consists of conventional written discussions in Adobe
Acrobat of subjects, including links to multimedia
demonstrations

NEW incorporation
CAM-CHECKS- you should
check before you release
your design to FAB House

A click on the "Show me now" opens an audio-video clip

showing exactly how to perform a specific action. User controls
are available to pause or repeat the clip until the action is
understood. Additionally, the same PCB design files used to
create the demonstrations are included, allowing further
practice.

HyperLynxSI-Signal Integrity Analysis

Pricing USD375 / INR 14250

Shipping $50

Signal integrity (SI) analysis is an essential part of modern

electronic design. Increasingly fast edge rates in todays
integrated circuits (ICs) cause detrimental high-speed effects,
even in PCB designs running at low operating frequencies. As
driver ICs switch faster, a growing volume of boards suffers
from signal degradation, including over/undershoot, ringing,
glitching, crosstalk, and timing problems. When degradation
becomes serious enough, the logic on a board can fail.

Audience: Design and CAD Engineers who will use

HyperLynx to analyze signal integrity
Prerequisites

Familiarity with High-speed PCB concepts

Slight Familiarity with Hyperlynx user interface is
recommended though not mandatory

Hardware engineers, PCB designers and signal integrity

specialists alike can use HyperLynx as a team; getting
simulation results without requiring weeks of software training.
The emphasis is on getting designs right the first time,
avoiding costly overdesign, and saving recurrent layout,
prototype and test cycles in the lab.
Hyperlynx Training covers:
The HyperLynx Signal Integrity Analysis course was
developed to help you understand basic signal integrity,
crosstalk, EMI concepts and gain proficiency in signal integrity,
crosstalk, and EMI analyses, pre and post layout.
Detailed lab exercises help reinforce what is discussed during
the lectures and provide you with extensive tool usage
experience under the guidance of our industry expert
instructors.
