Everything you ever wanted to know about placement and routing! The
concepts behind parts placement and trace routing always seem to pique
the interest of PCB designers. The reality is that there is seldom
one perfect way to place parts on a PCB. And once parts are placed,
there are hundreds of possibilities for routing the many transmission
lines of the circuit. Determining which placement and routing schemes
optimize the design is a matter of physics, fit and opinion. This
tutorial will focus on both the science behind placement and routing
and the opinions of the two instructors. Attendees will learn about
placement for optimum routing, placement "rooms" (several views), and
placement's effects on the schematic, EMI, board stack-up, fabrication,
testability, repair and assembly. It will also cover a typical design
flow, routing plans, routing for best signal integrity, what's most
important when routing, signals of greatest concern, I/O structures,
differential pairs, analog vs. digital, and much more.
What You Will Learn
* Have you ever wished someone would give you the tools to design
for optimum routing?
* Have you ever wanted to sit with a mentor and really absorb how
fabrication and assembly constraints can be minimized?

Who Will Benefit
This course is designed for the PCB Designers and Design Engineers -
all levels of design expertise will benefit from this insight of the
concepts behind parts placement and routing of complex PCBs
About the Instructors
SUSY WEBB is a senior PCB designer with 28 years of design experience.
She has worked in a variety of fields, including point-to-point
microwave network systems, oceanographic oil exploration equipment,
and CPCI and ATX computer motherboards. Webb has set up standards,
ISO procedures and library conventions for departmental use. She is
CID certified, and is an active member of the IPC Designers Council,
currently working as a member of its national executive board,
high-speed and education committees.
RICK HARTLEY is a senior design engineer and PCB specialist at L-3
Communication, Avionics Systems. He has 39 years of experience in the
electronics industry and has dedicated the past 29 years to PCB and
circuit development with emphasis on control of signal integrity and
control of EMI, in both digital and RF PCBs.
