Schematic and PCB Design

 Cadence tool chain


 300-600 seats at Stanford for each tool
 Allegro / SPB 15.7
 Industry Standard (Allegro or OrCAD)
 Design Entry CIS for Schematic Capture
 AKA PCB Design Studio / PCB Design Expert, Capture CIS, OrCAD
Capture
 Layout Plus for PCB Layout
 No networked parts library for this class

 Be patient when starting program


 Licenses may take up to 15mins to check out
 Before license acquired, no window on screen
 Do NOT run multiple times! Look for capture.exe task first.
 License Info: http://www-vlsi.stanford.edu/cadtools/old_index.html

Schematic Nomenclature

Parts are actual components


Nets connect parts at pins or nodes
Net Aliases name the nets
 All nets with same alias are connected electrically!
Busses are a collection of nets with a common base
name
 Mem[0..15] is 16 nets in a bus
Use Off-Page connectors with nets and busses going
to other schematic pages
Power (Vcc, etc) and GND Symbols
 Makes it clear which nets are for power
 Gives hints to PCB Layout program
Use No-connects to indicate pins with no connection
 Helps when checking schematic for unconnected pins
