Thiết kế PCB với Proteus

In this course We are going to cover all the necessary aspect to design a high quality printed circuit board. This is a step by step course.

We are going to start in the squematic circuit then the PCB layout and get the 3d visualization, also We are going to learn how to get the output files like PDF and Gerber files.

Let's get started¡¡¡

We will cover the complete process to design a PCB with Proteus, and see the below subjects

1. The use of Proteus as PCB Desing Software
Proteus is not just an Virtual Electronic Laboratory with different modules, in this course We are using Proteus as PCB Design software, since it has a powerful and dynamic interface.

We will learn:
   - How to navegate in the Proteus interface.
   - Understand the working methodology in Proteus.
   - The different files that We will create (Schematic & Footprint Library)

2. The Schematic & Schematic Library

In Proteus We can create an Schematic Library, where we are going to collect all our Projects schematic symbols. It is better to separate our Projects symbols from the Proteus Library Symbols. So in this way We can be sure about the components We are using, in additional when we are going to share our Project File everything will be well separated and idetificated.

We will learn:

   - How to create the schematic library.
   - How to create new schematic symbols.
   - How to use the schematic symbols from Proteus Library.
   - How to modify the schematic symbols from Proteus Library.
   - How to add the new symbols into our schematic library.
   - How to identify our schematic library and where to find it.
   - Complete our Schematic Diagram.

3. PCB Layout & Footprint Library
Once we complete our schematic diagram, We are going to pass to the PCB Layouy interface. Where we finally will make the layout of our project. After we complete this step, we can get all the out files to create our pcb.

We will learn:

   - How to create the Footprint Library.
   - How to create new Footprints and add them into our library.
   - How to modify the Footprint from Proteus Library.
   - How to identify our Footprint library and where to find it.
   - How to use the Autorouting option.
   - How to route our PCB ( 1 & 2 layers pcb)
   - Understand the PCB Layout terminology.

4. Visualization 3D
Proteus offers the 3d Visualization, which we can consider necesary, it will be kind of confirmation between our models and the real component. We add easly the 3d models and get our 3d PCB that we can share.

We will learn:

   - How to add 3d models.
   - How to Switch to the 3d view.
   - How to set the 3d pcb (Colors, visual options, Copper, 3d models)
   - Where to find new 3d models.
   - Which extension for 3d model we need to use.
   - Export our 3d pcb.

5. Manufacturer Files

The manfacturer files are the final files that we need to get from our Project, and with them we are going to create the pcb in real. Process will provide these information after we complete the layout of our pcb.

We will learn:

   - How to get the Gerber Files.
   - How to get the PDF files (Top and Bottom Copper layer )
   - How to order our PCB from PCB factory.
