Cadence Forward Annotation Tutorial

Cadence Forward Annotation Tutorial

After having started working on a PCB layout, sooner or later you will likely find changes need to be made to your original schematic. Fortunately, you do not need to start the PCB design over as a result! Forward annotation allows you to essentially export changes made in your schematic into an existing layout, and here is how to do this in Cadence.

Cadence Mounting Hole/Post Tutorial

Cadence Mounting Hole/Post Tutorial

Some components have, in addition to their electrical pins, mechanical supports that must be accounted for in the PCB footprint. Otherwise, without mounting holes for these pins to go into, the component will not fit onto the board. This tutorial will demonstrate how to add the mounting holes to the footprint for a THB001P joystick.

Cadence Walkthrough: PSoC 4 BLE Module

Introduction

This Cadence walkthrough goes through the process of creating a PSoC® 4 BLE module schematic symbol and PCB footprint.

How to Create a Silkscreen in Cadence and Manually Add Text to it

How to Create a Silkscreen in Cadence and Manually Add Text to it

  1. Create a (finalized) PCB layout. Note that the amount of additional work required for a good silkscreen layer will depend on how your PCB footprints were designed. This example will use the board shown below:

  1. Take note of all the files involved in the schematics you are merging, and ensure you have all of them. These include .dsn (design), .opj (project) and .olb (library) files, in addition to .psm (Package symbol, a.k.a. PCB footprint) files.
