After nearly 3.5 years working in Creative, I finaly decided to change a job with more challenge which I never encoutered.

In a new company, I decide to use OrCAD + Allegro to finish all projects. In next 3~4 weeks, I will write some notes about how to use Allegro to draw a PCB Board. Orcad is somebit of easy job for me because of that I've used a lot with the pspice simulation jobs.

Topic which covers: (Updated 2010-03-29)

1. How to draw Component’s footprint in Allegro

2. How to link a Component’s footprint with a schematic's symbol

3. How to Draw a board outline

4. How to Import a netlist from Capture

As you all know, I am a heavy search-depent person which got almost information from Google. So in my last year, I give a present a KeyNote to my colleagues on the Topic of "How to Google Everything".

And as an electronics engineer myself, I also have collected many design rule from Internet. Most of them coming from Semiconductor Corp (TI, NSC, LT, Onsemi, ... ). So here I gave my version of PCB Design GuideLine.

It will be the first one of my series Guide Book called - TGuide Book Series.

So Here is the 1st one. High Speed PCB Layout Guide Book
