The PCB Design Altium Designer Workshop was held on 24^th June 2023, at PCB Design Lab, Vemana Institute of Technology Bengaluru. Dr. Parameshwara M C, Associate Professor, Electronics and Communication Engineering Department, Vemana IT, welcomed the guests, faculties, and students. The program was inaugurated by lighting the lamp by the dignitaries, students, and faculty members. Followed by this , a talk on “PCB Design Flow” was presented by Mr. Vishal Subramanaya, Senior PCB Design Engineer at Wurth Electronics India Ltd.

Printed Circuit Boards are essential part of electronics; they provide a convenient way to rig up circuits and test them. The bread boarding techniques do not quite work if the number of connects increase substantially. Hence even for user’s PCB design is becoming essential. Also with smaller packaging sizes for Integrated circuits it is almost impossible to prototype on Breadboard. Around 20 students of 4^th sem were involved in the workshop. In the first session, “PCB Design Flow” was presented by Mr. Vishal Subramanaya, and in second and third session students practiced how to build a PCB with Altium software for a small circuit like a Adder, a 555 timer etc, right from schematic to layout. Following it a advanced tutorial and do a hands on session

The one-day workshop covers the journey of a PCB from schematic to fabrication: -

• a) Schematic Design
• b) Footprint assignment
• c) PCB Layout
• d) Generation of Gerber files for fabricatio
