How to Create a BGA

In this video, I’ll show you how to design a BGA integrated circuit package in DEX, completely step-by-step. We’ll be creating a standard BGA package using the built-in parametric tools, and along the way I’ll explain what the important settings actually do and how they affect your design.

How to Create a DIP

In this video, I’m going to walk you step-by-step through how to design a Dual in Line integrated circuit package using DEX. We’ll create a standard Dual in Line device. I will also show you how to quickly add a socket for the IC.

How to Create a SOIC

In this video, I’m going to walk you step-by-step through how to design an SOIC integrated circuit package using DEX. W

e’ll create a standard SOIC device with gull-wing leads, and then I’ll also show you how to switch that design into a no-lead SOIC package for a more compact footprint and improved thermal performance.

On top of that, we’ll explore how to add a central thermal pad and even optional thermal vias for heat transfer through the PCB.

How to Create a QUAD IC

In this video, I’m thrilled to walk you through designing a quad package SMT IC

This device has electrical connections on all four sides and will feature gull-wing leads.

I’ll also show you how to design a No-lead QFN device, which offers a flatter, leadless design for better heat dissipation and a smaller footprint.

Plus, I’ll demonstrate how to add a central pad with optional thermal vias.
