Learning outcomes
|
To introduce students to the fundamentals of electronic device design and manufacturing with a focus on printed circuit board (PCB) design and construction. To introduce the rules of PCB design with respect to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and manufacturability. The course provides students with information on the PCB manufacturing process and the technologies used in the production of assembled PCBs.
The aim of the course is to guide the students through the tools and methods of electrical design, technical drawing of schematics, use of drawing and design tools, orientation in design software, classical schematics, multi-page schematics, hierarchical schematics, automatic ERC error checking and their solutions. Schematic design is followed by orientation to PCB design tools, definition of design rules, technology requirements, PCB design, use of automated tools, finishing, design checking and debugging, generation of production data and creation of technical documentation. Basic introduction to PCB design methods with respect to manufacturability, electromagnetic compatibility and minimization of interference, learn how to properly distribute power with respect to the technological capabilities of the PCB, power blocking, troubleshooting critical connections, combination of analog and digital parts on a single PDS, protection of sensitive components PCB fabrication and PCB assembly from the perspective of prototype, small batch and large batch production, tools and options in manufacturing, PCB fabrication methods, assembly, soldering, testing and follow-up with design systems. The course includes hands-on instruction in the selected design system and a prototype manufacturing lab.
