Electronic Systems Design: Hands-on Circuits and PCB Design with CAD Software

ABOUT THE COURSE: This course is designed with an aim to make participants familiar with printed circuit board (PCB) design and fundamentals of electronic circuits. Participants will have the capability to examine and build fundamental analog and digital circuits, in addition to creating printed circuit boards, assembling them, and ensuring their proper functionality. Participants will have the opportunity to utilize various CAD and design tools, including schematic entry, PCB layout and routing, circuit simulators, CircuitMaker, and other related software. Participants will gain practical skills in activities such as circuit construction, exporting circuits to PCB layout, working with through holes and vias, and performing routing, among other techniques.INTENDED AUDIENCE: Candidates having or pursuing BTech/MTech/MS/BSc/MSc/PhD degree. Candidates with background in electronics can also attend.PREREQUISITES: Basic ElectronicsINDUSTRY SUPPORT: Electronics Industries, CSIR-CEERI Pilani, Bharat Electronics Limited (BEL), DRDO
