ELCT 132 Printed Circuit Board Layout and Design5 credits
This course provides students the necessary knowledge to design the PCB. Students modify and create libraries from part datasheets and use them to create schematics and layout PCBs for various circuits. The course prepares students to design and fabricate their own PCBs for projects and to work in PCB design and fabrication.
Prerequisites: ELCT 120 , ELCT 121 , and ELCT 122
Corequisites: ELCT 130 and ELCT 131
Course Outcomes
Upon successful completion of this course students will be able to:
- Describe the evaluation, types, and classes of PCB
- Describe the basic manufacturing processes used in PCB construction
- Describe the components, file types, and steps involved in the schematic, layout, fabrication, and assembly process of PCB design
- Explain the basic concepts of transmission lines, crosstalk, and thermal issues
- Use PCB schematic capture and layout software
- Design PCB schematic and layout for analog circuits, digital circuits, and mixed circuits
- Integrate the basics of PCB layout, including calculations of trace width for current handling capability and impedance, to successfully complete a PCB design
- Fabricate the PCB using LPKF machines
- Demonstrate the testing and troubleshooting of the PCB
- Explain industry-standard documentation necessary to produce PCBs
Total Hours: 80 Theory (Lecture) Hours: 20 Guided Practice (Lab or Clinical) Hours: 60
