PCB Design & Manufacturing: A Complete Theoretical Guide

This comprehensive course is designed to equip learners with the essential knowledge and practical skills required to design and manufacture high-quality Printed Circuit Boards (PCBs). Whether you're a student, hobbyist, or working professional in the field of electronics or embedded systems, this course offers a structured pathway from foundational principles to advanced design considerations. The course begins with the core concepts of PCB design, including component types, classification of PCBs, and layout planning.

Learners will gain insight into the mechanical aspects of PCB design, mounting techniques, and stress analysis, which are crucial for ensuring the reliability and longevity of electronic systems. Electrical design considerations, component placement, power supply routing, and grounding rules are covered in detail to help you build optimized and interference-free designs. In the later sections, the course delves into specialized topics such as environmental impacts on PCB design, thermal management, and advanced layout techniques.

You will explore design rules specific to analog and digital circuits, and learn how to address real-world problems like reflections, crosstalk, and signal integrity issues. The course also covers high-frequency, fast-pulse, and microwave circuit design preparing you for the most demanding applications in modern electronics. By the end of this course, you will be able to confidently design, analyze, and prepare PCBs for professional manufacturing.

You'll not only develop strong theoretical understanding but also gain practical insights that are applicable across industries ranging from consumer electronics to telecommunications and aerospace.
