Entry knowledge

Students who take the course registration should be able to use basic physical and electrical principles as related to simple electronic circuits.

Rules for evaluation and completion of the course

up to 40 points per exercise (student receives points for mid-term test)
up to 60 points per exam (exam consists of a written test questions and form of the practical tasks)
The content and forms of instruction in the evaluated course are specified by a regulation issued by the lecturer responsible for the course and updated for every academic year.

Aims

The aim of the course is to provide students with basic knowledge in the areas of computer PCB design.
The student is able to:
- Use Software systems Pads and OrCad for schema design and printed circuit boards
- Use design rules when designing schema
- Describe the characteristics of the library components and define their parameters
- Create PCB design and the design take into account the specified requirements and material specifics DPS
- Prepare technological outputs for PCB production
