Learning outcomes

On completion of the course, the student should be able to.

assess the effect of electric and mechanical limitations of different discrete and active circuits that are used within the electronics industry of today
make a schematic capture drawing of different electronic designs in an advanced ECAD-system

Content

Component knowledge:

Strong and weak sides regarding electric disturbances (EMC) and heat.

EMC-teori:

Disturbance sources and methods to limit disturbances from own and external generated noise. Exercise with oscilloscope and network analyser.

Schematic capture:

Libraries- and component-handling. Function verification via rule-checking tool (not simulation). Computer exercises with advanced ECAD-system.

Layout:

Libraries - and component handling. Design rules and practical handling of EMC problem. Design verification.

3D modelling. Design for production. Computer exercises with advanced ECAD - systems.

Instruction

Lectures, demonstrations and computer exercises.

Assessment

Project with scheme, layout and EMC aspects documented in a report . Active participation during scheduled hours. Optional written examination.

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
