ENGR166 HM - High-Speed PC Board Design
Credit(s): 3
Staff. This course provides the student exposure to fundamental and practical issues in the design and fabrication of printed circuit boards (PCBs), with primary emphasis on boards for high-speed digital circuits. Students work in teams to design a high-speed PCB, which can then be fabricated and subsequently tested by the students. Upon completing this course, students should be able to use appropriate CAD tools to capture a circuit schematic, choose a board cross-section, place components on a board and route wiring. Further, the course should enable students to recognize when circuit speed/size combinations are likely to make “high-speed effects” such as reflections and cross talk important, to know how to quantify these effects and their impact on performance, and to design their boards to reduce the deleterious effects to an acceptable level. (Spring, alternate years)
Prerequisite(s): ENGR084 HM and (ENGR085 HM or ENGR085A HM )
