Aim of the course

Know-how and competences in the field of applying Electronic Design Automation software supporting the process of designing electronic circuits with emphasis on embedded microprocessor systems.

Prerequisites

Principles of programming, Digital system design, Microcomputer circuits and systems

Scope

Introduction to the computer-aided design of electronic circuits. Historical outline. Overview of Electronic Design Automation systems. Basic notions and definitions. Imperial and metric system of units.

Methodology of designing an electronic circuit using EDA system. Basic concepts on capturing a circuit as a schematic diagram: netlist, wires and buses. Component library structure: part, symbol, package and padstack. Creating schematic diagrams with hierarchical and multipage techniques. Printed Circuit Board designing using layout editor. Methods of placing components and routing traces. Designing one, two and multilayer PCB. Automatic routing of PCB traces with an autorouter tool. Design rule check in EDA systems.

Printed Circuit Board designing for EMC requirements. Basic knowledge of RF emissions and susceptibility of electronic circuits. PCB EMC techniques: circuit zoning, suppressing interfaces between circuit zones, ground system, power routing and decoupling, signal routing and line termination. Signal integrity and transmission lines on PCB.

Computer simulation of electronic circuits. SPICE simulation fundamentals. Types of simulation analysis: nonlinear dc, small signal ac, transient, sensitivity and distortion. Models of electronic devices.  Schematic-level simulation of embedded microprocessor systems. Analysis of simulation results.

Computer simulation of thermal and electromagnetic properties of printed circuit boards.

Producing design documentation and CAM files in EDA systems.
