Complex Mixed Signal Board Design Course (Ethernet PHY, STM32F407, STM32F103, CH340C, DAC/MIC, 24Bit ADC, 36W Drivers)

I have divided this course into four major sections:

1. Selection of Components: Choosing each component that will be used in the schematic.

2. Schematic Design: Designing schematics based on datasheet information.

3. Stack-up and Placement: Planning and executing 4-layer, 6-layer, 8-layer, and 12-layer stack-ups, along with component placement.

4. Layout Planning: Inter-block and intra-block layout planning and execution.

The major schematic blocks designed in this course include:

• Ethernet PHY (10/100 Mb/s)

• I2S DAC for headphones and speakers

• MEMS microphone

• 24-bit ADC

• 36W bi-directional brushed DC motor drivers

• UART to USB TTL converter

• STM32F103 controller as debugger and programmer

• STM32F407 main controller

• Power supply and protection circuits

• And many more subparts listed in the curriculum.

You will also learn basic blocks such as:

• Pre-schematic design: Block diagrams and power budgeting

• Rules for stack-up selection and defining stack-ups

• Grounding techniques: Signal grounding, earth grounding, chassis grounding

• Creating rigid-flex PCBs and their stack-ups

• Pin-mapping using Cube-MX tool

• Power distribution network (PDN) analysis for PCBs

• Selection and application of ferrite beads, ESD diodes, and magnetic components

• Placement and layout planning using Microsoft Paint

After completing this course, you will be able to design mixed-signal PCBs with microcontrollers available worldwide.

The major controllers used in this course are:

• STM32F407XX

• STM32F103XX

• Ethernet PHYs, various sensors, ADCs, and DACs
