|
| Learning Outcomes:
| After successfully completing this unit students will be able to:
* manufacture a simple 2 sided PCB board;
* solder through hole and surface mount components onto a PCB;
* conduct basic electronic testing of a PCB circuit;
* construct and test a supplied PCB circuit;
* design a simple Operational Amplifier circuit by adjusting resistor components.
|
| Aims: | To introduce students to the key concepts required for the manufacture of electronic circuits including Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design, soldering, surface mount and packaging. To gain experience in making simple circuit boards. To gain an insight to important practical aspects of electronic components including parasitic elements, real world behaviour and connections.
The unit will also complement the practical aspects of electronic circuit manufacture with theoretical background on electronic components, design tools, PCB manufacture techniques, and some design techniques.
|
| Skills: | Practical soldering and electronic construction; PCB manufacture using a milling machine; basic electronic circuit testing and debugging. All these skills are taught, facilitated and assessed.
|
| Content: | Principles of PCB manufacture, fundamentals of passive components, practical construction techniques including soldering and reflow for surface mount, principles of connectors, wires and tracks, basics of electronic systems packaging, design tools for simulating electronic circuits, simple operational amplifier circuits, placement of electronic components, power management for electronic circuits - with basics of power supplies and delivery on PCBs.
