Course Description

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

This course enabled me to gain knowledge on many topics I was previously unfamiliar with. It was a detailed and thoroughly enjoyable course. Upon completing it, I feel I have significantly improved myself. Thank you very much.

By Miguel Ureña on 5/2/2026

It's a very good hands-on course, but I feel that is lacking a bit on the theory side. You learn a lot, but not in the depth I originally thought. Personally, I don't like the live lecture style, a lot of time is spent watching the lecturer working with the program. It is a great course regardless, and I'll watch it to the end

The course was very insightful and I learnt so much from it. Thanks to Aviral for using multiple tools and showing the use case of theses tools alongside the detailed documents he uses.

By Omoding Joshua on 10/13/2022

I liked the course very much. I think the thing I learnt most from the course is a well organized professional procedure on how to design a PCB from start to finish. However I think that there should be an improvement in explaining the more technical things that are harder to understand.

By Nikunj Patel on 7/8/2022

If you want to scale up your knowledge and experience designing PCB, then you should take this course. You will learn a lot and helpful tricks & tips to help you get better at hardware design.

By Kweku Addae-Mensah on 1/25/2022

Course content was very well presented. I have been out of Hardware design for 10 years but was able to pick-up almost from where I left -off. His library is well developed and he answered my questions within time frame

By Muthukumar s on 11/30/2021

i really clear course give details from scratch and get solution to all of my questions in my mind ,in the resources section the shared doc also very useful and also now i know more shortcut keys to design fast, i hope it give change in my career thank you very much Mr.Aviral

By Basavanappa Biradar on 10/1/2021

Very Good Course, Most of the things i applying in my career and getting better results of my career grouth. Specially i like last session of PDN analysis. Thank you very much Aviral for this course.

By Adrian Wong on 9/5/2021

Pros: (1) Learned about component selection, Altium shortcuts in the PCB Layout, tips for naming schematic and footprints (provides document), tips for library management. These things I never thought of before (2) Instructor usually responds to questions within 24 hours. I wish his response was more thorough. Suggestions. (1) Would have been better for you to do a second recording. Learned what you did the first time you gave this course and make a second course with all the things you learned and to make it more smoother. The course shows that the instructor has an idea what he wants to do and design. But he is figuring things out in the moment. (2) I thought the component placement and PCB layout could have been a lot better. For example, have a list of pins that a certain net ('ADC') in the excel file. During the layout, certain pins can be changed if its better. (3) A little strange to put giant capacitors on the bottom of the PCB, but the instructor did say to put the capacitors on top later on in the course.
