Hardware Design for Junior EE's
The goal is to give you the knowledge you would typically get in the first year as a Hardware Design Engineer. We have built the course assuming that non of the participants have a background (theoretical or practical) in Hardware Board Design. This makes this course perfect for students, fresh graduates and junior engineers who just started their role as a HW Design Engineers.
​
After this course you will:
-
Be able to analyse commonly used analog circuits.​
-
Have intuitive understanding of how popular components work, and when & how to use them.​
​​
-
Get to know industry-aligned topics of "real" circuits: Digital Design, Communications, Design considerations and more!
Join us on a journey of learning!

What you will learn
01
Commonly used components and popular circuits
Dive into switches, transistors, transformers and diodes.
What is an Inrush current and how to handle it -
The passive inrush protection circuit and an intro into the active surge stopper (hot swap) protection circuit.​​
02
Power Electronics
Basics of DC-DC converters, popular topoliges, intro to converter control and thermal management.
Operational Amplifier (Op-amp), buffer, comperator and negative feedback.
Must-know parameters of "real" op-amp.
LDO and reference voltage circuits and when to use them.​​​
03
Simulations (LTspice)
Learn about popular simulation tools, their differences, and when to use them.
Simulate the circuits we studied in LTspice together!
04
Digital Board Design
Regularly used communication protocols: I2C, UART, SPI, RS485.
Commonly used components:
GPIO expanders, USB to Serial Converter, JTAG.
Introduction to High-speed layout.
05
KiCAD Mini Project
Design a surge stopper protection circuit and an active BPF.
Step-by-step: Starting a new project, creating symbols and footprints and drawing schematic.
Alongside the technical side of the design you will learn schematic drawing considerations and dive deeper into analog design considerations.
