Laboratory work

The course contains two laboratory lessons. The first is about drawing the schematic and simulation of a circuit.
The second is about producing the layout from a given schematic
Lab1-PM (word, 2 MB)
Lab2-PM (word, 2 MB)

S (word, 2 MB)  Sometimes you need to calculate the trace width yourself for your board design. There are many freeware that can help you do this if you provide some input like:
current, temperature rise, copper layer etc

There are many tools for producing PCB:s  some are free and some not.
Below we have a tutorial that is free and some software for simulation and PCB design.

PCB Design Tutorial

PADS PCB Design Solutions evaluation software with layout, schematic and simulation

TINA-TI: SPICE-Based Analog Simulation Program

The software we use for our design in this course can be found at Cadence:
