Complete Electronics Hardware Design Course 2025 -EsteemPCB | Udemy

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
