Requirements
Student should have Understanding of Board Design.
Student should have Completed the Complex Mixed Signal Board Design Course.
Student should have Patience and Determination to complete the course which has more than 10,000 interconnects and Lot of Dense Components to route.
For this course Student should have "Altium Designer" Installed on their PC / Laptop
You do not need any prior knowledge of "Altium Designer" because we'll going to do everything from scratch.

Major Schematic Blocks that I have designed in this course are Project Block Diagram, "Power Budget Block Diagram", "Power Supply Schematic for RK3399", "PMUIO Schematic Block of RK3399", "EMMC/PCIe/ADC Schematic for RK3399", "EDP/MIPI-DSI/HDMI Schematic for RK3399", "Type-C/USB3.0/USB2.0 Hosts Schematic for RK3399", "MIPI-CSI/GPIOs/I2C Schematic of RK3399", "MII/RMII/GMII/RGMII Schematic for RK3399", "SDR/DDRx/LPDDRx Schematic For RK3399", "PMIC/DC-DC/LDOs/Buck-Boost for RK3399" and many more various subparts you will learn in this course as you can see on the curriculum sections and their lessons.

You will also learn some basic hardware designing blocks as well as You will also learn some Basic Blocks as well

Pre-Schematic Design Blocks (Block Diagram and Power Budget)

Layer Stack-up Selection and Rules for Defining any Stack-up

Different Grounding Techniques( Signal Grounding, Earth Grounding, Chassis Grounding)
