Description
High-Speed design with KiCad is a course on how to design advanced, high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs) using the open-source KiCad platform, published by Udemy Online Academy. This course teaches you how to design advanced, high-speed printed circuit boards (PCBs) using the open-source KiCad platform. The course focuses on the fundamentals of signal integrity, impedance control, and high-frequency layout techniques required for modern electronic systems. Learners will gain hands-on experience in schematic design, PCB routing, and simulation, and develop the skills needed to create reliable, high-performance circuit designs.
In this course, you will learn how to design a professional, high-speed computer-based board from scratch using KiCad. This project is based on the LattePanda Mu, a powerful Intel N100 compute module, and you will build a fully functional custom carrier board that connects its interfaces – USB, HDMI, Ethernet, GPIO, and power – to standard connectors. By the end of the course, you will not only have a high-speed carrier board ready to build, but also the confidence to design complex, real-world PCBs that meet professional standards. Whether your goal is to create your own single-board computer, prototype a new embedded system, or simply advance your skills as an electronics designer, this course provides a complete roadmap.
What you will learn in High-Speed design with KiCad:
- Understand the architecture and capabilities of the LattePanda Mu compute module, including its power, data, and high-speed interface requirements
- Design a complete carrier board that turns the LattePanda Mu into a functional, standalone computer.
- Proficient in using KiCad to create multi-page hierarchical schematics and manage complex PCB projects.
- Apply proper component selection and footprint management for connectors, power circuits, and high-speed interfaces.
- Configure and optimize PCB layouts for signal integrity and controlled impedance.
- Design and route high-speed differential pairs for USB 3.0, HDMI, and Gigabit Ethernet interfaces.
- Implement best practices for grounding, shielding, and power distribution to minimize noise and interference.
- Perform impedance calculations and length matching for high-speed traces using KiCad and online tools.
- Integrate protection and filtering circuits, including ESD, transient suppression and signal conditioning.
