IC & PCB Engineering

Schematic design, PCB layout, hybrid integrated circuits — coursework demonstrating end-to-end hardware design workflow.

Overview

This repository showcases practical work in integrated circuit and printed circuit board engineering, covering the full hardware design pipeline: from circuit analysis and component selection to multi-layer PCB routing, design rule verification, and 3D presentation.

The work is organized into two parts:

• Part 1 — Hybrid Integrated Circuits: film-based resistors, capacitors, and transistor integration
• Part 2 — Multi-Layer PCB Design: complete schematic-to-board workflow with custom-authored design documentation

Self-Authored Design Guide

Important

A comprehensive PCB design guide (hw2/guide.pdf) authored from scratch, covering the complete schematic-to-PCB workflow. Created independently in absence of official course materials.

This guide is reusable for any KiCad-based PCB design workflow and represents original technical documentation work beyond the course requirements.
