Explore section 3 introduction and attachment details within the advanced hardware and pcb design masterclass 2022 by EsteemPCB, focusing on key concepts and practical setup.
Learn how to select a PMIC for a processor board, compare reference designs and custom schematics, and evaluate sequencing, power blocks, and features using a column-based analysis.
Learn RK3399 system requirements, PMIC datasheet, and design guidelines, focusing on power sequencing and system power design across CPU, DDR, and PMU rails.
Learn how to select eMMC memory for embedded systems, analyzing JEDEC eMMC 5.1 compatibility, flash memory and controller roles, NAND types (SLC/MLC/TLC), and essential electrical and interface specs.
Map RK3399 pins from the datasheet and design guidelines, build schematic blocks, and assemble power, emc, and interface sections (type-c, ddr, pci) for a complete board design.
Explore LVDS interfaces and their low-voltage differential signaling, compare with RS-232 DB9 connections, and discuss differential drivers and receivers, cable length, termination, and multi-drop bus configurations.
Explore how to define and select layer stack-ups for multi-layer PCBs, comparing four- and six-layer configurations, plane types, and interlayer spacing for impedance control.

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)
Power Distribution Network Analysis (PDN Analysis) of any PCB.
and many more things.
Ferrite Bead, ESD Diodes, and Magnetic Application and their selection.
How to do Placement and Layout Planning on Microsoft-Paint and many more.
After the completion of this course, you can design any "Processor Board" without any Simulation models and third-party support.
