Introduction to Electronics Training by Tonex
Electronics is the branch of physics and technology that deals with circuits, transistors, microchips, and the behavior and movement of electrons.
Electronics features electric circuits containing active and passive elements and uses underlying techniques. It is an important part of engineering.
Without question, electronics in all its permutations is ingrained into modern society. Electronic devices have become an important part of our day-to-day life. It has become difficult for us to do work without using electronic devices.
We live in a generation that uses electronics and technologies where robots and artificial intelligence are capable of doing human work with more ease and efficiency.
The thing about electronics that tends to mesmerize people attracted to this field is the manner in which electronics continues to evolve.
There is probably no area of technology evolving faster than electronics.
One area of electronics that is of special interest to analysts and organizations alike is organic electronics.
According to an analysis by Emergen Research, the global organic electronics market size was $55.18 billion in 2020 and is expected to reach $178.25 billion in 2028 and register a revenue CAGR of 15.4% during the forecast period, 2021-2028.
Analysts report that increasing focus on production of environmentally sustainable and cost-effective semiconductors, rising demand for consumer electronics, and growing need to integrate advanced and novel functionalities in electronic products are some key factors driving market growth.
An important concept to understand in electronics is the PCB (printed circuit board) fabrication process.
PCB fabrication is the process or procedure that transforms a circuit board design into a physical structure based upon the specifications provided in the design package.
Introduction to Electronics Course by Tonex
Introduction to Electronics is a 5-day training focusing on analysis and applications of common electronic components, their functions and applications in modern systems.
Participants will learn about electronic circuit design, analog and digital circuits and components, circuit design, soldering, wiring, PCB, PCB layout design, PCB fabrication, simulation software and organic electronics design. Participants will learn about high-tech products and systems enabled by modern electronics.
Printed Circuit Board (PCB) fabrication is the assembly method for circuit boards used in electronic, computer devices and modern systems. The layers of the board are put together along with the specific surface pattern so it can be used in electronics manufacturing
