Schematic Design Tips -1
Based on my experience here I'm sharing some points to do error free hardware schematic design. 1.While creating schematic symbol and Footprint give easy and consistence naming. For Example Diode and LED - pin name as A, K For Transistors C,B,E MOSFET G,D, S IF IC's has more Ground pins, Provide GND1, GDN2 ... GNDn. For thermal ground pads TGND In my early stage, I used to give the name as 1 and 2 for Diode symbol, while matching the Footprint it made chaos. 2.Don't ever make four cross wire junction in your schematic. For schematic review most of the time we will send schematic PDF only. Four cross wire junction is very difficult to make ensure all the four wires are connected properly at that junction. If we miss it will leads to one more PCB revision. 3.While selecting components at-least select 2 alternate part numbers. While selecting connectors (Specially optical connectors) we should have at least 2 alternate part numbers.Th...
