Component Standards Systematic and consistent component selection helps a lot in speeding up the process of coming up with your PCB product. Make sure to have standard sources of component symbols and footprints, regardless of your ECAD software. It is a great idea to use a mixture of your own standardized library for commonly-used parts, and off-the-shelf blueprints for rarely-used parts, as provided by several websites on the internet. Organized Schematics An organized schematic with standard graphical parameters is the key for easy transfer and modification of the design. Pay careful attention to designators, sheet templates, the component parameters you… Read More »10 Tips for Efficient PCB Design
