Schematic Capture
- All electrical connections (net label to wire, wire to pin, wire to port, etc) must be aligned to a 10mil snap grid.
PCB Layout
- All boards must include title block with board name, Rev X.Y (see below), designer(s), and date the board was sent to fab
- All boards must have 4 mounting holes of [size TBD]
- Teardrops should be added at the end of layout
...
- Do NOT match IC pinouts to their physical layout. Instead, put power pins on top, ground on the bottom, inputs on the left and outputs on the right. See here for reasoning.
- All pins must be aligned to a 10mil snap grid.
- Component Parameters:
- Supplier
- Supplier_PN
- Manufacturer
- Manufacturer_PN
- Resistance/Capacitance/Inductance (For resistors, capacitors, or inductors)
- Forward Voltages (For diodes)
- Tolerances for passives
- Ratings for capacitors (X7R, X5R etc.)
- Relevant maximum ratings (for connectors, saturation current in inductors etc.)
