System Conceptualization

Before we can get into the fun part of schematic design and pcb layouts, we have to first figure out what we are designing and how it all connects together.

I have broken this part into three sections that help promote system organization and reduce the risk of errors in the design on the system.

Key components

  1. System Overview
  2. Power Flow Diagram
  3. Pinout Spreadsheet
  4. Circuit Simulation - For designs with analog circuitry
  5. Circuit Prototyping - For designs with analog circuitry

Always refer to component datasheets and reference designs to avoid errors when designing any system.
