7 habits of highly efficient PCB Designers
Design habits that expedite design completion, improve design quality, and enhance productivity are instrumental to highly efficient PCB design.
Every step taken during the printed circuit board (PCB) design process is taken purposefully. PCBs are essentially complex puzzles where the designer takes a specified list of components and a schematic diagram, typically with multiple sets of rules and constraints, then, following industry standards, guidelines, and best practices, places and connects them precisely for fabrication.
This paper describes seven habits that highly efficient PCB designers take as they study, prepare, visualize, strategize, and complete PCB designs.
