TIP #100: Create a Board Release procedure
Why? You really want to be sure, that you have done all the necessary steps and you have generated all the documents.
TIP #099: Your product should be tested for ESD discharge
Why? If your product is ESD sensitive, you may be risking a lot of returns as ESD discharge is very common.
TIP #098: Don’t forget to place other mounting holes
Why? It may be very difficult to add mounting holes into already routed area.
TIP #097: During layout, consider to hide designators
Why? It makes PCB much easier to work with during layout.
TIP #096: Place SCH pins the easy to read and consistent way
Why? It helps to create easy to read and easy to understand schematics.
TIP #095: Place components before you start doing layout
Why? Sometimes it can be very difficult to add components into already routed areas.
TIP #094: Don’t use 4 wire cross junctions
Why? In some cases it is not clear if the signals are connected or if wires are just crossing.
TIP #093: Put big and small titles into your schematic
Why? It helps everyone read and understand your schematic very quickly.
TIP #092: Under a component with exposed pad (EP), ...
Why? It’s easy to connect them to GND and it keeps current loops small.
TIP #091: Mark components which you may not want to fit
Why? So you don’t forget about them until you are ready to create variants.
TIP #090: Crystals can be placed also on the opposite side
Why? Sometimes you may be very limited in space and it can be the only way to place the crystal. Tested on many boards, it works.
