Well begun is half done
Today’s engineers are fortunate in the number and variety of development tools and components that are available for them to choose between. However, this profusion of options can be a challenge in itself.
Some useful tips when making new designs:
- Keep it simple! Try to focus on the problem you want to solve and don't add many fancy functions.
- If you are designing for a specific market, have the specific requirements for that market in mind from the beginning.
- Have the supply chain for key components in mind and go with well-known brands. Avoid use of components marked with “not for new design” by the manufacturers.
- Always try to get as many manufactures, for a given component, approved in your design as possible.
This will contribute to an easier compliance with approvals and lead to a shortened design lifecycle and faster speed to market.
