1 SCHEMATIC CHECK.

⃞ Check with the high-level documentation if all the requirements are translated into design properly or
not.[1]
⃞ 90% of design is based on some reference design, all essence of the original design is
captured properly.[2]
⃞ The remaining 10% of the schematic is simulated or logically evaluated.[3]
⃞ Check the datasheet fine and app notes for all ICs.[4]
⃞ Pull-ups on all open collector/open drain outputs.[5]
⃞ Check mating connectors for the same pinout.[6]
⃞ Estimate the total current consumption.[6]
⃞ All no-connect pins on IC’s labelled NC.[7]
⃞ Unpopulated parts annotated and enclosed by the dashed-line box on schematics.[8]
⃞ Wires exist between all connected pins/ports (no direct pin/pin connections).[9]
⃞ Polarized components checked for connected polarity.[10]
⃞ Check pin numbers and pin type assignment of all custom-generated parts.[11]
⃞ Check for single nets.[12].
⃞ Check for multi-driven nets.[13]

Notes: -

⃞ Check for multi-driven nets.[13]

⃞ Mechanical artefacts e.g. a screw, heatsink etc. should be added in schematic and it should be
decided if they are connected to any net or isolated.[14]

pg. 1
⃞ Check all the specific instructions are noted down near each component/net that can be
utilized in layout e.g. High-frequency net, matched impedance net value, thermal requirement
etc. [15]
⃞ Adequate bypass cap for each IC.[16]
⃞ Electrolytic and tantalum capacitors checked for no reverse voltage.[17]
⃞ Sufficient capacitance on low dropout voltage regulators.[18]
⃞ Check for the ferrite bead/resistor current carrying capacity used in power line.[19]
⃞ Ensure that MLCC used are having at least twice the voltage rating than required.[20]
⃞ Ensure Tantalum/Electrolytic capacitors used are having at least 1.5 times rated voltage than
required.[21]
⃞ Ensure that high-frequency high power devices powered by a separate regulator with(/or)
adequate filtering.[22]

2 LAYOUT CHECK: -

⃞ Verify if every signal has a proper return path available. There should be no break in ground
signal.[23]
⃞ Foot print dimension check.[24]
⃞ Check hidden power and ground connections.[25]
⃞ No power or ground loop exists. [26]

pg. 2
⃞ All outside world I/O lines filtered for RFI.[27]
⃞ Separate analog signals from noisy or digital signals.[28]
⃞ Check maximum power dissipation at worst-case operating temperatures. find if heat-sink is
required.[29]
⃞ Automotive powered devices must withstand 60 to 100-volt surges.[30]

Note: Isolation is not always necessary for design, use engineering judgement to decide. Magnetic
isolation increases susceptibility.

3 BOM:
⃞ Each component has quantity, reference designator and description.[31]
⃞ Suggested and alternate manufacturer(s) listed.[32]
⃞ Price and availability checked for each component.[33]
⃞ Part is verified against schematic value and assigned footprint.[34]

4 TESTABILITY:
⃞ Ability to isolate/ off the power supply for a certain section of design to test.[35]
⃞ Diagnostic resources by design (LEDs, serial ports, etc.) even if unpopulated by
default.[36]
⃞ Test points on power and ground lines.[37]
⃞ The filename on each sheet.[38]
⃞ Special PCB or parts list information entered for each component if required.[39]
⃞ Power and ground pins listed for each component.[40]
⃞ Title block completed for each sheet.[41]
⃞ Schematic should also contain logos that are supposed to be printed on PCB.[42]

pg. 3
 ⃞ Text should not overlap wire or symbol graphics on schematics.[43]

5 SCHEMATIC VERIFICATION: -

5.1 PMIC

 Input capacitors used exactly as recommended in the data sheet ( GCM21BR71A106KE22L).

 Two 0-Ohm resistors connected to SDA & SDL (not used connection since to programming
needed).
