break down the design process into three
fundamental steps:
STEP 1 – System Design
STEP 2 – Schematic Circuit Design
STEP 3 – PCB Layout Design
When developing a new circuit design the first step is the
high-level system design (preliminary design).
Before getting into full schematic circuit design first focus
on the big picture of the full system.
Designing the system consists mainly of two steps:
Creating a block diagram
Design power:
The microcontroller can be powered with a supply voltage from
2.0 to 3.6V.
Or you’ll need an on-board regulator to provide the appropriate
supply voltage.
You have to know the absolute maximum current: some designs
require 120mA, other 100mA, and so on .
The final step of designing the schematic circuit
diagram is to perform a verification step called an
Electrical Rules Check (ERC).
