Typical Example list:
Microcontroller, Software,
OS needs.
Data sample rate?
Frequency response?
Integrate / discrete
components / hybrid
Warning: Don’t stop at
the board’s edge!
Remove the magic of Black
Boxes
Why? Neither you, your team
nor faculty can help with a
series of black boxes.
Step 1. Schematic Bullet List Plan
Circuit Board?
• test points –LEDs, JTag,
USB, RS232, (may not need
the form factor)
accessory power connectors
Power On switch(s), reset and
safety switches, function
select switch

STEP 2: INPUT OUTPUT DEVICE ADVICE
a: Interface Specifications
Bandwidth, frequency response; rf to dc
Data rate, Sample rate
Protocol: RS232, I2C, CAN, Bluetooth, Zigbee, ….
Analog versus digital (you should know by now)
• Need vs. Available: Resolution 8, 12, 16 bit
Circuit protection
Power/ Current
Voltage Levels: Vdd/Vcc, multiple? Level shifting needed?
Devices (Vdd vary from 1.5 VDC to 18 VDC)
Microprocessor I/O - GPIO output: Sink or source?
Microprocessor I/O - Analog; ADC, DAC
Data Controls: enables, select lines, etc.
EMI Noise
Heat
