Simple Internal Rules of Thumb

  • passives to rails should be vertical

    • i.e. i2c pullups

    )
  • signal passives should be vertical and other passives (horizontal.

    • i.e. shunt resistors

    ) should be horizontal.
    • higher potential on bottom, lower potential on bottom

  • schematics should follow a logical left to right flow as this is how humans are used to reading! \

    • input on the left, output on the right

  • higher electrical potential (voltage) rails should be above lower voltage rails

Why We do this

  • Standard

    • Makes reviews easier!

    • Improves human readability

  • We dont want to nitpick

    • If you have a reason for doing something slightly different it’s fine

    • there are a lot of edge cases these simple guidelines dont cover so do what’s best and call it a day
