Some of the critiques you gave on schematics from ST are very relatable to me! It boggles me how some of the worlds biggest companies could produce schematics at this level of quality and clarity.
-
Very much support Phil's comment around showing calcs for analogue electronics values - makes a peer review much easier, and helps later on when revisiting the project
-
Thank you for your videos, as an EE student they provide some really great practical tips that I rarely hear at school !
-
Neat list of what to concentrate on, one of the reasons I love Altium is the fact it has all of this built in, I use KICAD at home and half of the stuff isn't in there, but it's fine for the price! I can't afford Altium for home use, but I use Altium for work and it does make things a lot simpler. Thanks for the video.

I've been doing schematic capture and layout for a few years now, and some of your organizational tips are absolutely brilliant. This is going to make my life a lot easier, thank you!
-
You videos are one fo the best for begginers. I've been sharing it to people starting out Altium adn PCB designing. As always, amazing explaination. Can't wait for the PCB design tips.
-
Thank you very much, Phils. I always find what I have forgotten in your Videos. Thank you from the bottom heart. 🖐🖐🖐
-
Thank you very much. I am learning every day something new and helpful from you. Vielen Dank!

Great video for a beginner like me. I come from a software / operating systems background (undergrad degree was in CE) so I've always been a bit peeved at my lack of hardware knowledge in my undergrad. I learned some basic circuitry stuff but creating a schematic, a PCB, soldering, we were never taught those things and I aim on fixing that.

Happily I see I'm not the only one to work in this way. Somebody made me feel guilty to be down at this level of clarity saying "less is enough. Don't waste yor time". Thank you for this video.
-
Very informative video, as always, thanks for your videos!
-
Top-notch quality content. Thank you.
-
Any possibility of touching on ports vs. nets, I don't see them that often in your videos so just wondering if you ever use them.
-
As you mentioned at 7:02 that every text must be Horizontal, is there a way to rotate the values & parameters of components horizontally altogether?
-
Dot in 4-way connection can disappear when schematic is scaled down. Printed schematic in paper after n-photocopy can dissolve dot connection as well, so it is safe not to use that type of connection.
-
Bro, you literally work at Xilinx?? Yea, imma need to sub. Good lookin out homie, this channel is so dope!
-
This is the well awaited video, from I hope a series about audio analysis! The APx555 is using AK5394A for the hi-res ADC and the AD7760 for the hi-speed ADC and is achieving around -125dB of THD+N. I can't remember of top of my head what front end is used in my DscopeIII, but the results are around -118dB of THD+N. Please keep sharing this project as it's particularly of interest to me.

Thank you, very helpful!

Your timing is impeccable

Thanks for the fantastic tips, Phil. Just now entering industry as a recent grad and realizing how little I know. Hoping to leverage your knowledge and supporting you in some way like patreon soon.
