Mitch - Do you run any simulations on your design before fabbing boards ? As a rule, I run a lot of spice simulations on the analog, particularly the power supplies. My second clock had a subtle wiring error that caused spice not to converge, and if I had not fixed the error it would have smoked at power-on. So far, I've done 3 boards with no errors; the boards were right the first time. The spice deck is partially created from the PCB netlister.
For digital stuff, I do verilog simulations, and I do have to spend a lot of time coding-up models for various ICs. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "neonixie-l" group.
