Electronic Component Selection Guide

The component selection is the most important and crucial part for the designer in the product development cycle. Process of Component selection: Parameter of Component Selection There are various parameters to be considered for component selection. The parameters to be considered for component selection can be broadly classified as technical parameters and non-technical parameters. The selection process is many a time, a fine balancing act between the technical and non-technical aspects. Technical Parameters Functionality : The first and foremost question to be asked by the designer is whether the component under consideration meets all the functions desired by the application. An example could be whether a certain power supply IC meets the voltage and current requirements of the application. DC Electrical Characteristics : The most important DC Electrical Characteristic of the device to be considered is the supply voltage(s) at which the device operates. In systems wi...
