NAVIGATING THE PROCESS OF COMPONENT SELECTION IN ELECTRONICS DESIGN
André Alcalde
CELUS, Germany
Abstract: In modern electronics design, selecting the right components has become almost an art. Engineers must evaluate increasingly complex semiconductors and navigate a landscape filled with technical trade-offs to identify the optimal solution for their designs. This task is made even more challenging by the way information is presented by component manufacturers, often lacking clarity or consistency.
Beyond the technical aspects, non-technical factors have also taken center stage. Recent global events have highlighted how supply chain disruptions can severely impact a company’s ability to deliver electronic products to market.
In this presentation, I will guide you through the current component selection process, explore the key challenges engineers face, and discuss the critical considerations for building a reliable and robust bill of materials (BOM) for high-volume manufacturing.
