Where Can I Find Good Sources of Design Documentation?

[Ian_Brooks]

Can someone direct me to good sources of existing design documentation? Hopefully in electronic/embedded design - I just need to use them as a guideline and see what standards I have to meet when tailoring my design report.

Thanks,

I'm not able to send you any of my stuff as examples (proprietary materials owned by the company I work for), but here is a list of some of the kinds of things that will go into product documentation, depending on the product of course:

** Functional Specification Document

** Theory of Operation Document

** Schematic, Bill of Materials, PCB Layout documentation

** CPLD/FPGA design documentation (source code, pin definition file, programming file, programming instructions document)

** Documentation of any custom or unique parts used in the design (like transformers, etc.)


let's see, what else?
