1. Executive Summary
What board we're building and the intended outcome in one paragraph.
...
2. Goals and Non-Goals
What must be true in this rev, and what is explicitly out of scope.
...
2.1 Goals
...
2.2 Non-Goals
...
3. System Overview
High-level description of the system and how the board fits into it.
...
3.1 Block Diagram
A space for a simple block diagram (power + data paths).
...
4. Requirements
What the design must do (behaviorally and electrically), independent of implementation details.
...
4.1 Functional Requirements
...
4.2 Electrical Requirements
Power input, rails, currents, interfaces, sensing accuracy, etc.
...
4.3 Environmental and Reliability Requirements
Operating ranges, expected lifetime, handling constraints, safety/compliance.
...
5. Constraints
Hard limits that shape the design choices.
...
5.1 Mechanical Constraints
Size, mounting, connector access, enclosure interactions.
...
5.2 Power and Thermal Constraints
Power source limits, dissipation ceilings, heat-sensitive components.
...
5.3 Layout / Implementation Constraints
High-level layout rules (keepouts, grounding intent, routing classes), without detailed PCB guidance.
...
5.4 Cost and Sourcing Constraints
Target cost range, availability requirements, preferred vendors/alternates policy.
...
6. Assumptions and Dependencies
What we assume is true, and what the design depends on (parts, standards, external systems).
...
7. Validation Criteria
What “done” means in terms of checks and evidence (not task lists).
...
7.1 Acceptance Tests
...
7.2 Review Checklist
...
Appendix (Optional)
Any supporting urls, analysis, datasets, or taxonomy notes that informed this spec.
