Capacitor Bill of Materials Optimisation
the bill of materials for capacitors is 24 lines; it can probably be squashed to about 16 parts with some consideration
- Merge the values of 8.2pF vs 15pF vs 22pF vs 27pF ** these are xtal plating load capacitors ** consider unification of device types of Q1 - Q4
- Merge the two types of 22uF 0603 - the only difference is the voltage
- Merge 1206 47uF x 4 into 1206 22uF
- Merge 0603 47uF x 7 into 0603 22uF
- Merge 2917 470uF into 1210 220uF x 2
- Merge (or remove?) 1210 330uF into 1210 220uF (this capacitor could be to be redundant with C442)
also, avoid specifiying a precise component type, where any can be used, it will simplify procurement;
- make 1206 10uF generic instead of specific part #
- make 0201 100nF generic instead of specific part #
