Function of Component

This section is a short definition of what the component is used for within the subsystem and where it is located within the architecture.

Key Parameters

Explain all the parameters used in making a selection

• Parameter 1
  • Explanation of what this parameter means
  • Might include general information on what a good value tends to look like
  • Might include equations to explain how to find this parameter from other parameters
  • Might include a graph explaining how the parameter varies with other parameters
• Parameter 2
  • Same as above

Selection Criteria

List here all ranges of values you are considering for the parameters of the part you are selecting.

• Operating current between 1A and 5A
• Total power draw of less than 5W

Final Selection

Explain here the final selection, including a link to the part, it’s datasheet, and values for all parameters you discussed. Also include information on cost, quantity ordered, etc. Also include in writing all major reasons for which this part was selected over others.

The following part was selected: XYZ

• 12mA operating current
• 4dB P1dB

XYZ was selected because it had the lowest operating current. Although it has similar performance to ABC, it is more desirable because there are more items in-stock.
