In this quick and informative PCB design review, Tech Consultant Zach Peterson examines an STM32 board that has a staggering 280 rule violations. Zach uncovers that the root cause is simply not updating the default design rules - a common mistake with an easy fix!

He also shares valuable insights about resistor placement on feedback lines, proper STM32 power supply design, and when a two-layer board is sufficient for STM32 projects.

Zach reviews important details including silk screen clearance issues, via tenting recommendations, and corrects a DNP (Do Not Populate) notation error. Whether you're designing your first STM32 board or looking to improve your existing designs, this concise review highlights essential considerations to ensure your next PCB design passes manufacturing requirements.
