For a good circuit, a good circuit design is the prerequisite. A good circuit 
created is the critical part of the task. A good circuit offers the foundation 
for good operation of the circuit. It enhances the life of the circuit. A good 
circuit contains minimum components and caters to the needs of its 
application. A good circuit is capable enough to offer self protection 
against hazards.
In early days of development, designing used to be done on a piece of 
paper or fabrication used to be done directly on a dotted PCB with real 
time designing. At least, this is how amateurs used to do it. Today, the 
designers have the aid of software CAD for better and neat designing. 
This article discusses things to take care of while designing circuits.
A good circuit is the result of simple things that you need to keep in mind 
while designing them.
Here are the points:
The first thing that has to be kept in mind is the application or the motive 
of the circuit designing. It decides all other factors that rule the designing 
process.
The voltage is a major thing to be considered while designing a circuit. 
The application decides it all. The voltage ratings are dependent on the 
output requirements (power and voltage).
Every component on the circuit is rated by its voltage, current and thermal 
ratings, etc. Hence, it should be ensured to adhere to the ratings of the 
components. Otherwise, the components can get damaged, which makes 
the circuit fail to function.
Proper designing and placement of components should be decided beforehand 
using a good PCB designing software if possible.
Minimal number of wires should be used and as far as possible, they should be 
avoided. Minimum track lengths should be used. This ensures minimum power 
loss.
All the grounds of the circuit must be shorted. You can use a common ground 
node for the purpose.
Fuses, diodes and voltage regulators should be used for protecting circuits.
Wherever undue heating is happening, a heat sink should be installed.
After fabrication, the circuit should be checked for unwanted shorting. Unwanted 
shorting can lead to improper functioning and damage to the circuit.
