Ladies and Gentlemen, I have a question that is off topic for this list. However, as we all = work at companies ranging from medium tech to very high tech, this = seemed a good source for a non-scientific poll. For your "typical" projects, how many circuit board revisions does it = take to go from the block diagram stage to full production release? I know that in the perfect world, everyone would answer "One board, my = first prototype is always perfect." But we've probably all seen the = project where we're sent off to design a left-handed widget and = eventually deliver the flux capacitor that they really wanted - but only = after a large number of revisions and redesigns because they couldn't = figure out how to ask for what they wanted. What I'm interested in is = not the extreme revision numbers, but the typical number of revisions = for typical projects. And please do include all revisions for DFM, DFT, = EMC/EMI related modifications. Thanks for your responses.
