Some Very General Rules:
- Always minimize circuit size
- Minimize the reactive component (L/C) count
- Minimize the number of new topologies created
- Design for modularity using sxcmp files
- Parameterize models. Spreadsheets in Module 5 help out here
- Use Multi-Level Modeling to implement the minimum circuit complexity for your simulation goal
- Use conditional instantiations to implement Multi-Level Modeling using sxcmp files
- Use built-in blocks whenever possible - these are optimized for speed
- Be very careful to consider the minimum time constant of your circuits
