First analog SMD PCB design review — honest feedback before fabrication

First analog SMD PCB design review — honest feedback before fabrication

Hi everyone,

I’m an electronics engineering student working on one of my first serious analog SMD PCB designs using LM324 stages for signal conditioning and output protection.

Before sending it for fabrication, I’d love honest feedback on:

  • Component placement
  • Analog routing
  • Grounding
  • Feedback loop layout
  • Decoupling capacitor placement
  • Any beginner mistakes or noise/stability issues

I’m still learning analog PCB design, so brutal technical feedback is welcome. I want to improve my understanding of current return paths, grounding, and proper op-amp layout practices.

Designed in EasyEDA.
Thanks!
