  • Practical Electronics - Components and Techniques by J. M. Hughes, O'Reilly, 2015, ISBN 9781449373078, pp. 455-466
  • Appendix B: How to draw schematic diagrams, The Art of Electronics by Paul Horowitz, Winfield Hill, Cambridge University Press, 2015, ISBN 9780521809269

Schematics are documentation.

  • Signal flow from left-to-right
and also when it doesn't confuse the purpose of the drawing - inputs of parts on left / outputs on right
mixed i/o to go where it best indicates the function of the circuit
  • Supply rails in descending voltage from top-to-bottom - where it makes the diagram more readable.
  • Connectors & Ports - when possible, Inputs arriving from the left / Outbound pointing to the right... !
preferably in a similar layout/order if they arrive on another sheet that makes them easier to mentally associate.
same for connectors that appear on different or separate sheets.
