So this question is say you have a totally new circuit you have been tasked to do. Or even more broadly a circuit function. What is your process for getting the latest in state of the art whether it be competitor datasheets, IEEE articles, etc?

Lets say you were given specifications for an ADC function you needed to meet. What would be your starting points to pick an architecture and what kind of inputs would help you arrive at a selection? I know this is a broad question but seeing how others approach the problem
 
One, presumably, already possess some knowledge and experience before starting a specific design. A person doesn't sit down in the cockpit and say "okay, how do I learn how to fly a jet?".

Other than that, your question reads like "How do you think?"

Different engineers will come up with different solutions to a specific design. That's the "art" of engineering.
 
Disagree - lets say you never designed a Flash ADC. Maybe you designed lots of other ADC topologies. What do you do to figure out what is possible, newer techniques etc

For me I look at datasheets using Flash architectures and then go to say 5 or 6 relevant IEEE papers on the topic. I'm asking approaches like this, maybe someone has something to add that is interesting
