Pitfall 2: Thermal Management Neglect
- Issue : Premature failure due to excessive junction temperature
- Solution : Calculate power dissipation (Pd = V × I + switching losses) and ensure θJA provides adequate thermal margin
Pitfall 3: Improper Layout
- Issue : Signal integrity degradation and EMI issues
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance traces for high-frequency signals and implement proper ground planes
Pitfall 4: Overvoltage Stress
- Issue : Component damage during transient conditions
- Solution : Incorporate TVS diodes or transient voltage suppressors on input lines
