Pitfall 2: Improper Thermal Management
- Problem: Thermal runaway in high-density layouts
- Solution: Implement adequate copper pours and thermal vias for heat dissipation
Pitfall 3: Signal Integrity Issues
- Problem: Crosstalk between adjacent resistor elements in high-frequency applications
- Solution: Use ground shielding between critical signal paths
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces:
