## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Thermal Management Issues :
- Pitfall : Inadequate heat sinking leading to thermal runaway
- Solution : Implement proper heat sinking and ensure junction temperature remains below 150°C
- Calculation : Use θJA = 62.5°C/W for thermal planning
Current Handling :
- Pitfall : Exceeding maximum ratings during transient conditions
- Solution : Include current limiting circuits and derate for elevated temperatures
- Guideline : Derate current by 1.2% per °C above 25°C ambient
Stability Concerns :
- Pitfall : Oscillation in high-gain applications
- Solution : Use base-stopper resistors and proper decoupling
- Recommendation : 10-100Ω base resistor for stability
