## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Gate Drive Issues
- *Pitfall*: Insufficient gate drive current causing slow switching and increased losses
- *Solution*: Use dedicated gate driver ICs capable of 2A peak current
- *Pitfall*: Gate oscillation due to layout parasitics
- *Solution*: Implement gate resistors (2.2-10Ω) close to MOSFET gate
Thermal Management
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate heatsinking leading to thermal runaway
- *Solution*: Calculate thermal impedance and provide sufficient copper area
- *Pitfall*: Poor thermal interface material application
- *Solution*: Use proper thermal pads or grease with correct mounting pressure
Protection Circuitry
- *Pitfall*: Missing overcurrent protection
- *Solution*: Implement current sensing with desaturation detection
- *Pitfall*: Voltage spikes from inductive loads
- *Solution*: Use snubber circuits and TVS diodes
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Gate Drivers
