## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Sequencing
- *Pitfall*: Improper power-up sequence causing latch-up
- *Solution*: Implement sequenced power rails with monitoring circuitry
- *Implementation*: Use power management IC with configurable sequencing
Clock Distribution
- *Pitfall*: Clock skew degrading timing margins
- *Solution*: Use balanced clock tree with proper termination
- *Implementation*: Implement zero-delay clock buffers with matched trace lengths
Signal Integrity
- *Pitfall*: Reflections on high-speed interfaces
- *Solution*: Proper impedance matching and termination
- *Implementation*: Use series termination resistors near driver outputs
### Compatibility Issues
Memory Interfaces
- DDR3/DDR4 compatibility requires careful timing analysis
- Maximum supported frequency: 1600MHz for DDR3, 2400MHz for DDR4
- Use manufacturer-provided memory controller IP for optimal performance
Voltage Level Translation
