## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
#### Pitfall 1: Improper Decoupling
Issue : Insufficient power supply decoupling causing oscillation and reduced PSRR
Solution :
- Use 0.1 μF ceramic capacitor within 5 mm of each power pin
- Add 10 μF tantalum capacitor at power entry point
- Implement star grounding for analog and digital sections
#### Pitfall 2: Input Protection Overdesign
Issue : Excessive protection circuitry degrading noise performance
Solution :
- Limit series resistance to <100 Ω when using input protection diodes
- Use low-leakage protection diodes (≤1 nA)
- Maintain symmetrical input impedance for optimal CMRR
#### Pitfall 3: Thermal Management Neglect
Issue : Junction temperature exceeding rated limits in high-ambient environments
Solution :
- Calculate power dissipation: PD = (VS+ - VS-) × IS + (VO × IO)
- Ensure adequate copper area for heat sinking (≥100 mm² per amplifier)
- Consider thermal vias for multilayer boards
### 2.2 Compatibility Issues with Other Components
#### Digital Interfaces
- ADC Compatibility : Matches well with 12-16 bit SAR ADCs; requires anti-aliasing filter for Σ-Δ converters
- Digital Isolation : Use capacitive or magnetic isolators; avoid optocouplers due to radiation sensitivity
- Clock Synchronization
