## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls & Solutions
| Pitfall | Solution |
|---------|----------|
| Oscillation due to capacitive loads | Use isolation resistors (e.g., 10–100 Ω) in series with output. |
| DC offset errors | Implement trimpots or software calibration for nulling offset voltage. |
| Thermal drift | Use temperature-compensated feedback networks or select lower-drift external components. |
### Compatibility Issues
- Sensor Interfaces : Compatible with most piezoelectric and resistive sensors. Avoid direct coupling to inductive loads without protection diodes.
- ADC Drivers : Matched impedance required for SAR ADCs; add RC filters to suppress aliasing.
- Power Sequencing : Ensure symmetrical power supply ramp-up/down to prevent latch-up.
### PCB Layout Recommendations
1. Decoupling : Place 100 nF ceramic and 10 μF tantalum capacitors within 5 mm of supply pins.
2. Grounding : Use a single-point ground for analog and digital sections to minimize noise coupling.
3. Signal Routing : Keep high-impedance inputs away from clock lines or switching regulators.
4. Thermal Management : Include thermal vias for heat dissipation in high-ambient-temperature environments.
