## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Thermal Management :
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate heat dissipation in high-temperature environments
- *Solution*: Implement thermal vias and heatsinking; maintain junction temperature below 150°C
Power Supply Sequencing :
- *Pitfall*: Improper power-up sequencing causing latch-up conditions
- *Solution*: Implement controlled power sequencing with 1ms minimum delay between rails
ESD Protection :
- *Pitfall*: Insufficient ESD protection during handling and installation
- *Solution*: Follow MIL-STD-1686 handling procedures; use appropriate ESD safeguards
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Matching :
- Interface voltage levels may not be directly compatible with commercial components
- Requires level-shifting circuits when interfacing with 3.3V commercial devices
Timing Constraints :
- Propagation delays are typically 15-20% longer than commercial equivalents
- Critical timing paths require additional margin analysis
Test Equipment Compatibility :
- Standard commercial test equipment may not provide required temperature testing capabilities
- Requires MIL-STD-883 compliant test systems
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital supplies
- Implement star-point grounding at the component's ground pin
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins (100nF ceramic + 10μF tantalum)
Signal Integrity :
- Maintain controlled impedance for high-speed signals (50Ω single-ended, 100Ω differential)
- Route critical analog signals away from digital switching noise sources
- Implement guard rings around sensitive analog inputs
Thermal Management :
- Use thermal relief patterns for power dissipation
- Provide adequate copper area for heat spreading (minimum 2oz copper recommended)
- Consider thermal interface materials for high-power applications
