## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Current Rating Assessment
- Problem : Designers often overlook peak current requirements
- Solution : Always design for 150% of maximum expected current
- Implementation : Use worst-case scenario analysis including startup surges
Pitfall 2: Thermal Management Neglect
- Problem : Insufficient copper area for heat dissipation
- Solution : Implement thermal vias and adequate copper pours
- Implementation : Minimum 2oz copper thickness in power paths
Pitfall 3: Resonance Issues
- Problem : Unwanted resonance with parasitic capacitances
- Solution : Proper capacitor selection and placement
- Implementation : Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors in parallel configurations
### Compatibility Issues
Semiconductor Compatibility
- Switching MOSFETs : Compatible with most modern power MOSFETs and GaN FETs
- Controller ICs : Works well with industry-standard PWM controllers
- Incompatibility Notes : Avoid use with very low frequency (<100kHz) controllers
Capacitor Selection
- Recommended : X7R/X5R ceramic capacitors for high-frequency decoupling
- Avoid : Electrolytic capacitors in high-frequency switching paths
- Optimal Pairing : 10μF ceramic + 100μF polymer capacitor combination
Magnetic Interference
