## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing ground bounce and signal integrity issues
- Solution : Place 100nF ceramic capacitor within 5mm of VCC pin, with 1μF bulk capacitor per power domain
Unused Input Handling
- Pitfall : Floating inputs causing unpredictable output states and increased power consumption
- Solution : Tie unused inputs to VCC or GND through appropriate pull-up/pull-down resistors (10kΩ typical)
Simultaneous Switching
- Pitfall : Multiple outputs switching simultaneously causing ground bounce
- Solution : Implement staggered switching or additional decoupling for multiple gates
Signal Termination
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot in high-speed applications
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-47Ω) for traces longer than 5cm
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
