## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input/Output Decoupling
- Problem : Insufficient decoupling causes voltage spikes and instability
- Solution : Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors (10μF + 100nF) placed close to VIN and VOUT pins
Pitfall 2: Improper Thermal Management
- Problem : Excessive junction temperature triggers thermal shutdown
- Solution : Implement adequate PCB copper pour (minimum 2oz) and consider heatsinking for high-current applications
Pitfall 3: Incorrect Compensation Network
- Problem : Poor transient response or oscillation
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's compensation guidelines and verify stability across load range
Pitfall 4: Grounding Issues
- Problem : Noise coupling through shared ground paths
- Solution : Use star grounding and separate analog/digital ground planes
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontrollers and Processors
- Ensure compatible voltage levels (3.3V/5V tolerance)
- Watchdog timer compatibility for fault conditions
- Proper sequencing during power-up/power-down
Sensors and Analog Circuits
- Consider noise injection from switching frequency
- Implement proper filtering for sensitive analog signals
- Maintain adequate separation from RF components
Memory and Communication ICs
- Verify voltage level compatibility
- Consider power sequencing requirements
- Address electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) concerns
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout
- Keep power traces short and wide (minimum 20 mil width per amp)
- Place input/output capacitors as close as possible to IC pins
- Use multiple vias for thermal relief and current carrying capacity
Signal Routing
- Route feedback paths away from switching nodes
- Keep compensation
