## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing noise and reduced accuracy
- Solution : Use 10 μF tantalum capacitor at power input and 100 nF ceramic capacitor placed close to VDD pin
Analog Input Protection
- Pitfall : Overvoltage conditions damaging the analog input
- Solution : Implement series resistor (100-1kΩ) and Schottky diode clamp to supply rails
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Self-heating affecting temperature sensor accuracy
- Solution : Ensure adequate spacing from heat-generating components and provide thermal relief
Clock Integrity
- Pitfall : Clock jitter degrading ADC performance
- Solution : Use clean clock source with proper termination and shielding
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interface
- Issue : SPI timing compatibility with different microcontroller families
- Resolution : Verify timing margins and consider adding series termination resistors
Voltage Reference
- Issue : Reference noise and drift affecting ADC accuracy
- Resolution : Use low-noise, low-drift references like ADR4525 or MAX6126
Mixed-Signal Grounding
- Issue : Digital noise coupling into analog signals
- Resolution : Implement star grounding and separate analog/digital ground planes
Sensor Interface
- Issue : High-impedance sensor loading affecting measurement accuracy
- Resolution : Use buffer amplifiers for high-impedance sources
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital supplies
