## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Oscillation with Capacitive Loads
- Problem : Direct connection to capacitive loads >100 pF can cause instability
- Solution : Implement series isolation resistor (10-100Ω) between output and capacitive load
Pitfall 2: Power Supply Bypassing
- Problem : Inadequate decoupling leads to poor high-frequency performance
- Solution : Use 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors placed within 5 mm of supply pins, with additional 10 μF bulk capacitors
Pitfall 3: Input Overvoltage Protection
- Problem : Exceeding absolute maximum input voltage specifications
- Solution : Implement series current-limiting resistors and clamping diodes to supply rails
Pitfall 4: Thermal Management
- Problem : Excessive power dissipation in high-output current applications
- Solution : Calculate power dissipation and ensure proper heat sinking if PD > 500 mW
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
ADC Interface Considerations:
- Matching : Ensure amplifier settling time meets ADC acquisition time requirements
