## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Stability Issues
- Pitfall : Oscillation with capacitive loads >100pF
- Solution : Use series isolation resistor (10-100Ω) at output
- Alternative : Implement feedforward compensation for specific applications
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing performance degradation
- Solution : Use 0.1μF ceramic + 10μF tantalum capacitors per supply pin
- Placement : Locate within 5mm of device pins
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Excessive junction temperature in high ambient conditions
- Solution : Ensure adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation
- Monitoring : Calculate power dissipation: Pd = (Vs+ - Vs-) × Iq + (Vs+ - Vout) × Iload
### Compatibility Issues
With ADCs/DACs
- Interface directly with 12-16 bit converters
- Ensure output swing matches ADC input range
- Consider adding RC filter for anti-aliasing
With Digital Components
- Maintain adequate separation from digital circuitry
- Use separate ground planes with single-point connection
- Implement proper shielding for sensitive analog signals
Power Supply Compatibility
- Compatible with standard ±12V and ±15V industrial supplies
- Requires clean, well-regulated power sources
- Monitor supply sequencing to prevent latch-up
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Component Placement
- Place decoupling capacitors immediately adjacent to supply pins
- Position feedback components close to amplifier pins
- Maintain symmetry in differential configurations
Routing Guidelines
- Use short, direct traces for high-impedance nodes
- Implement ground plane for improved noise performance
- Route sensitive signals away
