## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Design
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing processor resets during high computational loads
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 10mm of each power pin, plus 10μF bulk capacitors per power plane
Clock Distribution
- Pitfall : Clock jitter exceeding 200ps degrading ADC interface performance
- Solution : Use crystal oscillator with <50ps jitter and minimize trace length to CLKIN pin
Reset Circuitry
- Pitfall : Incomplete power-on reset causing unpredictable initialization
- Solution : Implement dedicated reset controller with 100ms minimum reset pulse width
### Compatibility Issues
Memory Interface
- SRAM Compatibility : Supports standard asynchronous SRAM with 35ns access time at 80MHz
- Flash Memory : Requires wait-state configuration for flash programming and boot operations
- Mixed Voltage Systems : 3.3V I/O may require level shifters when interfacing with 5V components
Analog Interface
- ADC Compatibility : Direct interface with 16-bit ADCs having parallel output (AD7674, AD9764 series)
- DAC Interface
