## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Design
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing digital noise in analog sections
- Solution : Implement separate analog and digital power planes with proper isolation
- Pitfall : Power sequencing issues during startup
- Solution : Follow manufacturer-recommended power-up sequence (digital before analog)
Clock Management
- Pitfall : Clock jitter affecting video quality
- Solution : Use low-jitter clock sources and proper clock distribution
- Pitfall : Incorrect clock frequencies for target video standards
- Solution : Carefully program clock dividers and PLL settings
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Overheating in enclosed systems
- Solution : Implement adequate heatsinking and airflow
- Pitfall : Thermal vias not properly connected to ground plane
- Solution : Ensure thermal pad has multiple vias to internal ground plane
### Compatibility Issues
Digital Video Interfaces
- CCIR-656 Compatibility : Requires proper timing and synchronization
- SMPTE-125M Interface : Needs careful attention to timing parameters
- Memory Interface : Specific timing requirements for SDRAM components
System Integration
- Microprocessor Interface : Varies by host processor architecture
- Memory Subsystem : Requires compatible SDRAM with appropriate speed grade
- Analog Components : Careful selection of supporting analog circuitry
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use separate power planes for analog (AVDD) and digital (DVDD) supplies
- Implement star-point grounding at the device's ground pin
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF
