Pitfall 2: Input Voltage Transients
- Problem : Unprotected input lines causing device failure during voltage spikes
- Solution : Incorporate TVS diodes and input capacitors close to VIN pin
Pitfall 3: EMI/RFI Interference
- Problem : Radiated emissions exceeding regulatory limits
- Solution : Use shielded inductors, proper grounding, and follow recommended layout practices
Pitfall 4: Stability Issues
- Problem : Output oscillations due to improper compensation
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's compensation network guidelines and verify with Bode plot analysis
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interfaces :
- Ensure logic level compatibility (3.3V/5V) with enable and feedback signals
- Verify PWM signal requirements for control applications
Power Stage Components :
- MOSFET selection must account for gate drive characteristics
- Inductor saturation current should exceed maximum load current by 20-30%
Sensing Circuits :
