- Place decoupling capacitors (100μF electrolytic and 100nF ceramic) close to power pins
- Implement separate ground planes for analog and digital sections
Thermal Management:
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Use thermal vias under the package for improved heat transfer
- Maintain minimum 3mm clearance from heat-sensitive components
Signal Integrity:
- Keep deflection output traces short and direct
- Route sensitive oscillator components away from high-current paths
- Use ground shielding for critical timing components
Component Placement:
- Position timing capacitors close to oscillator pins
