## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient Input/Output Capacitance
- Problem : Excessive output ripple and poor transient response
- Solution : Use minimum 22μF ceramic capacitors on input and output, placed close to IC pins
Pitfall 2: Improper Inductor Selection
- Problem : Reduced efficiency or instability at light/heavy loads
- Solution : Select inductor with saturation current >125% of maximum load current and DCR <50mΩ
Pitfall 3: Thermal Management Issues
- Problem : Premature thermal shutdown in high ambient temperatures
- Solution : Ensure adequate copper pour for heat dissipation, consider thermal vias for multilayer boards
Pitfall 4: Feedback Network Errors
- Problem : Incorrect output voltage or oscillation
- Solution : Use 1% tolerance resistors in feedback divider, keep traces short and away from noise sources
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
