## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Power Supply Noise
- Issue : Supply ripple directly affects output accuracy
- Solution : Implement proper decoupling (10 μF tantalum + 0.1 μF ceramic close to V+ pin)
Pitfall 2: Ground Loop Errors
- Issue : Poor grounding causes measurement errors
- Solution : Use star grounding and separate analog/digital grounds
Pitfall 3: Self-Heating Effects
- Issue : Power dissipation raises chip temperature
- Solution : Limit supply current and ensure adequate thermal relief
Pitfall 4: ESD Damage
- Issue : Sensor susceptible to electrostatic discharge
- Solution : Implement ESD protection diodes on signal lines
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
ADC Interface Considerations
- Ensure ADC input range matches sensor output (0.25V to 4.75V typical)
- Match impedance levels to prevent loading effects
- Consider adding RC filter for noise reduction
Microcontroller Integration
- Verify voltage level compatibility
- Implement proper sampling rates (typically 10-100 samples/second)
- Include software temperature compensation if needed
Power Supply Requirements
- Compatible with 3.3V and 5V systems
- Requires clean, regulated supply with <100 mV ripple
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Component Placement
- Place decoupling capacitors within 10 mm of V+ pin
- Locate sensor away from heat-generating components
- Maintain minimum 5 mm clearance from board edges
Routing Guidelines
- Use separate analog and digital ground planes
- Route output signal as differential pair if noise is concern
- Keep high-speed digital traces away from sensor output
Thermal Management
- Use thermal vias for heat dissipation if board temperature varies significantly
- Avoid placing near power regulators or processors
- Consider thermal isolation techniques for precision applications
EMC Considerations
- Implement proper shielding in noisy
