Pitfall 2: Grounding Issues
- Issue : Poor ground layout introducing measurement errors
- Solution : Implement star grounding and separate analog/digital grounds
Pitfall 3: Thermal Management
- Issue : Excessive power dissipation in small package
- Solution : Ensure adequate copper area for heat sinking, monitor junction temperature
Pitfall 4: Input Protection
- Issue : ESD and overvoltage damage to sensitive inputs
- Solution : Implement TVS diodes and current-limiting resistors
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
