## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate timing analysis leading to setup/hold violations
- Solution : Use manufacturer timing models and perform worst-case analysis
- Pitfall : Ignoring clock-to-output delays in synchronous designs
- Solution : Account for tCO (7.5ns max) in system timing budgets
Power Management
- Pitfall : Insufficient decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors at each power pin
- Pitfall : Overlooking power-on reset requirements
- Solution : Ensure VCC rise time < 100ms and implement proper reset circuitry
Programming and Configuration
