- *Solution*: Implement proper copper pour area (minimum 2cm² per amp)
- Use thermal vias under the package to transfer heat to inner layers
Stability Problems
- *Pitfall*: Output voltage oscillation due to improper compensation
- *Solution*: Follow manufacturer's compensation network guidelines
- Use frequency response analyzer for loop stability verification
EMI/EMC Compliance
- *Pitfall*: Excessive electromagnetic interference
- *Solution*: Implement proper input filtering with ceramic capacitors
- Use shielded inductors and maintain tight component placement
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Ensure PWM control signals meet minimum/maximum voltage requirements
- Verify timing compatibility with host processor's PWM peripheral
- Implement proper level shifting if required
Power Stage Components
- MOSFET selection must account for gate drive capability (2A peak)
- Inductor saturation current must exceed peak switch current by 20%
- Output capacitors must have low ESR for stable operation
Sensing and Feedback Circuits
- Voltage divider networks must use 1% tolerance resistors
- Current sense resistors should have low temperature coefficient
- Feedback traces must be kept away from noisy switching nodes
