Power Supply Concerns
- Pitfall : Improper decoupling causing signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement proper power distribution network with adequate decoupling capacitors
- Implementation : Place 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 0.5cm of each power pin
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Reflections and crosstalk in high-speed applications
- Solution : Implement proper termination and signal routing practices
- Implementation : Use series termination resistors for critical signals
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Translation
- Issue : Mixed 3.3V/5V system interfacing
- Solution : Utilize 5V-tolerant I/O capability with proper current limiting
- Consideration : Ensure input thresholds meet system requirements
Clock Distribution
- Issue : Clock skew in synchronous designs
- Solution : Use dedicated clock pins and balanced clock tree
- Consideration : Account for clock-to-output delays in system timing
Hot Insertion Concerns
