## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate timing analysis leading to setup/hold violations
- Solution : Perform comprehensive static timing analysis using manufacturer tools
- Implementation : Use worst-case timing models and include 20% timing margin
Power Management
- Pitfall : Insufficient decoupling causing signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement multi-stage decoupling (0.1μF ceramic + 10μF tantalum per power pin)
- Implementation : Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Reflection and crosstalk in high-speed applications
- Solution : Implement proper termination and signal routing techniques
- Implementation : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) for clock signals
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility
