## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate decoupling causing oscillation and noise
- *Solution*: Use 0.1μF ceramic capacitor close to each power pin + 10μF bulk capacitor
Thermal Management
- *Pitfall*: Overheating in multi-channel operation
- *Solution*: Provide adequate PCB copper area for heat dissipation, consider thermal vias
Input Signal Conditioning
- *Pitfall*: DC offset causing signal clipping
- *Solution*: Implement proper AC coupling with 75Ω termination
### Compatibility Issues
Input Signal Compatibility
- Compatible with standard 1Vp-p composite video
- Requires AC coupling for DC-coupled sources
- Maximum input voltage: 2Vp-p
Output Load Considerations
- Optimized for 75Ω coaxial cable loads
- Can drive two 75Ω loads in parallel (37.5Ω equivalent)
- Not suitable for high capacitive loads (>100pF) without compensation
Digital Interface Compatibility
- Requires level shifting for direct connection to digital video sources
- Compatible with DAC outputs from video processors
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
```markdown
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Implement star grounding at power supply entry point
```
Signal Routing
- Keep input and output traces short and direct
- Maintain 75Ω characteristic impedance for video traces
- Separate input and
