## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Thermal Management
- Problem : Junction temperature exceeds 150°C during continuous operation
- Solution : Implement proper heatsinking using thermal vias and copper pours
- Implementation : Minimum 2oz copper thickness with thermal relief patterns
Pitfall 2: EMI Compliance Issues
- Problem : Radiated emissions exceed automotive standards
- Solution : Use recommended filter components and proper grounding
- Implementation : Place 100nF ceramic capacitors close to power pins
Pitfall 3: Motor Back-EMF Damage
- Problem : Voltage spikes during motor braking damage internal circuitry
- Solution : Implement freewheeling diodes and snubber circuits
- Implementation : Schottky diodes rated for maximum motor current
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interface :
- Compatible : 3.3V/5V CMOS logic levels
- Incompatible : 1.8V logic without level shifting
- Recommendation : Use 10kΩ pull-up/pull-down resistors for input stability
Power Supply Requirements :
- Stable Operation : 10-16V input range with <100mV ripple
- Critical : Bulk capacitance ≥100μF near power pins
- Avoid : Unregulated switching supplies without proper filtering
Motor Types :
- Optimal : Brushed DC motors up to 3A continuous
- Marginal : High-inductance motors requiring fast current decay
- Unsuitable : Brushless DC or stepper motors
