- Problem : Poor efficiency or instability due to incorrect inductor values
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's recommended inductor specifications, considering saturation current and DC resistance
Pitfall 3: Insufficient Input/Output Capacitance
- Problem : Voltage ripple exceeding specifications
- Solution : Use recommended capacitor types and values, place capacitors close to IC pins
Pitfall 4: Incorrect Layout Practices
- Problem : EMI issues and switching noise interference
- Solution : Implement star grounding, keep switching loops small, use proper decoupling
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Interfaces
