## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Oscillation Issues
- Problem : Unwanted oscillation due to capacitive loading
- Solution : Add series isolation resistor (10-100Ω) at output, ensure proper decoupling
Power Supply Rejection
- Problem : Poor PSRR affecting precision measurements
- Solution : Implement star grounding, use separate analog and digital grounds, add bulk capacitors
Thermal Management
- Problem : Performance drift in high-temperature environments
- Solution : Maintain adequate airflow, avoid placing near heat sources, use thermal vias
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Interfaces
- ADC Compatibility : Direct interface with most SAR ADCs up to 16-bit resolution
- Microcontroller I/O : 5V-tolerant inputs when operating at 3.3V supply
- Mixed-Signal Systems : Requires careful separation from digital switching noise
Passive Components
- Feedback Networks : Use 1% tolerance resistors for precision applications
- Decoupling Capacitors : 0.1μF ceramic close to supply pins, plus 1-10μF bulk capacitance
- Filter Components : Low-ESR capacitors and stable resistors for accurate filter responses
