## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Stability
- *Pitfall*: Voltage drops during write operations causing data corruption
- *Solution*: Implement local decoupling capacitors (100nF ceramic + 10μF tantalum) near VCC pin
Signal Integrity Issues
- *Pitfall*: Long trace lengths causing signal degradation at maximum clock frequency
- *Solution*: Keep clock and data traces under 10cm, use series termination resistors (22-33Ω)
Timing Violations
- *Pitfall*: Insufficient setup/hold times leading to read/write errors
- *Solution*: Adhere strictly to datasheet timing specifications, add small delays in firmware
ESD Protection
- *Pitfall*: Electrostatic discharge damaging sensitive memory cells
- *Solution*: Incorporate
