## 2. Design Considerations (Approximately 35% of Content)
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing ground bounce and signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitor within 10mm of each VCC pin, with bulk capacitance (10μF) for every 5-10 ICs
Signal Integrity Problems:
- Pitfall : Excessive trace length causing signal reflection and timing violations
- Solution : Keep trace lengths under 150mm for signals above 25MHz, implement proper termination for longer runs
Simultaneous Switching Noise:
- Pitfall : Multiple outputs switching simultaneously causing ground bounce
- Solution : Distribute outputs across the package, use separate VCC and GND
