## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing oscillation and noise
- Solution : Use 100nF ceramic capacitor close to each supply pin, plus 10μF electrolytic for bulk decoupling
Input Protection
- Pitfall : Input overvoltage damaging internal junctions
- Solution : Implement series resistors (1-10kΩ) and clamping diodes for inputs exposed to external connections
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Excessive power dissipation in high-gain configurations
- Solution : Calculate power dissipation (Pd = (V+ - V-) × Iq + (V+ - Vout) × Iout) and ensure adequate heatsinking
Stability Issues
- Pitfall : Phase margin degradation in capacitive load conditions
- Solution : Add series output resistor (10-100Ω) when driving capacitive loads >100pF
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Systems
- Ensure proper level shifting when interfacing with digital circuits
- Use series resistors to limit current when connecting to microcontroller GPIO pins
Power Management ICs
- Compatible with standard linear regulators (78xx/79xx series)
- May require additional filtering when used with switching regulators
Sensors
- Matches well with piezoelectric and electret microphone elements
- Requires current limiting when interfacing with photodiodes and other current-output sensors
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
