## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing oscillation or noise
- Solution : Use 100nF ceramic capacitor close to VCC pin and 10μF tantalum capacitor nearby
Output Loading
- Pitfall : Excessive capacitive loading causing instability
- Solution : Maintain load capacitance below 100pF; use series resistor for longer cables
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Overheating in high-ambient temperature environments
- Solution : Ensure proper PCB copper pour for heat dissipation
### Compatibility Issues
Input Signal Compatibility
- Works with standard 1Vp-p composite video signals
- Requires DC restoration circuit for AC-coupled inputs
- Compatible with most video DAC outputs
Power Supply Considerations
- Sensitive to power supply noise above 10MHz
- Requires clean 5V supply with ripple < 50mV
- May require additional filtering in noisy environments
Output Interface
- Directly compatible with 75Ω coaxial cables
- Requires termination resistor at receiving end
- May need impedance matching for long cable runs
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Separate analog and digital ground planes
- Route power traces with adequate width (≥15mil)
Signal Routing
- Keep input and output traces short and direct
- Maintain 50Ω characteristic impedance where possible
- Avoid crossing digital and analog signals
Component Placement
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of IC
- Position feedback components close to amplifier
- Use ground vias near IC for better thermal performance
EMI Considerations
- Use ground shields for sensitive traces
- Implement proper filtering on input/output lines
- Consider using ferrite beads for high-frequency noise suppression
