## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing false parity errors
- Solution : Implement 100nF ceramic capacitors within 10mm of VCC and GND pins
- Pitfall : Voltage spikes exceeding absolute maximum ratings
- Solution : Use transient voltage suppression diodes on power lines
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Long trace lengths causing signal degradation
- Solution : Keep input signals under 15cm, use termination resistors for longer runs
- Pitfall : Crosstalk between parallel data lines
- Solution : Maintain minimum 2x trace width spacing between critical signals
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations during high-frequency operation
- Solution : Implement proper clock distribution and signal synchronization
- Pitfall : Metastability in asynchronous systems
- Solution : Use dual-rank synchronization for clock domain crossing
### Compatibility Issues
Logic Level Compatibility
- TTL Interfaces : Direct compatibility with 5V TTL systems
- 3.3V Systems : Requires level shifting for proper operation
- Mixed Voltage : Use series resistors for interfacing with lower voltage components
Load Considerations
