## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Place 0.1μF ceramic capacitor within 0.5cm of VCC pin, with bulk 10μF capacitor per board section
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on high-speed signals
- Solution : Implement series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on critical signal lines
- Pitfall : Crosstalk between parallel bus lines
- Solution : Maintain minimum 2x trace width spacing between adjacent signals
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Setup and hold time violations in registered mode
- Solution : Ensure clock signals meet minimum pulse width requirements (5ns typical)
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Translation
- Issue : Interface with 3.3V devices requires careful consideration
- Resolution : CD74AC646M96 accepts 3.3V inputs while maintaining 5V output capability
Mixed Logic Families
- Compatible : Direct interface with TTL, LSTTL, and other AC/ACT devices
- Incompatible : Requires level translation when interfacing with older 4000-series CMOS
Load Considerations
- Maximum fanout: 50 LSTTL loads
- Avoid exceeding maximum capacitive load of 50pF per output
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Route VCC and GND traces with minimum 20mil width
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
Signal Routing
- Keep bus lines parallel with equal length matching (±5mm tolerance)
- Route critical
