- Solution : Place 100 nF ceramic capacitor within 1 cm of VCC pin
- Pitfall : Voltage spikes exceeding absolute maximum ratings
- Solution : Implement transient voltage suppression diodes
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Uncontrolled rise/fall times causing signal reflections
- Solution : Add series termination resistors (22-100Ω) for long traces
- Pitfall : Crosstalk between adjacent signal lines
- Solution : Maintain minimum 2x trace width spacing between signals
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Ignoring propagation delays in critical timing paths
- Solution : Calculate worst-case timing margins with temperature variations
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations in synchronous systems
- Solution : Add buffer delays or use clock distribution networks
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
