## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity problems
- Solution : Use 100nF ceramic capacitor close to VCC pin and 10μF bulk capacitor
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Long trace lengths causing signal reflections
- Solution : Keep trace lengths short (<10cm for clock signals)
- Pitfall : Improper termination for high-speed clock signals
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-100Ω) for clock lines
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations in synchronous systems
- Solution : Ensure minimum 10ns setup time and 5ns hold time
- Pitfall : Clock skew between multiple devices
- Solution : Use balanced clock distribution network
