- Solution : Implement proper power sequencing and use multiple decoupling capacitors (100nF + 10μF)
Clock Configuration Errors
- Pitfall : Incorrect clock settings leading to timing inaccuracies
- Solution : Use internal precision oscillator calibration and external crystals for critical timing
EMI/EMC Problems
- Pitfall : Poor layout causing electromagnetic interference
- Solution : Implement proper grounding and shielding techniques
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Mismatches
- Issue : 3.3V I/O interfacing with 5V components
- Resolution : Use level shifters or select compatible 3.3V peripherals
Timing Synchronization
- Issue : Clock domain conflicts with external devices
- Resolution : Implement proper synchronization logic and use PLL features
Communication Protocol Conflicts
- Issue : Bus contention in multi-master systems
- Resolution : Implement proper arbitration and error handling
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use star topology for power distribution
- Implement separate analog and digital ground planes
- Place decoupling capacitors close to power pins (≤5mm)
Signal Integrity
- Route high-speed signals (USB, clock) with controlled impedance
- Keep analog traces short and away from digital noise sources
- Use ground planes beneath sensitive analog circuits
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper area for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias for heat transfer to inner layers
- Maintain proper clearance for airflow in enclosed designs
