## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Gate Drive Issues
- Pitfall: Insufficient gate drive current causing slow switching and excessive losses
- Solution: Use dedicated gate driver ICs capable of 1-2A peak current
- Pitfall: Excessive gate ringing due to poor layout
- Solution: Implement series gate resistors (2.2-10Ω) and minimize gate loop area
Thermal Management
- Pitfall: Inadequate heatsinking leading to thermal runaway
- Solution: Calculate thermal impedance and use appropriate heatsinks
- Pitfall: Poor PCB thermal design
- Solution: Use thermal vias under the package and adequate copper area
