## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Mechanical Alignment Issues
- Pitfall : Improper gap alignment causing inconsistent detection
- Solution : Implement precision mounting fixtures with alignment guides
- Verification : Use alignment jigs during assembly and test with calibration objects
Electrical Noise Interference
- Pitfall : False triggering due to EMI/RFI in industrial environments
- Solution : Implement proper shielding and filtering on signal lines
- Implementation : Use twisted-pair cables and ferrite beads on I/O lines
Environmental Contamination
- Pitfall : Dust accumulation affecting optical transmission
- Solution : Design protective enclosures with appropriate IP ratings
- Maintenance : Include periodic cleaning access in mechanical design
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interface
- Voltage Level Matching : Ensure compatibility between CPH3107 output (typically 5V) and microcontroller input levels
- Pull-up Requirements : Most applications require external pull-up resistors (1-10kΩ) on output pins
- Current Limiting : Input LED requires current limiting resistor (typically 100-220Ω)
Power Supply Considerations
- Stable Supply : Requires clean, regulated power supply with <5% ripple
- Decoupling : Implement 100nF ceramic capacitors close to device pins
- Grounding : Use star grounding to minimize ground loop issues
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Component Placement
- Orientation : Align device perpendicular to expected object movement
- Clearance : Maintain minimum 2mm clearance from other
