## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Improper Gap Alignment
- Problem : Misalignment between emitter and detector reduces signal strength
- Solution : Implement precise mechanical guides and alignment features
- Verification : Use oscilloscope to monitor output signal amplitude during assembly
Pitfall 2: Ambient Light Interference
- Problem : External light sources cause false triggering
- Solution : Incorporate optical shielding and use modulated LED drive
- Implementation : Add mechanical baffles and consider pulsed operation
Pitfall 3: Signal Degradation Over Distance
- Problem : Long cable runs introduce noise and signal loss
- Solution : Use shielded cables and implement signal conditioning close to sensor
- Circuit Design : Include low-pass filtering and Schmitt trigger inputs
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Voltage Level Matching : Ensure output voltage ranges match MCU input requirements
- Pull-up Resistors : May require external pull-ups for open-collector outputs
- Noise Immunity : Consider adding bypass capacitors and filtering circuits
Power Supply Considerations
- LED Drive Current : Requires precise current limiting (typically 16-20mA)
- Supply Decoupling : 100nF ceramic capacitor recommended near power pins
- Grounding : Use star grounding to minimize ground loop interference
Mechanical Integration
- Mounting Tolerance : ±0.1mm positioning accuracy required
- Thermal Expansion : Account for coefficient differences in mounting materials
- Vibration Resistance : Use anti-vibration mounts in high-shock environments
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Component Placement
- Position CPH3322 away from heat-generating components
