## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input Decoupling
- Problem : Output instability and excessive noise
- Solution : Place 10μF ceramic capacitor within 5mm of VIN pin, with 0.1μF high-frequency bypass
Pitfall 2: Improper Inductor Selection
- Problem : Reduced efficiency and potential saturation
- Solution : Use 4.7μH shielded power inductor with saturation current >600mA
Pitfall 3: Thermal Management Issues
- Problem : Premature thermal shutdown at high ambient temperatures
- Solution : Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation, consider forced air cooling in confined spaces
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Compatible with 1.8V, 3.3V logic levels
- May require level shifting for 5V systems
Sensor Integration
- Low-noise operation suitable for analog sensors
- Avoid sharing power rails with high-frequency digital circuits
Wireless Modules
- Stable during RF transmission bursts
- Additional filtering recommended for sensitive receivers
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout
```
1. Place input capacitors (CIN) adjacent to VIN and GND pins
2. Position inductor (L1) close to SW pin
3. Route output capacitor (COUT) directly to load
4. Use wide traces for high-current paths (>20 mil)
```
Signal Routing
- Keep feedback network away from switching node
- Use ground plane for noise immunity
- Separate analog and power grounds
Thermal Management
- Use thermal vias under exposed pad (if applicable)
- Minimum 1 oz copper weight for power layers
- Provide 2mm clearance from heat-sensitive components
