## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient LED Drive Current
- Problem : Under-driving LED reduces CTR and reliability
- Solution : Maintain 10-20 mA forward current with proper current-limiting resistor
Pitfall 2: Poor Transistor Biasing
- Problem : Output transistor saturation affects switching speed
- Solution : Implement proper load resistor values (1-10 kΩ typical)
Pitfall 3: Inadequate Bypassing
- Problem : Noise coupling through supply lines
- Solution : Place 100 nF decoupling capacitor close to supply pins
### Compatibility Issues
Input Side Compatibility:
- Microcontrollers : Compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic families
- Driver Circuits : Requires current-limiting for LED protection
- Incompatible with : Direct connection to high-voltage sources (>1.5V forward voltage)
Output Side Compatibility:
- Digital Logic : Direct interface with TTL/CMOS logic families
- Power Stages : May require buffer amplification for high-current loads
- ADC Interfaces : Compatible with standard analog-to-digital converters
### PCB Layout Recommendations
General Layout Guidelines:
- Maintain minimum 8mm creepage distance between input and output sides
- Use guard rings around high-impedance nodes
- Implement proper grounding : Separate analog and digital grounds
Component Placement:
- Position CPH5703 close to isolation barrier
- Keep bypass capacitors within 5mm of device
- Route feedback traces away from noisy power lines
Routing Considerations:
- Use thick traces for LED current paths (>20 mil)
- Avoid parallel routing of input and output signals
- Implement via stitching around isolation boundary
