## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Thermal Management Issues
- Problem : Inadequate heat dissipation causing thermal shutdown
- Solution : Implement proper copper pour area (minimum 100mm²), use thermal vias, consider heatsinking for high ambient temperatures
Pitfall 2: Input/Output Capacitor Selection
- Problem : Instability due to improper capacitor ESR values
- Solution : Use ceramic capacitors with X5R or X7R dielectric (10μF minimum on input, 22μF on output)
Pitfall 3: Layout-Induced Noise
- Problem : Switching noise coupling into sensitive analog circuits
- Solution : Maintain physical separation from analog signals, use ground planes, implement proper decoupling
Pitfall 4: Load Transient Response
- Problem : Excessive output voltage overshoot/undershoot
- Solution : Optimize compensation network, ensure adequate output capacitance
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Components:
- Compatible with most 3.3V and 5V logic families
- May require level shifting for 1.8V systems
- Ensure proper sequencing with power-on reset circuits
Analog Components:
- Maintain adequate separation from high-impedance analog circuits
- Consider additional filtering for noise-sensitive applications
- Verify compatibility with ADC/DAC reference requirements
Wireless Modules:
- Provide clean power for RF sections
- Implement additional LC filtering for sensitive radio circuits
- Ensure minimal voltage ripple during transmission bursts
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Path Routing:
- Use wide traces for input/output connections (minimum 40 mil width for 3A current)
- Keep input capacitor close to VIN and GND pins (<5mm distance)
- Minimize loop area in high-current paths
Grounding Strategy:
- Implement solid ground plane
- Use
