## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient LED Drive Current
- Problem : Under-driving LED reduces CTR and reliability
- Solution : Maintain recommended 5-20mA forward current with proper current limiting
Pitfall 2: Poor Thermal Management
- Problem : Excessive junction temperature accelerates aging
- Solution : Implement adequate PCB copper pour and consider derating at high temperatures
Pitfall 3: Inadequate Bypassing
- Problem : Noise coupling through supply lines
- Solution : Use 0.1μF ceramic capacitors close to supply pins
Pitfall 4: Incorrect Biasing
- Problem : Output transistor not properly biased
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's recommended bias resistor values
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Ensure logic level compatibility (3.3V/5V)
- Consider Schmitt trigger inputs for noisy environments
- Verify output drive capability matches receiver requirements
Power Supply Considerations
- Isolated power supplies required for both sides
- Watch for ground loop issues in mixed-signal systems
- Consider power sequencing requirements
Mixed-Signal Systems
- Potential for noise coupling in analog sections
- Separate analog and digital grounds appropriately
- Use proper filtering on analog inputs
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Isolation Barrier Design
- Maintain minimum 8mm creepage distance across isolation barrier
- Use solder mask dams to prevent contamination
- Implement proper clearance distances per safety standards
Component Placement
- Place bypass capacitors within 5mm of device pins
- Keep high-speed digital traces away from optocoupler
- Position for optimal thermal dissipation
