## 2. Design Considerations (35% of content)
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient Decoupling
- Problem : Unstable operation due to power supply noise
- Solution : Place 100nF ceramic capacitor within 10mm of each power pin, plus 10μF bulk capacitor per power rail
Pitfall 2: Reset Circuit Issues
- Problem : Intermittent resets or failure to initialize
- Solution : Implement proper RC reset circuit with time constant >100ms, include Schmitt trigger for noise immunity
Pitfall 3: Clock Signal Integrity
- Problem : Timing errors and communication failures
- Solution : Keep crystal/crystal oscillator close to microcontroller (≤25mm), use ground plane beneath oscillator circuit
Pitfall 4: I/O Loading Exceedance
- Problem : Port damage from excessive current draw
- Solution : Buffer high-current loads (LEDs, relays) with transistors or driver ICs; respect absolute maximum ratings
### 2.2 Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Memory Interface Compatibility:
- SRAM/EEPROM : Use appropriate timing delays when interfacing with slower memory devices
- Flash Memory : Verify voltage level compatibility (5V vs 3.3V); may require level shifters
Communication Protocol Issues:
- UART : Ensure baud rate accuracy within ±2% tolerance for reliable communication
- SPI/I²C : Match voltage levels with peripheral devices; add pull-up resistors for I²C (typically 4.7kΩ)
Power Supply Considerations:
- Mixed Voltage Systems : When interfacing with
