## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 5mm of each VCC pin, plus bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors per power rail
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on address/data lines due to improper termination
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on critical signal paths
- Pitfall : Cross-talk between parallel traces
- Solution : Maintain minimum 2x trace width spacing between adjacent signals
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations at higher operating frequencies
- Solution : Perform detailed timing analysis considering PCB propagation delays
- Pitfall : Clock skew affecting synchronous operation
- Solution : Implement matched-length routing for clock and control signals
### Compatibility Issues
