## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Closure Issues
- *Problem*: Failure to meet timing requirements in high-speed designs
- *Solution*: Implement proper timing constraints and utilize the device's global clock resources effectively
Power Supply Noise
- *Problem*: Digital noise affecting analog components in mixed-signal systems
- *Solution*: Implement separate power planes and use decoupling capacitors (0.1μF ceramic + 10μF tantalum) near each power pin
I/O Configuration Errors
- *Problem*: Incorrect pin assignments leading to signal integrity issues
- *Solution*: Carefully review I/O banking requirements and voltage compatibility
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Matching
- The device operates at 3.3V core voltage with 3.3V/2.5V/1.8V selectable I/O banks
- Direct 5V TTL compatibility requires level shifters
- Mixed-voltage designs must respect I/O bank voltage boundaries
Clock Distribution
- Limited global clock resources (4 dedicated global clocks)
- Careful planning required for multi-clock domain designs
- External clock buffers recommended for complex clocking schemes
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use separate power planes for VCCINT (core) and VCCO (I/O)
- Implement star-point grounding near the device
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of each power pin
Signal Integrity
- Route critical signals (clocks, enables) with controlled impedance
- Maintain consistent trace spacing (≥2× trace width)
- Use ground guards for sensitive input signals
Thermal Management
- Ensure adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias for high-density designs
- Maximum junction temperature: 125°C
