## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Distribution Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors at every power pin, plus bulk 10μF capacitors per power rail
Clock Distribution Problems
- Pitfall : Clock skew affecting synchronous design performance
- Solution : Use dedicated global clock pins and balanced clock tree routing
I/O Banking Confusion
- Pitfall : Mixing incompatible I/O standards within the same bank
- Solution : Group I/O by voltage standard and carefully plan bank assignments
Reset Strategy Deficiencies
- Pitfall : Asynchronous reset causing metastability issues
- Solution : Implement synchronous reset with proper synchronization for external reset signals
