## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Closure Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate timing analysis leading to setup/hold violations
- Solution : Implement comprehensive static timing analysis and use timing constraints
Power Management
- Pitfall : Insufficient decoupling causing power supply noise
- Solution : Implement proper power distribution network with adequate decoupling capacitors
I/O Configuration
- Pitfall : Incorrect I/O standard configuration causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Carefully match I/O standards to connected devices and transmission line characteristics
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Compatibility
- 3.3V I/O standards must be considered when interfacing with 5V or lower voltage devices
- Mixed-voltage systems require level shifters or careful I/O bank configuration
Clock Distribution
- External clock sources must meet jitter and stability requirements
- Clock tree synthesis should consider skew management
Signal Integrity
- Simultaneous switching output (SSO) effects must be analyzed
- Proper termination required for high-speed signals
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use multiple decoupling capacitors (0.1μF, 0.01μF, 10μF) in close proximity
- Implement separate power planes for core and I/O supplies
- Ensure adequate via stitching for ground return paths
Signal Routing
- Critical signals should be routed with controlled impedance
- Maintain consistent trace spacing to minimize crosstalk
- Implement differential pairs for high-speed interfaces
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper area for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias
