## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Closure Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate timing analysis leading to setup/hold violations
- Solution : Implement proper timing constraints and perform static timing analysis
- Recommendation : Use manufacturer's timing analysis tools and margin for clock skew
Power Management
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing power supply noise
- Solution : Implement comprehensive power distribution network with proper decoupling capacitors
- Recommendation : Follow manufacturer's power sequencing requirements
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Reflections and crosstalk on high-speed signals
- Solution : Proper termination and signal routing practices
- Recommendation : Use controlled impedance routing for critical signals
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility
- The 3.3V operation requires level translation when interfacing with 5V or 1.8V components
- Input thresholds may not be compatible with older 5V TTL logic without level shifters
Clock Domain Management
- Multiple clock domains require careful synchronization to prevent metastability
- Clock generation and distribution must consider jitter and skew requirements
Interface Standards
- Verify compatibility with industry standard interfaces (PCI, LVDS, etc.)
- Ensure proper termination and timing for high-speed interfaces
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes for VCCINT and VCCO
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF and 10
