## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage fluctuations during read/write operations
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors close to VCC pins and 10μF bulk capacitor near the device
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Long, unmatched address/data lines causing signal reflection and timing violations
- Solution : Route critical signals (address, data, control) with controlled impedance and proper termination
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Insufficient setup/hold times leading to data corruption
- Solution : Carefully analyze timing diagrams and add appropriate wait states in controller firmware
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- 3.3V Systems : Direct compatibility with most 3.3V microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, PIC32)
- 5V Systems : Requires level shifters for address and control lines when interfacing with 5V logic
- Mixed-Signal Systems : Ensure proper grounding separation from analog components
Memory Expansion
- Bank Switching : Compatible with common memory banking schemes using external logic
- Daisy-Chaining : Supports multiple devices with proper chip select management
