## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage spikes and data corruption
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and bulk 10μF tantalum capacitor
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Long trace lengths causing signal degradation and timing violations
- Solution : Route address and data lines as matched-length traces with proper termination
Current Surge Management
- Pitfall : High inrush current during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Implement soft-start circuitry or current-limiting resistors
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Ensure timing compatibility with host processor access cycles
- Verify voltage level matching between 3.3V SRAM and 5V systems requires level shifters
- Check bus loading characteristics to avoid excessive capacitive load
Mixed-Signal Systems
- Isolate analog and digital grounds to prevent noise coupling
- Implement proper filtering on power supply lines
- Consider electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and GND
- Implement star-point grounding for multiple devices
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of device pins
Signal Routing
- Route critical signals (address, data, control) on adjacent layers
- Maintain consistent 50Ω impedance for high-speed traces
- Avoid 90-degree bends; use 45-degree angles or curves
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Ensure proper airflow in enclosed systems
- Consider thermal vias for heat transfer in multilayer boards
