## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors for the power supply
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Long, unterminated address and data lines causing signal reflections
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on critical signals and maintain controlled impedance routing
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Failure to meet setup and hold times due to clock skew or propagation delays
- Solution : Perform detailed timing analysis and implement proper clock distribution networks
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces:
- Compatible with most 3.3V microcontrollers (ARM Cortex-M, PIC32, etc.)
- May require level shifting when interfacing with 5V systems
- Ensure proper wait-state configuration for processors running faster than the SRAM access time
Mixed-Signal Systems:
- Susceptible to noise from switching power supplies and digital circuits
- Maintain adequate separation from analog components and noisy digital circuits
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to VCC pins
- Implement star-point grounding for mixed-signal systems
Signal Routing:
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups to minimize skew
- Keep critical
