## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage drops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Use 0.1μF ceramic capacitors placed within 10mm of each VCC pin, plus bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Long, unmatched address/data lines causing signal reflections
- Solution : Implement proper termination (series or parallel) and maintain controlled impedance
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Ignoring setup and hold times leading to data corruption
- Solution : Carefully analyze timing diagrams and add wait states if necessary
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interface:
- Verify voltage level compatibility (2.2V-3.6V operation)
- Ensure proper timing alignment with host processor
- Check bus loading capabilities
Mixed-Signal Systems:
- Isolate analog and digital grounds properly
- Implement adequate filtering for power supply noise
- Consider signal integrity in mixed-voltage systems
Memory Expansion:
- Bank selection logic must account for chip enable timing
- Address decoding must prevent bus contention
- Power sequencing requirements must be met
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and GND
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Ensure low-impedance power delivery paths
Signal Routing:
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain 3W rule for critical signal spacing
- Avoid crossing split planes with high-speed signals
