## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage spikes and memory errors
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and 10μF bulk capacitor for the power supply
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Long trace lengths causing signal degradation and timing violations
- Solution : Keep address and data lines shorter than 3 inches with proper termination
Timing Margin:
- Pitfall : Insufficient setup and hold times leading to data corruption
- Solution : Add timing margin analysis and consider worst-case timing scenarios
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interface:
- Ensure compatible voltage levels (2.2V-3.6V) with host microcontroller
- Verify timing compatibility, particularly for read/write cycle times
- Check for proper chip select and output enable signal timing
Mixed-Signal Systems:
- Isolate analog and digital grounds to prevent noise coupling
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Implement proper filtering for power supply lines
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use star-point grounding for optimal noise performance
- Implement separate power planes for VCC and GND
- Place decoupling capacitors within 0.5 inches of each VCC pin
Signal Routing:
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain 3W rule (trace spacing ≥ 3× trace width) for critical signals
- Avoid 90-degree bends; use 45-degree angles instead
Thermal Management:
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Ensure proper ventilation around the component
- Consider thermal vias for improved heat transfer
