## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Place 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 5mm of each VCC pin, plus bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors
Signal Integrity:
- Pitfall : Long, unterminated traces causing signal reflections
- Solution : Implement proper termination (series or parallel) for clock and control signals
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Ignoring setup and hold times leading to data corruption
- Solution : Carefully analyze timing diagrams and account for PCB trace delays
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- Ensure compatible I/O voltage levels when interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers
- Use level shifters when connecting to 5V or 1.8V systems
Timing Compatibility:
- Verify that controller access times match SRAM specifications
- Consider adding wait states if controller is faster than SRAM access time
Bus Loading:
- Avoid excessive fanout when multiple devices share the same bus
- Use bus buffers for systems with multiple memory devices
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use solid power and ground planes
- Route VCC and GND traces with minimum inductance
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
Signal Routing:
- Keep address and data lines of equal length (±5mm tolerance)
- Route critical signals (CE#, OE#, WE#) with controlled impedance
- Maintain
