## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling leading to signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and 10μF bulk capacitor per device
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Failure to meet setup and hold times causing data corruption
- Solution : Carefully analyze timing diagrams and implement proper clock distribution
Signal Integrity:
- Pitfall : Long, unterminated traces causing signal reflections
- Solution : Use controlled impedance traces and series termination where necessary
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- 3.3V Systems : Direct compatibility with 3.3V microcontrollers and FPGAs
- 5V Systems : Requires level shifters for address and control lines
- Mixed Voltage Systems : Ensure proper voltage translation for I/O interfaces
Timing Compatibility:
- Microcontroller Interface : Verify processor wait state requirements match SRAM access times
- FPGA Integration : Ensure timing constraints are properly defined in synthesis tools
- Bus Arbitration : Implement proper bus contention prevention in multi-master systems
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and GND
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of each power pin
Signal Routing:
- Address/Data Lines : Route as
