## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues and false memory operations
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors for the power plane
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Long, unmatched trace lengths leading to timing violations
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance traces and equal length routing for address/data buses
Timing Margin
- Pitfall : Insufficient timing margin due to clock skew and propagation delays
- Solution : Perform worst-case timing analysis considering temperature, voltage, and process variations
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microprocessor Interface
- Compatible with most 3.3V microprocessors and microcontrollers
- May require level shifting when interfacing with 5V systems
- Check timing compatibility with specific processor bus cycles
Mixed-Signal Systems
- Ensure proper grounding separation between digital and analog sections
- Implement adequate filtering to prevent digital noise coupling into sensitive analog circuits
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and GND
- Implement star-point grounding for multiple devices
- Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to power pins
Signal Routing
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain 50Ω characteristic impedance for transmission lines
- Keep critical signals (CE#, OE#, WE#) away from noisy circuits
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias under the package for improved heat transfer
- Maintain minimum 2mm clearance from other heat-generating components
