## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Implement 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and bulk 10 μF tantalum capacitors
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Long trace lengths causing signal reflection and timing violations
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance traces (50-65 Ω) and implement proper termination
Timing Margin Violations
- Pitfall : Insufficient setup/hold time margins due to clock skew
- Solution : Perform comprehensive timing analysis and implement clock tree synthesis
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microprocessor Interface
- Compatible with most 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers
- Requires level shifting when interfacing with 3.3V logic families
- Address decoding logic must account for the full 19 address lines
Mixed-Signal Systems
- Sensitive to noise from switching power supplies
- Requires isolation from high-frequency clock generators
- Ground plane separation from analog components recommended
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and GND
- Implement star-point grounding for multiple devices
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of device pins
Signal Routing
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain minimum 3W spacing between critical signal traces
- Avoid vias in high-speed signal paths when possible
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
- Consider thermal vias under package for improved cooling
- Maintain minimum
