## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues :
- *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 Problems :
- *Pitfall*: Long, unmatched address and data lines causing timing violations
- *Solution*: Maintain trace length matching within ±5 mm for critical signals
Timing Violations :
- *Pitfall*: Ignoring setup and hold times leading to data corruption
- *Solution*: Implement proper timing analysis using worst-case conditions
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces :
- Ensure controller I/O voltage levels match the 3.3V SRAM requirements
- Verify timing compatibility between controller memory cycles and SRAM specifications
Mixed-Signal Systems :
- Isolate analog and digital grounds to prevent noise coupling
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
Bus Contention :
- Implement proper bus arbitration when multiple devices share the data bus
- Use tri-state buffers with appropriate enable/disable timing
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of each VCC pin
- Implement star-point grounding for mixed-signal systems
Signal Routing :
- Route address and control signals as a matched-length bus
- Maintain 3W rule for critical signal separation
- Use 45-degree angles instead of 90-degree bends
Thermal Management :
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
