## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near each VCC pin and bulk 10μF tantalum capacitors at power entry points
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on address/data lines due to impedance mismatch
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on high-speed signals and controlled impedance PCB traces
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations at higher operating frequencies
- Solution : Perform comprehensive timing analysis and incorporate margin for temperature and voltage variations
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Compatible with most 8-bit and 16-bit microcontrollers featuring external memory interfaces
- Potential timing mismatches with ultra-low-power MCUs; verify timing specifications
- 3.3V logic level compatibility eliminates need for level shifters in modern systems
Mixed-Signal Systems
- Sensitive to noise from switching power supplies and digital circuits
- Maintain minimum 50mil separation from noisy components and use ground planes
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power and ground planes for clean power delivery
- Route VCC traces with minimum 20mil width for current carrying capacity
- Place decoupling capacitors within
