## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling :
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Place 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors within 5 mm of each VCC pin, with bulk 10 μF capacitors distributed across the board
Signal Integrity :
- Pitfall : Long, unmatched address/data lines causing timing violations
- Solution : Maintain trace lengths under 50 mm with controlled impedance (50-65 Ω)
- Implementation : Use series termination resistors (22-33 Ω) near driver outputs
Timing Constraints :
- Pitfall : Violating setup/hold times due to improper clock distribution
- Solution : Implement precise timing analysis considering propagation delays
- Verification : Use worst-case timing models for robust design
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Matching :
- Issue : 3.3V operation may require level shifting when interfacing with 1.8V or 5V components
- Resolution : Use bidirectional voltage level translators for mixed-voltage systems
Bus Loading :
- Issue : Excessive capacitive loading on shared buses degrading signal quality
- Resolution : Implement buffer ICs when connecting multiple memory devices
- Maximum Loading : Limit to 4 devices per bus segment without buffering
