## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Implement multiple 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors near power pins, plus bulk capacitance (10-100 μF) for the entire memory array
Signal Integrity:
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on high-speed signals
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on address and control lines
- Implementation : Place termination close to driver outputs to minimize reflections
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Setup and hold time violations at maximum operating frequency
- Solution : Carefully calculate timing margins considering clock skew and propagation delays
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- The 3.3V I/O requires level translation when interfacing with 5V or 1.8V systems
- Use bidirectional voltage translators for mixed-voltage systems
Interface Timing:
- Ensure controller can meet SRAM timing requirements, particularly tAA (address access time) and tOE (output enable time)
- Verify clock-to-output delays match SRAM specifications
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and ground
- Implement multiple vias for power connections to reduce inductance
- Separate analog and digital ground planes with single-point connection
Signal Routing:
- Address/Data Buses : Route as matched-length groups to maintain timing relationships
- Control Signals : Keep critical signals (CE#, OE#, WE#) short and direct
- Clock Signals : Implement controlled impedance routing with
