## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage spikes and data corruption
- Solution : Implement multiple 0.1μF ceramic capacitors near power pins, plus bulk capacitance (10-47μF) for the entire power plane
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Long, unmatched trace lengths causing timing violations
- Solution : Maintain equal trace lengths for address and data buses, use proper termination
Thermal Management:
- Pitfall : Overheating in high-temperature environments
- Solution : Ensure adequate airflow and consider thermal vias under BGA package
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- Compatible with 3.3V logic families
- May require level shifters when interfacing with 5V or lower voltage systems
- Ensure I/O voltage levels match with connected processors or controllers
Timing Constraints:
- Verify setup and hold times with host processor
- Consider clock skew in synchronous systems
- Account for propagation delays in critical timing paths
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
Signal Routing:
- Route address and data buses as matched-length groups
- Maintain 3W rule for critical signal spacing
- Use 45-degree angles instead of 90-degree bends
- Keep clock signals away from data and address lines
BGA Package Considerations:
- Use via-in-pad technology for optimal routing
- Implement proper solder mask defined pads
- Ensure adequate clearance for rework and inspection
