## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Timing Closure Challenges
- Pitfall : Failure to meet setup/hold times due to clock skew
- Solution : Implement balanced clock tree with controlled impedance routing
- Implementation : Use length-matched clock traces with termination at SRAM end
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on high-speed address/data lines
- Solution : Implement series termination resistors (22-33Ω typical)
- Verification : Perform IBIS simulations to optimize termination values
Power Distribution Problems
- Pitfall : Voltage droop during simultaneous switching outputs (SSO)
- Solution : Use dedicated power planes with adequate decoupling
- Implementation : Place 0.1μF and 0.01μF
