## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droops during simultaneous switching
- Solution : Use multiple 0.1μF ceramic capacitors placed close to VDD pins, plus bulk capacitance (10-100μF) for the power plane
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on address/data lines
- Solution : Implement series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on high-speed signals
- Pitfall : Crosstalk between parallel traces
- Solution : Maintain 3W spacing rule between critical signal traces
Timing Violations:
- Pitfall : Setup/hold time violations due to clock skew
- Solution : Use matched length routing for clock and control signals
- Pitfall : Access time violations at temperature extremes
- Solution : Perform worst-case timing analysis across temperature range
### Compatibility Issues
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- 3.3V operation may require level shifting when interfacing with 1.8V or 2.5V devices
- TTL-compatible inputs but outputs are 3.3V CMOS levels
Interface Timing:
- Asynchronous operation may require synchronization when interfacing with synchronous systems
- Multiple chip enables (CE1, CE2) must be properly managed in multi-device systems
Bus Contention:
- Tri-state outputs require careful timing to avoid bus contention during read/write transitions
- Output enable (OE) must be deasserted before write operations
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use dedicated power and ground planes
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of VDD pins
- Implement star-point grounding for
