## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Signal Integrity Issues:
- Pitfall : Ringing and overshoot on high-speed signals
- Solution : Implement series termination resistors (22-33Ω) close to switch outputs
- Pitfall : Crosstalk between adjacent channels
- Solution : Maintain adequate spacing and use ground planes between critical signals
Power Management:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing voltage droop during switching
- Solution : Place 100nF ceramic capacitors within 5mm of VCC pins
- Pitfall : Simultaneous switching noise
- Solution : Use bulk capacitance (10μF) near power entry points
Thermal Considerations:
- Pitfall : Excessive power dissipation in high-frequency applications
- Solution : Monitor junction temperature and consider heat sinking for continuous high-current operation
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- Compatible with 3.3V, 2.5V, and 1.8V logic families
- Requires level shifters when interfacing with 5V TTL components
- Ensure VCC matches the highest voltage in mixed-voltage systems
Timing Constraints:
- May introduce additional propagation delay in critical timing paths
- Consider switch delay when designing synchronous systems
- Verify setup/hold time margins with downstream components
Load Considerations:
- Maximum capacitive load: 50pF per channel
- Drive strength may be insufficient for heavily loaded buses
- Use buffer amplifiers when driving multiple loads
