USB Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Poor signal quality leading to communication errors
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance (90Ω differential) for USB D+ and D- lines
- Solution : Keep USB traces as short as possible (< 10 cm recommended)
Clock Stability
- Pitfall : Crystal oscillator instability causing USB timing violations
- Solution : Use high-quality 12 MHz crystal with proper load capacitors and layout
### Compatibility Issues
USB Host Compatibility
- Issue : Some host controllers may have timing sensitivity

- Testing : Validate with multiple host controller types (Intel, AMD, third-party)
Power Supply Requirements
- Issue : Inrush current during USB connection
- Resolution : Implement soft-start circuitry or current limiting
- Compatibility : Ensure compatibility with USB bus power specifications
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Implement separate ground planes for analog and digital circuits
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF) within 5mm of each power pin
USB Signal Routing
- Route USB differential pairs with consistent spacing
- Maintain 90Ω differential impedance
- Avoid vias in USB signal paths when possible
- Keep USB traces away from noisy digital signals and clock lines
Crystal Oscillator Layout
- Place crystal close to the device (within 10mm)
- Use ground guard rings around crystal circuitry
- Keep crystal traces short and symmetrical
General Layout Guidelines
- Separate analog and digital sections
- Provide adequate thermal relief
- Follow manufacturer's recommended
