## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input Capacitor Selection
- Problem : Excessive input voltage ripple causing instability
- Solution : Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors (X5R/X7R) close to VIN and GND pins
- Recommended : 10μF + 1μF ceramic capacitors in parallel
Pitfall 2: Poor Layout Practices
- Problem : Switching noise coupling into sensitive analog circuits
- Solution : Keep switching nodes compact and away from sensitive traces
- Implementation : Use ground plane and proper component placement
Pitfall 3: Insufficient Thermal Management
- Problem : Thermal shutdown during high ambient temperature operation
- Solution : Provide adequate copper area for heat dissipation
- Guideline : Minimum 2cm² of copper pour connected to thermal pad
