## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient Input/Output Decoupling
- Symptom : Output voltage ripple exceeding specifications
- Solution : Install 10μF ceramic capacitor at input and 22μF at output
- Verification : Measure ripple with oscilloscope (<50mV pk-pk)
Pitfall 2: Thermal Overstress
- Symptom : Premature failure or output voltage droop
- Solution : Maintain ambient temperature below 70°C with adequate spacing
- Verification : Monitor case temperature during full-load operation
Pitfall 3: Load Transient Response
- Symptom : Output overshoot/undershoot during load changes
- Solution : Add bulk capacitance (47-100μF) for dynamic loads
- Verification : Test with load steps from 10% to 90% of maximum
