## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input/Output Filtering
- Problem : Excessive noise and ripple affecting system performance
- Solution : Implement proper π-filters at input and output using low-ESR capacitors
Pitfall 2: Poor Thermal Management
- Problem : Overheating leading to reduced reliability and premature failure
- Solution : Ensure sufficient copper area on PCB (minimum 6cm² per side) and consider forced air cooling for high ambient temperatures
Pitfall 3: Incorrect Load Sharing
- Problem : Uneven current distribution when paralleling modules
- Solution : Use external OR-ing diodes and current balancing circuits; avoid direct paralleling without proper design
Pitfall 4: Input Voltage Transients
- Problem : Damage from voltage spikes and transients
- Solution : Implement TVS diodes and input transient suppressors for rugged applications
