## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
*Pitfall*: Inadequate decoupling causing voltage spikes and erratic behavior
*Solution*: Implement 100nF ceramic capacitor placed within 5mm of power pins, plus 10μF bulk capacitor
Signal Integrity Issues
*Pitfall*: Signal degradation due to improper impedance matching
*Solution*: Maintain controlled impedance traces (50Ω single-ended, 100Ω differential)
Thermal Management
*Pitfall*: Overheating during sustained high-current operation
*Solution*: Use thermal vias under package, ensure adequate copper pour for heat dissipation
ESD Protection
*Pitfall*: Insufficient ESD protection leading to component failure
*Solution*: Implement TVS diodes on all external interfaces, proper grounding techniques
