## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Noise :
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing PLL jitter and data errors
- Solution : Use multiple 0.1μF ceramic capacitors close to power pins, plus bulk capacitance
Signal Integrity Issues :
- Pitfall : Improper termination leading to signal reflections
- Solution : Implement 100Ω differential termination at receiver inputs
- Pitfall : Excessive trace length mismatches causing timing skew
- Solution : Maintain matched trace lengths within ±5mm for differential pairs
Clock Management :
- Pitfall : Unstable reference clock causing synchronization failures
- Solution : Use low-jitter clock source with proper termination
