## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 2mm of each power pin
- Pitfall : Power sequencing violations damaging the device
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's recommended power-up sequence (Core before I/O)
Signal Integrity Problems
- Pitfall : Improper termination causing signal reflections
- Solution : Use 100Ω differential termination at receiver inputs
- Pitfall : Excessive jitter due to poor clock quality
- Solution : Implement low-jitter clock sources with proper filtering
Thermal Management
- Pitfall : Inadequate thermal relief causing overheating
- Solution : Provide sufficient copper area and thermal vias for heat dissipation
### Compatibility Issues
Interface Compatibility
- Compatible : FPD-Link transmitters (DS90CF383/384 series)
- Limited Compatibility : Some FPGA LVDS interfaces may require additional conditioning
- Incompatible : Single-ended CMOS/TTL interfaces without level translation
Power Supply Requirements
- Core Voltage : 3.3V ±10% (2.97V to 3.63V)
- I/O Voltage : Must match host system interface levels
- Power Sequencing : Core power must stabilize before I/O power
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Differential Pair Routing
- Maintain consistent 100Ω differential impedance
- Keep trace lengths matched within ±5mm
- Route differential pairs on same layer when possible
- Minim
