## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Incorrect Load Capacitance
- Problem : Frequency deviation and instability due to mismatched load capacitors
- Solution : Calculate required load capacitance using: CL = (C1 × C2)/(C1 + C2) + Cstray
- Implementation : Use 15pF-22pF ceramic capacitors with ±5% tolerance
Pitfall 2: Poor PCB Layout
- Problem : EMI interference and signal integrity issues
- Solution : Keep resonator close to IC (≤10mm), use ground plane beneath component
- Implementation : Route clock signals as controlled impedance traces
Pitfall 3: Power Supply Noise
- Problem : Jitter and phase noise affecting timing accuracy
- Solution : Implement proper decoupling with 100nF and 10μF capacitors
- Implementation : Use separate LDO regulator for oscillator supply when possible
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interfaces
- Compatible with most CMOS/TTL logic families
- Requires proper drive strength matching (check microcontroller datasheet)
- May need series resistor for impedance matching (typically 22-100Ω)
Power Supply Requirements
- Operating voltage: 1.8V to 3.3V DC
- Supply ripple: <50mV peak-to-peak
- Current surge protection required during power cycling
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Component Placement
- Position EC25ND within 10mm of target IC
- Orient component parallel to PCB edge to minimize stress
- Maintain minimum 1mm clearance from other components
Routing Guidelines
- Keep clock traces short and direct (<25mm)
- Use 45° angles instead of 90° for trace bends
- Implement guard traces with via
