## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input/Output Filtering
- Problem : Excessive noise and ripple due to insufficient filtering
- Solution : Implement proper π-filters with low-ESR capacitors (10-100μF electrolytic + 0.1μF ceramic)
Pitfall 2: Thermal Overstress
- Problem : Overheating and premature failure at maximum load
- Solution : Ensure adequate airflow, consider derating to 80% of maximum power above 70°C ambient
Pitfall 3: Load Transient Response
- Problem : Output voltage overshoot/undershoot during rapid load changes
- Solution : Add bulk output capacitance (47-100μF) and consider load sequencing for sensitive applications
Pitfall 4: EMI Compliance Issues
- Problem : Failing electromagnetic compatibility tests
- Solution : Implement proper shielding, use ferrite beads, and follow recommended layout practices
