## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
#### Pitfall 1: Inadequate Input/Output Filtering
Problem : Insufficient filtering causes EMI issues and output instability
Solution :
- Install 10μF ceramic capacitor at input and output pins
- Use low-ESR capacitors for optimal performance
- Maintain capacitor placement within 10mm of module pins
#### Pitfall 2: Thermal Management Issues
Problem : Overheating reduces reliability and lifespan
Solution :
- Ensure adequate airflow around the module
- Avoid placing near heat-generating components
- Consider derating at elevated ambient temperatures
#### Pitfall 3: Incorrect Load Conditions
Problem : Exceeding maximum power rating causes shutdown or damage
Solution :
- Calculate maximum load current: 1W/15V ≈ 67mA
- Implement current limiting for dynamic loads
- Monitor temperature during operation
