- Solution : Calculate power dissipation and implement heat sinking if necessary
- Monitoring : Include thermal protection circuits for critical applications
Ground Loop Problems
- Problem : Noise injection through ground loops in mixed-signal systems
- Solution : Implement star grounding and separate analog/digital grounds
- Isolation : Use proper decoupling and ground plane segmentation
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Digital Interface Compatibility
