## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
| Pitfall | Root Cause | Solution |
|---------|------------|----------|
| Oscillation/Instability | Insufficient phase margin, poor PCB layout | • Add 10-100 pF compensation capacitor between output and inverting input
• Ensure power supply bypassing (0.1 μF ceramic + 10 μF tantalum per supply pin)
• Minimize stray capacitance at high-impedance nodes |
| DC Offset Errors | Input bias current mismatches, thermal gradients | • Use matched resistor networks in feedback paths
• Implement chopper-stabilized configuration for DC-critical applications
• Maintain symmetrical PCB layout for input stage |
| Thermal Drift | Package power dissipation, ambient temperature variations | • Derate power dissipation by 30% above 85°C
• Use thermal vias under package for heat sinking
• Consider SOIC-8 package (θJA = 160°C/W) over smaller packages for high-power applications |
| EMI Susceptibility | High-impedance inputs acting as antennas | • Implement RFI filters (100 Ω + 100 pF) at inputs
• Use guard rings around sensitive traces
• Employ shielded cables for off-board connections |
