## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Oscillation Issues
*Pitfall*: Unwanted oscillation due to capacitive loading or improper compensation
*Solution*:
- Add series output resistor (10-100Ω) when driving capacitive loads >100pF
- Implement proper power supply decoupling with 0.1μF ceramic capacitors close to supply pins
- Use compensation capacitor (2-10pF) across feedback resistor for unity gain stability
Input Protection
*Pitfall*: Input overvoltage damage in industrial environments
*Solution*:
- Implement Schottky diode clamps to supply rails with current-limiting resistors
- Use TVS diodes for ESD protection on input lines
- Add series resistors (1-10kΩ) before inputs to limit fault currents
