## 2. Design Considerations (35%)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Sequencing
- Pitfall : Applying input signals before VCC reaches operational minimum
- Solution : Implement power-on reset circuit with minimum VCC monitoring
Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Uncontrolled rise/fall times causing excessive current spikes
- Solution : Add series termination resistors (22-100Ω) on fast-switching inputs
Radiation Effects
- Pitfall : Single Event Transients (SETs) in combinatorial logic paths
- Solution : Implement triple modular redundancy (TMR) for critical signals
### Compatibility Issues
Mixed Logic Families
- TTL Compatibility : Inputs compatible with TTL levels, but outputs may require pull-ups
- CMOS Interface : Direct compatibility with 54HC/54HCT series components
- Level Translation : Requires buffers when interfacing with 3.3V modern logic
Timing Constraints
- Clock Distribution : Maximum clock frequency limited to ~25 MHz
- Propagation Matching : Gate-to-gate delay variations up to 5 ns require timing margin
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes with multiple vias to each VCC/GND pin
- Implement 0.1 μF ceramic decoupling capacitors within 5 mm of each VCC pin
- Separate analog and digital ground planes with single-point connection
Signal Routing
- Route critical signals (clocks, resets) with controlled impedance (50-75Ω)
- Maintain minimum 3× trace width spacing between parallel signal traces
- Use guard rings around sensitive inputs in high-noise environments
Thermal Management
- Provide adequate copper pour for heat dissipation in high-temperature operation
- Consider thermal vias under package for improved heat transfer to inner layers
