## 2. Design Considerations
### 2.1 Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
| Pitfall | Impact | Solution |
|---------|--------|----------|
| Inadequate Thermal Management | Component overheating leading to premature failure or thermal shutdown. | Use thermal vias under the package, ensure sufficient copper pour on PCB layers, and consider adding a heatsink for high ambient temperatures. |
| Improper Feedback Loop Compensation | Output voltage instability, oscillations, or slow transient response. | Follow manufacturer’s compensation network guidelines, use low-ESR capacitors, and simulate loop stability with tools like SPICE. |
| Insufficient Input/Output Decoupling | Increased output ripple voltage and susceptibility to input voltage transients. | Place ceramic capacitors (X7R or better) as close as possible to the component pins, with values per datasheet recommendations. |
