## 2. Design Considerations (35% of content)
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Insufficient Decoupling
- Problem : Unstable operation due to power supply noise
- Solution : Place 100nF ceramic capacitor within 10mm of each power pin, plus 10μF bulk capacitor per power rail
Pitfall 2: Reset Circuit Issues
- Problem : Unreliable startup or unexpected resets
- Solution : Implement proper RC reset circuit with time constant >100ms, consider dedicated reset IC for noisy environments
Pitfall 3: Clock Signal Integrity
- Problem : Timing errors from poor clock signal quality
- Solution : Keep crystal/capacitors close to MCU (≤20mm), use ground plane under oscillator circuit, avoid routing other signals near oscillator pins
Pitfall 4: I/O Loading Exceedance
- Problem : Output pins unable to drive connected loads
- Solution : Check datasheet sink/source specifications (typically 10-20mA per pin), use buffer ICs for higher current requirements
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility:
- 5V Systems : Native compatibility with standard TTL/CMOS levels
- 3.3V Systems : Requires level shifters
