## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Rejection
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate decoupling causing performance degradation
- *Solution*: Implement 10μF tantalum + 100nF ceramic capacitors within 10mm of supply pins
Reference Voltage Stability
- *Pitfall*: Using noisy reference sources affecting conversion accuracy
- *Solution*: Employ low-noise references (e.g., ADR4550) with proper bypassing
Digital Interface Issues
- *Pitfall*: SPI timing violations due to long trace lengths
- *Solution*: Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) and minimize clock trace length
### Compatibility Issues
Analog Front-End Compatibility
- Incompatible with rail-to-rail op-amps exceeding 5V supply
- Requires level translation when interfacing with 3.3V microcontrollers
- Limited compatibility with high-output impedance sensors (>10kΩ)
Digital Interface Compatibility
- SPI mode 0 and mode 3 supported
- 3.3V logic compatible with 5V supply
- May require level shifters for 1.8V systems
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
```markdown
- Use separate analog and digital ground planes
- Connect grounds at ADC ground pin only
- Implement star-point grounding for reference circuitry
```
Signal Routing
- Route analog inputs as differential pairs when possible
- Keep clock signals away from analog input traces
- Use guard rings around sensitive analog inputs
Component Placement
- Place decoupling capacitors closest to supply pins
