## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Signal Integrity Degradation
- Issue : High-frequency signal attenuation due to switch capacitance (7.5 pC typical)
- Solution : Use proper termination and limit signal bandwidth to <100 MHz for critical applications
Pitfall 2: Power Supply Sequencing
- Issue : Damage from input signals exceeding supply rails during power-up/power-down
- Solution : Implement proper power sequencing or use external protection diodes
Pitfall 3: Ground Bounce
- Issue : Switching noise affecting adjacent sensitive circuits
- Solution : Use dedicated ground planes and decoupling capacitors close to power pins
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Mixed Voltage Systems:
- Ensure control signals (IN, S) are within the operating voltage range
- Use level shifters when interfacing with different logic families
ADC Interface Considerations:
- Match switch on-resistance with ADC input impedance to minimize voltage drop
- Consider charge injection effects on high-impedance ADC inputs
Power Supply Compatibility:
- Verify that all connected components can operate within the 1.65V to 5.5V range
- Ensure power supply ripple meets the 100 mV maximum requirement
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Place 100 nF decoupling capacitor within 2 mm of VCC pin
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Implement star grounding for mixed-signal applications
Signal Routing:
- Keep analog signal traces as short as possible (<25 mm)
- Maintain 50Ω characteristic impedance for high
