## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Improper Reset Circuitry
- Issue : Incomplete reset causing counter initialization errors
- Solution : Implement power-on reset circuit with minimum 1μs reset pulse width
- Implementation : Use RC network with diode discharge path
Pitfall 2: Clock Signal Integrity
- Issue : Clock jitter affecting timing accuracy
- Solution : Buffer clock signals and use proper decoupling
- Implementation : 74HC14 Schmitt trigger for clock conditioning
Pitfall 3: Supply Voltage Transients
- Issue : False triggering due to power supply noise
- Solution : Robust power supply filtering and regulation
- Implementation : 100nF ceramic capacitor at supply pins + 10μF tantalum bulk capacitor
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
TTL Interface Considerations :
- CD22402E CMOS outputs require pull-up resistors when driving TTL inputs
- Minimum 2.2kΩ pull-up for reliable TTL high-level recognition
- Clock input from TTL sources needs level shifting for optimal performance
Mixed-Signal Environments :
- Separate analog and digital grounds when used with analog components
- Use series resistors (22-100Ω) on outputs driving long traces or capacitive loads
- Isolate clock lines from sensitive analog signals
Power Sequencing :
- Ensure CD22402E powers up after or simultaneously with clock source
- Implement brown-out detection if system operates near minimum voltage
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place 100nF decoupling capacitors within 10mm of power pins
- Route power traces wider than signal traces (minimum 20 mil)
Signal Routing :
- Keep clock signals away from output lines to prevent
