## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Stability
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing data corruption during read/write operations
- Solution : Implement 0.1μF ceramic capacitors within 10mm of each power pin, plus 10μF bulk capacitor per power rail
Signal Integrity Issues
- Pitfall : Long, un-terminated address/data lines causing signal reflections
- Solution : Use series termination resistors (22-33Ω) on critical signal lines and maintain trace length matching
Timing Violations
- Pitfall : Insufficient setup/hold times leading to intermittent data errors
- Solution : Carefully calculate timing margins considering temperature and voltage variations
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Microcontroller Interfaces
- 3.3V Systems : Direct compatibility with most modern 3.3V microcontrollers
- 5V Systems : Requires level shifting for address and control lines
- Mixed-Signal Systems : Ensure proper grounding separation from analog components
Bus Contention Prevention
- Implement proper bus isolation when multiple devices share data lines
- Use tri-state buffers for multi-master systems
- Ensure proper chip select timing to prevent simultaneous activation
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use dedicated power planes for VCC and ground
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors as close as possible to power pins
Signal Routing
- Route address and data lines as matched-length groups
- Maintain 3W rule (trace spacing ≥
