## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Sequencing:
- Pitfall : Improper power-up sequence causing latch-up
- Solution : Implement sequenced power management IC with proper timing control
- Implementation : Use dedicated power sequencer IC with 5ms delay between core and I/O supplies
Clock Distribution:
- Pitfall : Clock jitter affecting signal processing accuracy
- Solution : Use low-jitter clock generators with proper termination
- Implementation : Implement clock tree with impedance-matched traces and dedicated ground planes
Signal Integrity:
- Pitfall : High-speed signal degradation due to improper routing
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance for high-speed interfaces
- Implementation : Use 50Ω single-ended and 100Ω differential impedance matching
### Compatibility Issues
Memory Interfaces:
- DDR3/DDR4 compatibility requires careful timing analysis
- Solution : Use manufacturer-recommended memory controllers
- Clock domain crossing must be properly synchronized
Mixed-Signal Integration:
- ADC/DAC interfaces require careful grounding separation
- Solution : Implement split ground planes with single-point connection
- Digital noise coupling can affect analog performance
Peripheral Compatibility:
- Legacy interfaces (UART, SPI) may require level shifting
- Modern interfaces (PCIe Gen3) need strict signal integrity measures
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use 4-layer minimum PCB stackup with dedicated power and ground planes
- Implement multiple decoupling capacitors (100nF, 10μF, 100μF) at different frequencies
- Place bulk capacitors near power entry points
- Use wide power traces with multiple vias for current carrying capacity
Signal Routing:
- Route high-speed signals on inner layers between ground
