Pitfall 2: Input/Output Capacitor Selection
- Problem: Instability or excessive ripple voltage
- Solution: Use low-ESR ceramic capacitors close to IC pins
Pitfall 3: Inductor Saturation
- Problem: Reduced efficiency and potential damage
- Solution: Select inductors with adequate saturation current margin (≥150% of maximum load)
### Compatibility Issues
Component Compatibility:
- Compatible with: Most modern microcontrollers and digital ICs
- Requires careful matching with: High-frequency switching MOSFETs
- Incompatible with: Components requiring ultra-low noise (<10μV RMS)
Voltage Level Considerations:
