## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Gate Drive Issues
- Pitfall : Insufficient gate drive current causing slow switching and increased losses
- Solution : Implement dedicated gate driver IC with peak current capability > 2A
- Pitfall : Gate oscillation due to improper layout
- Solution : Use twisted-pair gate connections and series gate resistors (2.2-10Ω)
Thermal Management
