## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Management Issues
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing USB signal integrity problems
- Solution : Implement proper power supply filtering with 10μF bulk capacitor and 0.1μF ceramic capacitors close to power pins
Clock Configuration
- Pitfall : Incorrect clock settings leading to USB enumeration failures
- Solution : Ensure precise 24MHz crystal oscillator with proper load capacitors and PCB layout
USB Enumeration Problems
- Pitfall : Device not recognized by host due to timing violations
- Solution : Follow USB timing specifications strictly in firmware initialization routines
### Compatibility Issues
Host Controller Compatibility
- Some USB 3.0 host controllers may exhibit compatibility issues with Full-Speed devices
- Solution: Implement robust error handling and consider USB 2.0 hub for critical applications
Operating System Support
- Legacy operating systems may require custom drivers
- Solution: Utilize standard HID class drivers when possible for plug-and-play compatibility
Power Supply Considerations
- Bus-powered devices must comply with USB power specifications
- Solution: Implement proper inrush current limiting and power management
### PCB Layout Recommendations
USB Differential Pair Routing
- Route D+ and D- as controlled impedance differential pair (90Ω differential)
- Maintain consistent spacing and equal length matching (±10mil tolerance)
- Avoid vias in USB signal paths when possible
