## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Management Issues:
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing USB enumeration failures
- Solution : Implement proper power sequencing and use 100nF decoupling capacitors close to power pins
Clock Configuration:
- Pitfall : Incorrect crystal selection affecting USB timing accuracy
- Solution : Use 12MHz crystal with ±50ppm accuracy and proper load capacitors
USB Signal Integrity:
- Pitfall : Poor signal quality leading to connection instability
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance (90Ω differential) for USB D+/D- lines
### Compatibility Issues
Host Controller Compatibility:
- Generally compatible with standard USB host controllers
- May require specific driver installation for custom HID classes
- Some USB 3.0 hosts may exhibit timing sensitivity
Operating System Support:
- Windows: Excellent native HID support
- Linux: Good kernel-level support
- macOS: Standard HID class compatibility
- Embedded OS: Requires custom driver development
Peripheral Integration:
- I²C and SPI interfaces compatible with standard peripherals
- GPIO voltage levels compatible with 3.3V systems
- May require level shifting for 5V peripherals
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Critical Routing Guidelines:
```
USB Differential Pair:
- Route D+ and D- as 90Ω differential pair
- Maintain equal length (±10mil tolerance)
- Keep away from noisy signals and power traces
- Use ground plane beneath entire USB section
```
Power Distribution:
- Use star topology for power distribution
- Place decoupling capacitors within 100mil of power pins
- Implement separate analog and digital ground planes
- Connect ground planes at single point near USB connector
Component Placement:
- Position crystal close to XTAL pins with minimal trace length
- Keep USB connector within
