## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Management Issues
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate decoupling leading to USB enumeration failures
- *Solution*: Implement proper power supply sequencing and use 0.1μF decoupling capacitors close to VCC pins
Clock Configuration Problems
- *Pitfall*: Incorrect clock settings causing USB timing violations
- *Solution*: Use recommended crystal values (6MHz, 12MHz, or 24MHz) with proper load capacitors
USB Connectivity Challenges
- *Pitfall*: Poor signal integrity on USB D+ and D- lines
- *Solution*: Implement proper impedance matching and keep USB traces as short as possible
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility
- The device operates at 3.3V, requiring level shifting when interfacing with 5V components
- I/O pins are 5V tolerant but output signals are 3.3V levels
USB Host Compatibility
- Ensure proper USB descriptor implementation for broad host compatibility
- Some legacy systems may require specific driver configurations
Clock Source Requirements
- Compatible with external crystals (6MHz, 12MHz, 24MHz) or ceramic resonators
- Internal oscillator available but may require calibration for precise USB timing
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use separate power planes for digital and analog sections
- Implement star-point grounding near the device
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF) within 5mm of each VCC pin
USB Signal Routing
- Route USB D+ and D- as differential pairs with 90Ω characteristic impedance
