## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Sequencing Issues
- Problem : Improper power-up sequencing causing device malfunction
- Solution : Follow manufacturer's recommended power-up sequence (VDD → VDDIO → VBUS)
Signal Integrity Problems
- Problem : USB signal degradation due to improper impedance matching
- Solution : Maintain 90Ω differential impedance on USB data lines with tight coupling
EMI/EMC Compliance
- Problem : Radiated emissions exceeding regulatory limits
- Solution : Implement proper filtering and shielding on USB ports
### Compatibility Issues
Host Controller Compatibility
- Works with all standard USB 2.0 host controllers
- May require specific driver support for legacy operating systems
Peripheral Device Compatibility
- Supports all USB 2.0 device classes
- Potential issues with high-power devices exceeding port current limits
Operating System Support
- Native support in Windows 10/11, macOS, and Linux
- May require custom drivers for embedded or real-time operating systems
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Implement proper decoupling: 10μF bulk + 0.1μF ceramic per power pin
- Place decoupling capacitors within 2mm of power pins
USB Signal Routing
- Route USB differential pairs with 90Ω ±10% characteristic impedance
- Maintain consistent trace spacing (typically 8-10 mil)
- Keep USB traces as short as possible (< 6 inches recommended)
- Avoid vias in USB signal paths when possible
Clock Circuit Layout
- Place crystal and load capacitors close to XTAL pins
- Use ground guard rings around crystal circuitry
- Keep clock traces away from noisy digital signals
General Layout Guidelines
- Separate analog and digital ground planes with single-point connection
- Provide adequate thermal vias under exposed pad for heat dissipation
- Follow manufacturer's recommended keep-out areas
