## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Management Issues:
- Pitfall : Inadequate power supply design causing voltage drops during simultaneous device operation
- Solution : Implement proper decoupling capacitors and ensure power supply can handle peak current demands
Signal Integrity Problems:
- Pitfall : Excessive signal attenuation due to improper trace routing
- Solution : Maintain controlled impedance routing and minimize trace lengths for high-speed USB signals
EMI/EMC Compliance:
- Pitfall : Failing EMI tests due to improper grounding and shielding
- Solution : Implement proper ground planes and use EMI suppression components where necessary
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
USB Device Compatibility:
- Some legacy USB 1.1 devices may experience timing issues
- High-speed devices may not achieve maximum throughput when mixed with full-speed devices
Power Supply Compatibility:
- Requires stable 3.3V supply with adequate current capacity
- May conflict with power-hungry components sharing the same power rail
Clock Source Requirements:
- Requires precise 24MHz crystal oscillator with proper load capacitance
- Incompatible clock sources can cause USB enumeration failures
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution:
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF and 10μF) close to power pins
- Implement star-point grounding for noise-sensitive analog circuits
Signal Routing:
- Route USB differential pairs (D+/D-) with 90Ω differential impedance
- Maintain consistent trace spacing and length matching (±5mil tolerance)
- Avoid vias in high-speed signal paths when possible
- Keep USB traces away from noisy digital signals and clock sources
Component Placement:
- Position crystal oscillator close to
