- *Solution*: Implement proper power supply filtering with multiple capacitor values (0.1μF, 1μF, 10μF) close to power pins
Signal Integrity Problems :
- *Pitfall*: Poor USB differential pair routing causing signal degradation
- *Solution*: Maintain 90Ω differential impedance, equal trace lengths, and minimal via usage
Clock Configuration Errors :
- *Pitfall*: Incorrect clock source selection or unstable oscillator circuits
- *Solution*: Use recommended crystal oscillators with proper load capacitors and keep traces short
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
USB Host Compatibility :
- Ensure proper USB enumeration and descriptor configuration
- Test with various host controllers (Intel, AMD, ARM-based systems)
Voltage Level Matching :
- Interface with 3.3V and 1.8V components requires level shifting
- Verify I/O voltage compatibility with connected peripherals
Timing Constraints :
- Synchronize with external ADCs/DACs using available clock outputs
- Consider propagation delays in high-speed data paths
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use separate power planes for digital and analog supplies
- Implement star-point grounding near the device
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
Signal Routing :
