## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Design
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing digital noise coupling into analog circuits
- Solution : Implement star-point grounding and use multiple decoupling capacitors (100nF ceramic + 10μF tantalum) close to power pins
Clock Configuration
- Pitfall : Incorrect clock tree configuration leading to timing violations
- Solution : Carefully configure internal main oscillator (IMO) and phase-locked loop (PLL) settings using PSoC Creator clock configuration tool
DFB Programming
- Pitfall : Incorrect coefficient loading causing filter instability
- Solution : Implement coefficient validation and use built-in DFB status registers for runtime monitoring
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Voltage Level Compatibility
- Issue : Mixed voltage domain interfacing (1.8V, 3.3V, 5V)
- Resolution : Use programmable I/O voltage levels and implement level shifters when necessary
Communication Protocols
- SPI/I2C Timing : Ensure proper timing margins when interfacing with external peripherals
- UART Baud Rates : Account for clock accuracy tolerances in asynchronous communication
Analog Interface Considerations
- ADC
