- Solution : Implement proper power supply sequencing and use multiple decoupling capacitors (100nF and 10μF) near power pins
Clock Configuration Errors
- Pitfall : Incorrect clock source selection leading to timing inaccuracies
- Solution : Carefully configure internal main oscillator (IMO) and use external crystal when precise timing required
Analog Signal Integrity
- Pitfall : Noise coupling in analog measurements due to digital switching
- Solution : Separate analog and digital grounds, use dedicated analog power supply pins
