## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Inadequate Gate Driving
- Issue : Insufficient gate drive current causing slow switching and excessive losses
- Solution : Implement dedicated gate driver IC with peak current capability > 2A
Pitfall 2: Thermal Runaway
- Issue : Poor thermal management leading to device failure under high load conditions
- Solution : Use thermal vias, proper heatsinking, and implement temperature monitoring
Pitfall 3: Voltage Spikes
- Issue : Inductive kickback exceeding maximum VDS rating during turn-off
- Solution : Incorporate snubber circuits and ensure proper freewheeling diode placement
Pitfall 4: PCB Layout Issues
- Issue : High loop inductance causing ringing and EMI problems
- Solution : Minimize high-current loop areas and use ground planes effectively
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Gate Drivers :
- Compatible with most standard MOSFET drivers (TC4420, IR2110 series)
- Requires drivers capable of handling capacitive loads up to 3000pF
- Avoid drivers with slow rise/fall times (>50ns)
Microcontrollers :
- Direct compatibility with 3.3V/5V logic levels when using appropriate gate drivers
- May require level shifting when interfacing with lower voltage MCUs
Passive Components :
- Bootstrap capacitors: 0.1μF to 1μF ceramic capacitors recommended
- Decoupling: 10μF electrolytic + 100nF ceramic per power rail
- Gate resistors: 4.7Ω to 22Ω for controlling switching speed
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Stage Layout :
- Keep high-current paths
