## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Design
- Pitfall : Inadequate power supply decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- Solution : Implement recommended 0.1 μF ceramic capacitors close to each power pin
- Pitfall : Ground bounce affecting analog performance
- Solution : Use separate analog and digital ground planes with single-point connection
Clock Circuit Issues
- Pitfall : Poor clock signal quality leading to synchronization problems
- Solution : Use high-stability 25 MHz crystal with proper load capacitors
- Pitfall : Clock jitter exceeding specifications
- Solution : Implement guard rings around crystal circuitry and minimize trace lengths
### Compatibility Issues
Microcontroller Interfaces
- MII/RMII Timing : Ensure host controller meets setup/hold time requirements
- Voltage Level Matching : Verify 3.3V I/O compatibility with host processor
- Clock Domain Crossing : Proper synchronization between different clock domains
Magnetics Selection
- Impedance Matching : Select magnetics with proper 1:1 turns ratio and 50Ω impedance
- Common Mode Choke : Ensure adequate common mode rejection for EMI compliance
- Isolation Rating : Choose magnetics with appropriate isolation voltage for application
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Critical Signal Routing
- MDI Lines : Keep TX/RX pairs length-matched (±5 mm) and route as differential pairs
- Impedance Control : Maintain 100Ω differential impedance for MDI interfaces
- Separation : Keep MDI traces at least 3x trace width from other signals
Power Distribution
- Decoupling : Place decoupling capacitors within
