## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Pitfall 1: Improper Power Supply Decoupling
- Issue : Insufficient decoupling causing output jitter and frequency instability
- Solution : Implement 100nF ceramic capacitor placed within 5mm of VDD pin, plus 10μF bulk capacitor
Pitfall 2: Incorrect I²C Pull-up Resistor Selection
- Issue : Weak pull-ups causing communication failures; strong pull-ups exceeding sink current
- Solution : Use 4.7kΩ pull-up resistors for 3.3V systems, 2.2kΩ for 5V tolerant interfaces
Pitfall 3: Output Load Mismatch
- Issue : Excessive capacitive loading causing waveform distortion
- Solution : Maintain load capacitance < 15pF; use buffer for high-capacitance loads
Pitfall 4: Thermal Management
- Issue : Performance drift in high-temperature environments
- Solution : Ensure adequate airflow; avoid placement near heat-generating components
