## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Decoupling
- Pitfall : Inadequate decoupling causing measurement inaccuracies
- Solution : Place 100nF ceramic capacitor within 10mm of VCC pin
- Implementation : Use X7R or better dielectric capacitors
I²C Bus Design
- Pitfall : Excessive bus capacitance causing communication failures
- Solution : Limit bus capacitance to 400pF maximum
- Implementation : Use lower value pull-up resistors (2.2kΩ typical) for faster edges
Thermal Considerations
- Pitfall : Self-heating affecting temperature measurements
- Solution : Minimize power dissipation during conversions
- Implementation : Use one-shot conversion mode for infrequent readings
ESD Protection
- Pitfall : ESD damage during handling and installation
- Solution : Implement proper ESD protection on all interface lines
- Implementation : Use TVS diodes on SDA and SCL lines
