- Solution : Implement proper decoupling capacitors (100nF ceramic + 10μF tantalum) near each power pin
Pitfall 2: Clock Signal Integrity
- Problem : Jitter and timing errors affecting processing accuracy
- Solution : Use dedicated clock buffers and maintain controlled impedance traces
Pitfall 3: Thermal Management
- Problem : Overheating leading to performance throttling or device failure
- Solution : Incorporate adequate heatsinking and consider thermal vias in PCB design
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Memory Interfaces:
- Compatible with standard SDRAM and DDR memory modules
- May require level shifting when interfacing with 3.3V peripherals
