## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Design
- *Pitfall*: Inadequate decoupling causing signal integrity issues
- *Solution*: Implement multi-stage decoupling with 100nF, 10μF, and 100μF capacitors placed close to power pins
Clock Distribution
- *Pitfall*: Poor clock signal quality affecting processing accuracy
- *Solution*: Use dedicated clock buffers and maintain controlled impedance traces
Thermal Management
- *Pitfall*: Overheating leading to performance throttling
- *Solution*: Implement proper heatsinking and consider airflow in enclosure design
### Compatibility Issues with Other Components
Memory Interfaces
