## 2. Design Considerations
### Common Design Pitfalls and Solutions
Power Supply Sequencing
- Pitfall : Improper power-up sequence causing latch-up or initialization failures
- Solution : Implement controlled power sequencing with monitoring circuitry
- Implementation : Use power management ICs with enable/disable timing control
Clock Distribution
- Pitfall : Clock jitter exceeding 200ps causing timing violations
- Solution : Employ low-jitter clock generators with proper termination
- Implementation : Use dedicated clock distribution buffers and matched trace lengths
Reset Circuitry
- Pitfall : Inadequate reset duration or glitches during power stabilization
- Solution : Implement power-on reset circuit with minimum 100ms hold time
- Implementation : Use supervisory ICs with adjustable timeout periods
### Compatibility Issues
Memory Interface
- SRAM Compatibility : Requires fast SRAM (25ns or better) for zero-wait-state operation
- EPROM Programming : Special programming algorithms needed for bootstrap ROM
- Mixed Voltage Systems : 5V I/O compatibility but requires level translation for 3.3V peripherals
Peripheral Integration
- Analog Components : Separate analog and digital grounds to prevent noise coupling
- ADC/DAC Interfaces : Match timing requirements with external converters
- Communication Protocols : UART, SPI interfaces may require external level shifters
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
- Use four-layer board minimum with dedicated power and ground planes
- Implement star-point grounding for analog and digital sections
- Place decoupling capacitors (0.1μF ceramic) within 5mm of
