BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS AND CRYSTAL SPECIFICATIONS
BOARD LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
To minimize parasitic effects and improve performance, do the following:
Place the crystal as close as possible to the IC.
Make the board traces that are connected to the crystal pins symmetrical. The board trace symmetry is
very important, as it reduces the negative parasitic effects to produce clean frequency multiplication with
low jitter.
