11.3 XTAL Printed-Circuit Board (PCB) layout guidelines
Follow these guidelines for PCB layout:
• Connect the crystal on the PCB as close as possible to the oscillator input and output
pins of the chip.
• Take care that the load capacitors C
x1
, C
x2
, and C
x3
in case of third overtone crystal
use have a common ground plane.
• Connect the external components to the ground plain.
• To keep parasitics and the noise coupled in via the PCB as small as possible, keep
loops as small as possible.
• Choose smaller values of C
x1
and C
x2
if parasitics of the PCB layout increase.
