7.5.1 Oscillator Routing
When designing the printed-circuit board:
- Place the crystal circuit on the same side of the PCB as the 66AK2G1x device and as close as possible to the respective device pins SYSOSC_IN / SYSOSC_OUT, or AUDOSC_IN / AUDOSC_OUT.
- The crystal circuit traces should be placed on the outer layer of the PCB when possible, with the lengths being as short as possible to reduce parasitic capacitance and minimize crosstalk from other signals.
- Do not route any other signals under the crystal circuit traces if there is an adjacent signal layer on the PCB.
- Route all crystal circuit component ground connections to one common ground via. This via must directly connect to the ground plane.
- Treat VSS_OSC_AUDIO and VSS_OSC_SYS pins the same way as other device VSS pins: connect them to board ground as near to the ball as possible.
