Power all the VDD pins with proper supply decoupling and bypassing connect as
shown in Figure 8-4.
Power down unused blocks through registers to minimize power consumption.
Use proper source or load terminations to match the impedance of input and output clock traces for any active signals to/from the device.
Leave unused clock outputs floating and powered down through register control.
Leave unused clock inputs floating.
For EEPROM+SPI Mode: Leave HW_SW_CTRL and STATUS[1:0] pins floating during POR
to provide proper start-up. These pins has
internal biasing to VIM internally.
If HW_SW_CTRL or either
STATUS pin is connected to a system host (MCU or
FPGA), the host device must be configured with
high-impedance input (no pullup or pulldown
resistors) to avoid conflict with the internal
bias to VIM. If needed, external
biasing resistors (10kΩ pullup to 3.3V and 3.3kΩ
pulldown) can be connected on each STATUS pin to
bias the inputs to VIM during POR.
Consider routing each STATUS pin to a test point or high-impedance input of a host device to monitor device status outputs.
Consider using a LDO regulator to power the external XO/TCXO/OCXO source.
High jitter and spurious outputs on the oscillator clock are often caused by high spectral noise and ripple on the power supply.
Include dedicated header to access the
I2C or SPI of the device, as well as a
header pin for ground.
This can enabled off-board
programming for device bring-up, prototyping, and
diagnostics using the TI USB2ANY interface and
TICS Pro software tools.
