Power all the VDD pins with proper supply decoupling and bypassing connect as shown in Figure 10-3.
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.
If needed, external biasing resistors (10-kΩ pullup to 3.3 V or 10-kΩ pulldown) can be connected on each GPIO pin to select device operation mode during POR.
Consider routing each GPIO 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 on the oscillator clock are often caused by high spectral noise and ripple on its power supply.
Include dedicated header to access the I2C or SPI interface 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.
