Power all the VDD pins with proper supply decoupling and bypassing connect as shown in Figure 10-4.
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 ensure 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 (10-kΩ pullup to 3.3 V and 3.3-kΩ 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 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.
