3.4 XTAL

Figure 3-11 shows the placement and layout around the 40 MHz XTAL and its connections to the CC33xx IC.

Figure 3-11 is sampled from the BP-CC3301 design files.

When integrating the XTAL, please follow these guidelines:

  • The traces connecting the XTAL to the CC3301 (XTAL_P and XTAL_M) be as short as possible with matching trace length.
  • Place a 150 Ω resistor on the XTAL_P pin as close as possible to the CC33xx.
  • The two loading capacitors should be parallel to the edge of the XTAL.
  • On layer below the crystal (layer 2), place a cutout underneath the area of the XTAL and the loading capacitors. Check on the layer below that (layer 3) has good ground underneath the same area. For a visual representation, see Figure 3-12.
  • Wherever possible, there should be increased ground via stitching around the XTAL for optimal isolation.

Figure 3-12 is sampled from layer 3 of the M2-CC3301 design files.
