Crystal Oscillator and PCB Mismatch: Causes, Effects, and Solutions
Introduction Crystal oscillators (XO) are critical components in electronic circuits, providing precise clock signals for microcontrollers, processors, and communication modules. However, a common issue in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) design and manufacturing is the mismatch between the crystal oscillator and the PCB. This misalignment can lead to frequency instability, signal distortion, or complete circuit failure….
