Hi - I'm working on laying out a board with a Atmel AT91SAM7X256 (ARM
microcontroller). I'm working on placing the crystal. I have it in my
head somewhere that you should always keep crystals as close as
possible to the chip that they're connected to, and vias should be
avoided as much as possible with them. Is there any validity to this,
or is this just something that I made up? Any guidelines to the
placement of them? If it matters the crystal is ~20 MHz. Also - is
there anything wrong with placing the crystal directly underneath the
chip? Thanks,
