### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution
```markdown
- Use star topology for power distribution
- Implement separate analog and digital ground planes
- Place decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
```
USB Signal Routing
- Keep USB D+ and D- traces parallel and equal length
- Maintain 90Ω differential impedance
- Route USB signals away from noisy components
Crystal Oscillator Layout
- Place crystal close to the controller (within 10mm)
- Use ground plane under crystal circuit
- Keep crystal traces short and away from other signals
General Layout Guidelines
- Minimize trace lengths for high-speed signals
- Use vias sparingly in critical signal paths
- Implement proper ground return paths
