- Ensure external crystal meets ±100ppm accuracy specification
Driver Compatibility :
- Verify operating system support for Cypress EZ-USB FX2LP family
- Consider custom driver requirements for specialized applications
### PCB Layout Recommendations
Power Distribution :
- Use separate power planes for analog and digital sections
- Implement star-point grounding near the device

- Maintain pair length matching within 5mil
- Avoid vias in USB signal paths when possible
- Keep USB traces away from noisy digital signals and clock lines
Clock Circuit Layout :
- Place crystal and load capacitors close to XTALIN/XTALOUT pins
- Use ground guard rings around crystal circuitry
- Avoid routing other signals under or near crystal components
General Layout Guidelines :
- Provide adequate thermal relief for power and ground connections
- Use 45°
