Appendix C Mounting Precautions
This section describes various precautions for circuit board design and IC mounting.
OSC3 oscillator circuit
• Oscillation characteristics depend on factors such as components used (resonator, C
G
, C
D
) and circuit board
patterns. In particular, with crystal resonators, select the appropriate capacitors (C
G
, C
D
) only after fully
evaluating components actually mounted on the circuit board.
• Oscillator clock disturbances caused by noise may cause malfunctions. To prevent such disturbances, con-
sider the following points.
(1) Components such as a resonator, resistors, and capacitors connected to the OSC3 and OSC4 pins should
have the shortest connections possible.
(2) Wherever possible, avoid locating digital signal lines within 3 mm of the OSC3 and OSC4 pins or related cir-
cuit components and wiring. Rapidly-switching signals, in particular, should be kept at a distance from these
components. Since the spacing between layers of multi-layer printed circuit boards is a mere 0.1 mm to 0.2
mm, the above precautions also apply when positioning digital signal lines on other layers.
Never place digital signal lines alongside such components or wiring, even if more than 3 mm distance or
located on other layers. Avoid crossing wires.
(3) Use V
SS
to shield the OSC3 and OSC4 pins and related wiring (including
wiring for adjacent circuit board layers). Layers wired should be adequate-
ly shielded as shown to the right. Fully ground adjacent layers, where pos-
sible. At minimum, shield the area at least 5 mm around the above pins and
wiring.
Even after implementing these precautions, avoid configuring digital signal
lines in parallel, as described in (2) above. Avoid crossing even on discrete
layers, except for lines carrying signals with low switching frequencies.
(4) After implementing these precautions, check the FOUT pin output clock waveform by running the actual
application program within the product.
For the OSC3 waveform, confirm that the frequency is as designed, is free of noise, and has minimal jitter.
Failure to observe precautions (1) to (3) adequately may lead to jitter in OSC3CLK. Jitter in the OSC3
output will reduce operating frequencies.
#RESET pin
Components such as a switch and resistor connected to the #RESET pin should have the shortest connections
possible to prevent noise-induced resets.

Connect a capacitor C
VPP
between the V
SS
and V
PP
pins to suppress
fluctuations within V
PP
±
1 V. The C
VPP
should be placed as close to the V
PP
pin as possible and use a sufficiently thick wiring pattern that allows current
of several tens of mA to flow.
Power supply circuit
Sudden power supply fluctuations due to noise will cause malfunctions. Consider the following issues.
(1) Connections from the power supply to the V
DD
, V
DD2
, V
SS
, and V
SS2
pins
should be implemented via the shortest, thickest patterns possible.
(2) When connecting bypass capacitors between V
DD
and V
SS
and between
V
DD2
and V
SS2
, connections between them should be as short as possible.
(3) When supplying V
DD
and V
DD2
from the same power source and connecting between these pins to short-
circuit, the short-circuit wiring should be distantly separated from the IC as far as possible. Creating an
independent wiring pattern from the power source to each pin is recommended if possible.
