External XO: The figure below shows the output clocks. Similar to the input clocks, the output clocks have vias that immediately go to
a buried layer with a ground plane above them and a ground flooded bottom layer. There is ground flooding between the clock output
pairs to reduce crosstalk. There should be a line of vias through the ground flood on either side of the output clocks to ensure that the
ground flood immediately next to the differential pairs has a low inductance path to the ground plane on layers 3 and 6.
