Hi,
I've got a question about the attached picture: Is this good PCB layout?
Some more infos: A two layer board is used. The top layer is a ground plane, routing is made on the bottom layer. A through-hole-IC is placed on the top layer. Between the IC's pins on the bottom layer, there is a SMD-crystal (+ SMD load capacitances).
Is it a good idea to place the crystal this way, and what could I do to reduce the clock feedtrough?
