We usually put a source termination resistor, 22 ohms to 33 ohms, at the output
of the clock oscillator, or even some other active device that may be receiving
the clock from an external source. This helps match the output impedance of
the oscillator or other device to the (nominally) 50 ohm signal trace.

I have inherited this design; however I imagine that it was done in an attempt
to slow the edges of the clock signal in an effort to reduce the higher
frequency components.
I recall one of your seminars Lee where you recommend to keep edges slow.
If the clock signal is to be used by a PLL internal to the MCU, is not the best
signal to deliver a sine wave?

Whilst I appreciate the intention of the previous designer, I don't believe
using a potentially resonant circuit is the correct way to go about it.

It was stated several posts back that it was intended to control the
edge rise time by that ...
