Folks,=20

Can a single crystal be driving two different inputs of a chip that feed =
into=20
two sensitive analog blocks within a chip. Has anyone had any experience =

doing this kind of a thing on the board ?=20

We are facing an issue where a 27Mhz crystal clock needs to be hooked up =
to drive=20
two sensitive analog cores.=20

If we make the connection internal to the chip then the jitter due to =
(trace delay + buffer delay + process variations)=20
has significant impact on the audio quality.

Not to mention the fact that any issues that surface and subsequent =
fixes with this approach will have significant=20
respin costs for the chip.=20

Your inputs would be greatly appreciated.=20

Thanks
Rohan=20
