- Recommended to use standard HID class for plug-and-play functionality
Power Supply Compatibility
- Ensure 3.3V regulation meets USB voltage specifications
- Consider LDO regulators with adequate current capacity
### PCB Layout Recommendations
USB Signal Routing
- Keep D+ and D- traces parallel and equal length
- Maintain 90Ω differential impedance
- Route USB signals away from noisy digital lines
Power Distribution
- Use star topology for power distribution
- Implement separate analog and digital ground planes
- Connect grounds at single point near USB connector
Component Placement
- Place crystal and load capacitors close to the device
- Position decoupling capacitors within 5mm of power pins
- Keep USB connector within 25mm of CY7C63613SC
General Layout Guidelines
- Use 45° angles instead of 90° for trace turns
- Provide adequate clearance between high-speed signals
- Implement proper via stitching for ground planes
