The measured emissions are no data, which are specified in the DS of the microcontroller series. During the last designs the EMI of the Fujitsu 16LX microcontroller series could be reduced step by step. The PLL multiplier circuit allows the usage of low crystal frequency to reduce high-frequency noise from the oscillator circuit.
3. Crystal Oscillator Circuit Figure 1 shows the oscillator for the Fujitsu 16-bit family. For best performance, the PCB layout of this circuit should cover only a very small area. For the layout is recommended a PCB with two or more layers. Make sure to provide bypass capacitors via shortest distance from X0, X1 pins, crystal oscillator, and ground lines.
4. Power supply routing One topic our noise reduction technology is lowering internal power supply voltage on 3V level to reduce the current flow. Fig. 2 shows the structure of 5V and 3V power supply. I/O-PORT FLASH Vcc3 3V Regulator SCI / TIMER / etc A/D+D/A AVcc...

The high-speed current (di/dt) will be supported from the decoupling capacitor only. Therefore use traces with max. width and min. length between Vss/Vcc pin and DeCap. After DeCap use thin traces to route the trace to the power supply system. use EMC filter for short length µC-supply...

For 2-layer boards should be used a closed ground plane (located directly below the MCU). The Vcc supplies should be taken from the bottom layer. For 4-layer boards should be used the inside layers for GND and Vcc supplies. In this case, both layers form additional capacitor (broadband behaviour) for the power supply.
5. Noise reduction for general IO pins To reduce noise, make sure to connect the Vss or Vcc with smoothed power supply, because the noise on the power supply will also distributed via IO-pin, which is configured as static low or high output. Figure 9 shows an example to reduce the noise on output lines. µC µC IO-Port...
