Pinout

|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | OSCI | input | External 25 MHz crystal input. Can also be driven single-ended by a clock oscillator (leave OSCO unconnected in that case). |
| 2 | OSCO | output | External 25 MHz crystal output. |
| 3 | OSCVDD12 | power_in | Crystal oscillator +1.2V supply. Supplied by the on-chip regulator unless REG_EN configures regulator-off mode. |
| 4 | OSCVSS | power_in | Crystal oscillator ground. |
| 5 | VDD33 | power_in | +3.3V supply for the internal regulators. Must be supplied even if internal regulators are disabled. |
| 6 | VDDCR | power_in | +1.2V digital core supply. Supplied by the on-chip regulator unless REG_EN configures regulator-off mode. Pin 6 needs 1 µF and 470 pF decoupling caps in parallel to ground. |

The marking in the etched file is real recessed geometry cut into the solid, not a texture or a decal: 680 faces against 398 in the bare model. It survives export, section views, and rendering in any CAD tool, and it drops straight into KiCad or Fusion with no extra setup.
