maximum oscillator trace length

[Melanie]

Don't forget also that long leads on oscillators also produce heaps of radiated signals... your product might fail CE certification if it's a commercial product.

Thanks Melanie for your input. I will not be going through any approvals so I think I am OK. Many thanks to all giving their opinion.

For really small crystals, the Epson mini barrel crystals can't be beat. If you can use a resonator, they already have built in caps in some tiny SMT packages.
