ESP32 Forum

I’m designing a PCB with multiple ESP32-S3’s. Is it possible to use a single 40Mhz oscillator for more then one chip?

Possible but some conditions must be fulfilled. You CANNOT share a crystal between chips because each chip needs its own internal load capacitance network for oscillation.You CAN share a clock oscillator (an active device that outputs a square wave) with multiple chips, under proper conditions. If you're concerned about signal integrity or complexity with a single oscillator, consider using a dedicated oscillator for each ESP32-S3 chip, especially if you have RF components or other sensitive circuits on the same board. At 40 MHz, interference between signals can become a concern. Pay close attention to proper grounding and shielding techniques to minimize noise and crosstalk between the oscillator signal and other traces on the PCB.

Yeah I decided to go with individual crystals for each chip. Makes design a bit more complicated but once I seen the way I’d have to route the signals to all chips it made the decision easy.
