### 6) Crystal
The crystal will resonate at a specified frequency. Its waveform will be used as an input to the PLL (Phase Locked Loop) that will multiply the crystal’s frequency. This is the crystal that will be used: https://www.elfa.se/en/quartz-surface-mount-12mhz-iqd-lfxtal003210/p/17452154

The crystal and its associated capacitors are part of a "Pierce oscillator" circuit connected to two special pins on the MCU - `PH0 - OSC_IN` and `PH1 - OSC_OUT`. To calculate value of the load capacitors required for proper operation, use the following formula:
`C = 2*(Cload - Cstray)` where `Cload` is the load capacitance value specified in the crystal's [datasheet](https://www.elfa.se/Web/Downloads/_t/ds/LFXTAL029370REEL_eng_tds.pdf) (18pF) and `Cstray` is the stray capaciatance on the PCB, usually in the range of 2-10pF (pick something in-between, like 6pF). This gives us a capacitance value of `2*(18 - 6) = 24pF`. The closest standard value would be `22pF`.
- Click on the Place component button.
- Find the device/Crystal.
- Place it close to `PH0` and `PH1`, pin 5 and 6 (`RCC_OS_CIN` and `RCC_OSC_OUT`).
- Connect the component with wires to the mentioned pins. Value 12MHz.
- Place it close to `PH0 - OSC_IN` and `PH1 - OSC_OUT`, pin 5 and 6.
- Connect the component with wires to the mentioned pins. Value 16MHz.
- Connect one 22pF capacitor to each pin on the crystal and connect the other end of the capacitors to GND.

### 11) 1.9v Power Supply
As you can see in the PWM3389DM-T3QU datasheet and reference schematics, the sensor requires a 1.9v power supply. This is much less common voltage for a fixed output LDO (try finding one from Elfa or rs-online and you will likely fail).

To that end, you can use an adjustable voltage regulator, such as [MIC5235YM5-TR](https://www.elfa.se/en/ldo-voltage-regulator-24-20v-sot-23-microchip-mic5235ym5-tr/p/30099685), which will let you set your desired output voltage using external resistors.

### 17) Electric Rule Check (ERC)
ERC is a check that detects if you have any ”lose ends”, meaning that it will give you a warning if you have a net with only one connection. It will also give you a warning if you have drawn a net to a component but the net and the component haven’t connected. To get the ERC to work as intended, you have to mark all the unused pins with a Not-connected flag, found to the right.
