A 216MHz noise for my CY7C68014A

[eran]

Hello

I ran an radiated RF emission test, and got a 216MHz noise from the CY7C68014A. The crystal frequency is 24MHz and the PLL microcontroller can increase the clock frequency up to 480MHz. How can I overcome this noise?

I am more of a SW guy, but I couldn't help but notice that 24 * (2 * 2 * 2) + 24 = 216, the frequency you measured.

Probably a mixing of the third harmonic with the base frequency.

From my limited HW design knowledge I gathered, the source is often the supply lines, less often driven IO lines. Perhaps you need to add some RF filtering.  Buffer caps (electrolytic caps) are very bad at this.
