What advantages does this have? Lower EMI emissions? Best regards, Pavel -- People of Russia, stop Putin before his war on Ukraine escalates.

Lower EMI emissions? > Hello Pavel, this is done for multiple reasons, main one being lower EMI, but the effects on functionality, depending on the actual board, may be quite dramatic and ranging from lower WiFi and/or modem signal "sensitivity" (as in, for example, having to automatically lower signal gain because of signal disturbance from the conducted EMI ripple), to even a complete platform crash due to clocking issues. This is not about accounting for hardware quirks because having this situation is totally normal and expected, especially on "particular" usecases such as smartphones, where the actual board is typically much constrained in terms of space, and where on the same board you have multiple components generating noise, either wanted (a nfc/wifi/bt/2g/3g/4g/5g/something-else signal), or unwanted. Cheers! Angelo
