Hello,
it may seem a banal question, but as it's the first time I use an external
oscillator (with integrated crystal), I am not sure. The datasheet makes no
mention whatsoever to the need to use a bypass capacitor in the power line:

But is this truly the case?

Should I put a (100nF?) bypass capacitor anyway in your opinion?

Space on the board may be used for something else otherwise, so I don't
want to put useless components. But then again who does.

Also, I guess there's no advantage in grounding the metalcase on this
integrated oscillator, like I use to do with Xtals. Maybe it's already
grounded but I haven't received it yet.. I ask in case it's not.

Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mario
