Electronic – Ways to lay this cyrstal out without increasing the PCB footprint

crystallayout

I am trying to follow the best practises in laying out a crystal.
Namely:
1. Keep traces short and direct
2. Keep it as close to the pins
3. Keep-out region under the crystal
4. No vias
5. Isolate the crystal

However I cannot fit my bypass caps near the pins.
Before I change the footprint of the PCB to accommodate the requirement, is there anything I can do to make my current design work?

[update]

The MCU is ATMEGA34U4. Crystals is this

Matching capacitors are 18pF (as per the datasheet in the link).

Not enough space

The following is what I came up with. Thank you all for your eyes on this!

Your layout looks almost perfect already. If you had place, you could place everything a little bit better, but the influence is so tiny, you will never spot the difference.

Remember, you can built this circuit with THT components on a breadboard and it still works. 16 MHz is not really a lot on a PCB. Trace lengths and length matching are not that important at these frequencies. In any case, make sure that the ground connection is good all around the crystal.

What I would do:

  • move the component right above the crystal to the right
  • move one capacitor in the now free space, leave the other where it is.
