Placing Oscillator for Micro Controller in PCB

[SughiRam P.]

Hi,

In any Micro Controller based projects, Where we place the oscillator circuits in PCB? Whether we need to place close to Controller or Isolate from it?
Anyone have microcontroller based PCB guidelines?

Yes, you should try to place it close to the microcontroller, and try also follow the general routing guidelines laid out in the following PDF, for example. See Page 22, for this PIC microcontroller:
