Pin Function Detailed Description
VDD (Power Pins): These pins provide the necessary supply voltage for the internal circuitry. These voltages are typically 5V, 3.3V, or 1.8V depending on the pin's specific use.
GND (Ground Pins): Essential for establishing a common reference for all signals and minimizing noise or ground loops.
CLKIN/CLKOUT: These are the input and output pins for clock signals. The clock inputs are typically fed from an external source, while the clock outputs provide the clock signals for the system.
SYNC: This pin is used to synchronize the clock generator with external events or signals, ensuring alignment between different parts of the system.
RESET: This pin is used to reset the device, often bringing the system to a known initial state.
CONFIG Pins: These pins control various configurations of the device, like clock output modes, PLL settings, and frequency adjustments.
REFIN/REFOUT: These are used for reference clocks—either input for synchronization or output for cascading to other systems.
PLL_LOCK: Indicates whether the internal phase-locked loop (PLL) is locked, ensuring that the output clock is synchronized to the reference clock.
