Input Clock Signal

The ICS9214 receives either a differential or single-ended reference clock (CLK_INT/C). When the reference input clock is

from a differential clock source, it must meet the voltage levels and timing requirements listed in the DC Characteristics –

Inputs and AC Characteristics – Inputs tables.

For a singled-ended clock input, an external voltage divider and a supply voltage, as shown in Figure 2, provide a reference

Characteristics – Inputs table.
