SYNC Output
In situations where output frequency relationships are not
integer multiples of each other, the SYNC output provides a
signal for system synchronization. The CY29972 monitors the
relationship between the QA and QC output clocks. It provides
a LOW-going pulse, one period in duration, one period prior to
the coincident rising edges of the QA and QC outputs. The
duration and placement of the pulse depend on the higher of
the QA and QC output frequencies. The following timing
diagram illustrates various waveforms for the SYNC output.
Note that the SYNC output is defined for all possible combina-
tions of QA and QC outputs, even though under some relation-
ships the lower frequency clock could be used as a synchro-
nizing signal.
