Additional Details

The CY2309CSXC features a phase-locked loop (PLL) that synchronizes the output clocks to the input reference clock. It supports a wide range of input frequencies and can be configured to multiply or divide the input clock frequency. The device also includes an output enable control pin, which allows the outputs to be disabled for power saving or testing purposes. The low skew and jitter performance of the CY2309CSXC makes it a popular choice for high-performance clock distribution applications, ensuring reliable and stable operation of digital systems. The device is available in both TSSOP and SOIC packages, offering flexibility in PCB layout and design.
