Additional Details

The IDT2305-1DCG8 features a phase-locked loop (PLL) for generating the output clock frequencies. The specific output frequencies and skew performance depend on the external components used in the PLL circuit. Refer to the IDT datasheet for detailed information on the recommended operating conditions, electrical characteristics, and package dimensions. Proper termination of the clock outputs is essential for minimizing signal reflections and ensuring optimal performance. The datasheet provides guidelines on appropriate termination techniques. It's supplied in a SOIC-8 package.
