(1) Internal pull down 100kΩ (Typ.)
(2) Output will be “L” level If CLKP = CLKN = ”L”. Output clock frequency will be lower than 400MHz if CLKP and
CLK N are fixed as ”H” and ”L” (or ”L” and CLKN=”H”), respectively. Setting CLKP = CLKN = ”H” is prohibited.
(3) Output status is Hi-z for normal operation.

Note
(1) Stress beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device.
These are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those
indicated under “Recommended Operating Conditions” is not implied. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rating
conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the
recommended operating temperature range.
ESD Sensitive Device
This device is manufactured on a CMOS process, therefore, generically susceptible to
damage by excessive static voltage. Failure to observe proper handling and
installation procedures can cause damage. AKEMD recommends that this device is handled with
appropriate precautions.
