Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'SR' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when sourcing from distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the ordering quantity aligns with the standard reel pack size defined by the supplier. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to guarantee compatibility with current design specifications.

Clock Generators, PLLs, Frequency Synthesizers Selection Notes

Select this component when a wide supply voltage range between 2 V and 6 V is required for CMOS logic compatibility. Choose the SOIC-16 package for surface-mount assembly constraints. Consider the CD74HCT4046 variant if strict 5 V TTL input thresholds are necessary instead of standard CMOS levels. Verify that the 38 MHz maximum frequency meets the system's signal processing requirements.
