Texas Instruments CDCE6214Q1TM Ultra-Low Power Clock Generator

Texas Instruments CDCE6214Q1TM Ultra-Low Power Clock Generator is a 4-channel, medium-grade jitter clock generator for automotive applications that can generate five independent clock outputs. These outputs are selectable between various modes of drivers. The input source can be a single-ended or differential input clock source or a crystal. The Texas Instruments CDCE6214Q1TM features a frac-N PLL to synthesize unrelated base frequencies from any input frequency.
