1. Operation below 9 kHz requires Option 856xEC-006
2. Absolute flatness values referenced to 300 MHz CAL OUT
3. Typical values at 25 °C
4. Frequency reference accuracy = aging x time since last adjustment + initial achievable accuracy + temperature stability
5. Up to 1 µs jitter due to 1 µs resolution of gate delay clock
