DESCRIPTION
The
CDC421Axxx
is
a
high-performance,
low-phase-noise clock generator. It has an integrated
low-noise, LC-based voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO) that operates within the 1.75 GHz to 2.35 GHz
frequency range. It has an integrated crystal oscillator
that operates in conjunction with an external AT-cut
crystal to produce a stable frequency reference for a
