CAUTION
Never apply a voltage exceeding the maximum input voltage to the reference input
terminal. Damage to the input terminals may result.
• Outputting the reference clock signal
The reference clock signal is output from the reference output terminal. The reference clock
selected, as described in “Selecting the reference clock” at the foot of this page, will be output all
the time.

CAUTION
Never short-circuit the reference output terminal or apply an external voltage to it.
Damage to the internal circuits may result.
Selecting the reference clock
Select the desired reference clock from the following.
• INTERNAL: Selects the internal reference clock signal.
• EXTERNAL: Selects the external reference clock signal.
