4.2. Feedback Clock Select
The feedback pins (IN4, IN5/IN6) can be used in external feedback mode (for zero delay applications), or as
alternate reference inputs. The IN5/IN6 pins provide a differential input and IN4 accepts a single-ended input. Only
the Si5338N/P/Q devices allow IN4 to be used as a single-ended clock input. The registers responsible for
selecting/configuring external feedback clock inputs are shown in Figure 8.
Figure 8. Feedback Input Configuration Registers
When the Si5338 is used in the zero delay mode, set the PFD_EXTFB bit = 1 (register 48[7] = 1). When the Si5338
is not in the zero delay mode, set the PFD_EXTFB bit = 0 (register 48[7] = 0).
