Note: When operating with the power V_IN supply below 5.5V, this applicatoin requires the 5V to 5.5V external supply
to be present at EXTV_CC in order to maintain DRV_CC, INTV_CC and V_IN pin voltages needed for the IC to function
properly. The EXTV_CC supply is optional when the power V_IN supply is at or above 5.5V.
Power input voltage range of this application cannot be generalized for other frequency and/or output voltage. Each
application that needs a power input voltage different from the V_IN pin voltage shall be tested individually for margin
of range in which the switching nodes (SW1, SW2) phase-lock to the clock output (CLKOUT).
