Figure 27. Free Run Mode Block Diagram
 CKIN2 has an extra mux with a path to the crystal oscillator output.
 When in Free Run mode, CKIN2 is sacrificed (Si5326, Si5368, Si5369, Si5374, and Si5376).
 Switching between the crystal oscillator and CLKIN1 is graceful and well-behaved.
 Either a crystal or an external oscillator can be used, except for the Si5374/75/76.
 External oscillator connection can be either single ended or differential.
 All other features and specifications remain the same.
6.5.1. Free Run Mode Programming Procedure
 Using DSPLLsim, determine the frequency plan:
Write to the internal dividers, including N31 and N32.
 Enable Free Run Mode (the mux select line), FREE_RUN.
 Select CKIN1 as the higher priority clock.
 Establish revertive and autoselect modes.
 Once properly programmed, the part will:
Initially lock to either the XA/XB (OSC_P and OSC_N for the Si5374/75/76) or to CKIN1.
Automatically select CKIN1, if it is available.
Automatically and hitlessly switch to XA/XB if CKIN1 fails.
Automatically and hitlessly switch back to CKIN1 when it subsequently returns.
 For the Si5319:
Clock selection is manual using an input pin.
Clock switching is not hitless.
CKIN2 is not available.
6.5.2. Clock Control Logic in Free Run Mode
Noting that the mux that selects CKIN2 versus the XA/XB oscillator is located before the clock selection and control
logic, when in Free Run mode operation, all such logic will be driven by the XA/XB oscillator, not the CKIN2 pins.
For example, when in Free Run mode, the CK2B pin will reflect the status of the XA/XB oscillator and not the status
of the CKIN2 pins.
