 All crystals and external oscillators must lie within these two bands
Not every crystal will work; they should be tested
An external oscillator can be used at all four bands
 The frequency at the phase detector (f3) must be the same for both CKIN1 and XA/XB or else switching cannot
be hitless
 To avoid spurs, avoid outputs that are an integer (or near integer) of the XA/XB frequency.
6.5.4. Free Run Reference Frequency Constraints
 While in Free Run:
CKOUT frequency tracks the reference frequency.
 For very low drift, a TCXO or OCXO reference is necessary.
 CKOUT Jitter:
XA/XB to CKOUT jitter transfer function is roughly one-to-one.
For very low jitter, either use a high quality crystal or external oscillator.
 3rd overtone crystals have lower close-in phase noise.
In general, higher XA/XB frequency > lower jitter.
 XA/XB frequency accuracy:
For hitless switching, to meet all published specifications, the XA/XB frequency divided by N32 should match the CLKIN
frequency divided by N31. If they do not match, the clock switch will still be well-behaved.
 Other than the above, the absolute accuracy of the XA/XB frequency is not important.
