Note 1: All voltages referenced to ground.
Note 2: This is the change observed in output frequency due to changes in temperature or voltage.
Note 3: See the Typical Operating Characteristics section.
Note 4: Parameter is guaranteed by design and is not production tested.
Note 5: This is a percentage of the output period. Parameter is characterized but not production tested. This can be varied from
0% to 8%.
Note 6: This indicates the time between power-up and the outputs becoming active. An on-chip delay is intentionally introduced to
allow the oscillator to stabilize. t
STAB
is equivalent to ~500 clock cycles and is dependent upon the programmed 
output frequency.
Note 7: Output voltage swings can be impaired at high frequencies combined with high output loading.
