Clock Input
CLKIN ICLK Single-ended clock oscillator input.
Note: W
hen using a single ended clock
oscillator, XTAL2 should be left
unconnected.
1 External
Crystal Out-

XTAL2 OCLK External crystal output
1 External
Re
set
nRST VIS
(PU)
System reset. This signal is active low.
1 Interrupt Out-
put
nINT VOD8
(PU)
Active low interrupt output. Place an external
re
sistor pull-up to VDDIO.
Note: Refer to Section 3.6, "Interrupt
Management," on page 24 for additional
details on device interrupts.
Note: Refer to Section 3.8.1.2, "nINTSEL and
LED2 Polarity Selection," on page 32 for
details on how the nINTSEL configuration
strap is used to determine the function of
this pin.
Reference
Clock Output
REFCLKO VO8 This optional 50MHz clock output is derived from
the 25MHz crystal oscillator. REFCLKO is select-
able via the nINTSEL configuration strap.
Note: Refer Section 3.7.4.2, "REF_CLK Out
Mode," on page 29 for additional details.
Note: Re
fer to Section 3.8.1.2, "nINTSEL and
LED2 Polarity Selection," on page 32 for
details on how the
nINTSEL configuration
strap is used to determine the function of
this pin.
