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

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.
