Description

The 542 is cost effective way to produce a high-quality clock output divided from a clock input. The chip accepts a clock input up to 156 MHz at 3.3 V and produces a divide by 2, 4, 6, 8, 12, or 16 of the input clock. There are two outputs on the chip, one being a low-skew divide by two of the other. For instance, if an 100 MHz input clock is used, the 542 can produce low-skew 50 MHz and 25 MHz clocks, or low skew 25 MHz and 12.5 MHz clocks. The chip has an all-chip power-down mode that stops the outputs low, and an OE pin that tri-states the outputs. See the 501, 502, 511, 512, and 525 for clock multipliers.

  1. Recommendation or direct replacement for the 542MLFT

    We have an old design that used the 542MLFT and I see that this device is obsolete.What do you recommend we use to replace this on new designs? [locked by: Sai (SWF) at 13:33 (GMT 0) on 16 Jun 2022]

  2. DA14531 GTL not sending GAPC_PARAM_UPDATE_REQ_IND or GATTC_MTU_CHANGED_IND

    I'm using the GTL specification document as a reference for implementing a GTL host application. When I try connecting to the DA1453 from the nRF Connect app on android, I receive the GAPC_CONNECTION_REQ_IND message just fine, and when sending the confirmation message, the app is able ...
