CDCDB400: Only accepts Clock Input: 100-MHz LP-HCSL - but there is no OSCILLATOR that has a LP-HCSL output

Part Number: CDCDB400


Dear TI Support Team,

as far as I understand it, I can hook an LP-HCSL driver output to a HCSL input, the receiver won't notice any difference.

But I can't figure if this applies to the LP-HCSL Clock input as well.

I can't even find a crystal oscillator that has an LP-HCSL output, only HCSL.

And in the Datasheet it says clearly:

Clock Input:
– 100-MHz LP-HCSL

So my actually question is: can I hook also a HCSL Signal to that Clock Input?

Currently, I am having a Skyworks Crystal Oscillator 510LCA004689CAG in mind,

as an input source for the CDCDB400.

Thanks in advance

Marcel Semrau
