What the 1:6 clock ratio means for your clock tree
The PLL1706DBQ is a dual PLL multi-clock generator from Texas Instruments that takes one CMOS or crystal input and delivers six CMOS clock outputs. The 1:6 ratio means a single reference oscillator feeds six independent clock domains — useful for distributing a master clock to multiple ASICs, FPGAs, or converters without adding separate fan-out buffers. The maximum output frequency is 36.87 MHz, which covers common audio, video, and serial interface rates but not gigabit-speed SERDES reference clocks.
Supply voltage and temperature range — design margin check
The operating temperature span is -25°C to 85°C, which is industrial grade but not extended industrial; it suits indoor equipment and telecom cabinets but not under-hood automotive or outdoor enclosures exposed to direct sun.
Package and board-fit — 20-SSOP footprint
The supplier device package is 20-SSOP, which matches the common 20-lead SSOP land pattern.
