In this mode, should the reference frequency fail (i.e. stop or
disappear), the DCXO maintains its last setting and a flag
signal (FAIL#/SAFE) is set to indicate failure of the reference
clock.
The CY23FS04 provides 2 select bits, S1 through S2 to control
the reference to crystal frequency ratio. The DCXO is internally
tuned to the phase and frequency of the external reference
only when the reference frequency divided by this ratio is
within the DCXO capture range. If the frequency is out of
range, a flag will be set on the FAIL#/SAFE pin notifying the
system that the selected reference is not valid. If the reference
moves in range, then the flag will be cleared, indicating to the
system that the selected reference is valid.
