1. See Figure 3-11 for details on using the recommended connection of an external clock driver.
2. When using Time of Day (TOD), maximum external frequency is 6MHz.
3. The high or low pulse width must be no smaller than 6.25ns or the chip will not function.
4. Parameters listed are guaranteed by design.
