The EN/SYNC pin is also used for device synchronization. After a clock signal is applied to this pin, the device is enabled and reads the configuration of the S-CONF pin. The external clock frequency must be within the clock synchronization frequency range set by the S-CONF pin. When the clock signal changes from a clock to a static high, then the device switches from external clock to internal clock. To shutdown the device when using an external clock, EN/SYNC must go low for at least 10 µs.

The clock signal can be a logic signal with a logic level as specified in the electrical table, and can be applied directly to the EN/SYNC pin. External logic, such as an AND gate, can be used to combine separate enable and clock inputs, as shown in Figure 7-2.
