SYNC_OUT
O
I
Used to Synchronize Multiple AD9959 Devices. Connects to the SYNC_IN pin of the
slave AD9959 devices.
Active High Reset Pin. Asserting the MASTER_RESET pin forces the AD9959 internal
registers to their default state, as described in the Register Maps and Bit Descriptions
section.

Complementary Reference Clock/Oscillator Input. When the REF_CLK is operated
in single-ended mode, this pin should be decoupled to AVDD or AGND with a
0.1 μF capacitor.
Reference Clock/Oscillator Input. When the REF_CLK is operated in single-ended
mode, this is the input. See the Modes of Operation section for the reference clock
configuration.
