CDCE421ARGET from Texas Instruments, in a VQFN-24-EP(4x4). Pinout and pin descriptions extracted from the manufacturer datasheet (extract_pins, cross-checked by a second model); symbol, footprint, and 3D from KiCad-official CAD.
Pinout
| Pin | Name | Type | Function |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | CE | input | Chip enable: CE = 1 enables the device and outputs, while CE = 0 disables all current sources and puts LVDSP/LVDSN or LVPECLP/LVPECLN into Hi-Z. |
| 2 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 3 | SDATA | input | Programming pin for TI's proprietary interface protocol used to configure the device settings stored in EEPROM. |
| 4 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 5 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 6 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 7 | OUTN | output | High-speed negative differential LVPECL or LVDS output, enabled by CE and selected through the EEPROM configuration registers. |
| 8 | GND | power_in | Ground connection for the device. |
| 9 | GND | power_in | Ground connection for the device. |
| 10 | OUTP | output | High-speed positive differential LVPECL or LVDS output, enabled by CE and selected through the EEPROM configuration registers. |
| 11 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 12 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 13 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 14 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 15 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 16 | VCC | power_in | 3.3-V power supply pin; the datasheet recommends 3.0 V to 3.6 V (3.30 V typical) for VDD. |
| 17 | VCC | power_in | 3.3-V power supply pin; the datasheet recommends 3.0 V to 3.6 V (3.30 V typical) for VDD. |
| 18 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 19 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 20 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 21 | XIN1 | input | In crystal mode connects to one crystal terminal; in LVCMOS single-ended input mode it is the input reference. |
| 22 | XIN2 | passive | In crystal mode connects to the other crystal terminal; in LVCMOS single-ended input mode it should be tied to GND or left unconnected. |
| 23 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 24 | NC | unconnected | No connect; do not connect this pin and leave it floating. |
| 25 | Thermal Pad | passive | Exposed pad (from the footprint; not named in the datasheet pin table). |
