However, there are other options of achieving similar results such as option number two, a simple crystal and clock generator can be used to achieve the same results. As shown in option three, by using Diodes Incorporated FlexOut clock generator a designer can combine all of the requirements into a single device. All three options shown achieve the same result but each comes with its own tradeoffs in terms of component count and cost. By working with a total timing solution vendor, designers have access to all the available options and will not get cornered into using only quartz solutions or silicon IC solutions. This allows the designer to make a decision based on what is best for their application.
