The SP8716 is a divide by 40/41, programmable dividers with a maximum specified operating frequency of 520MHz over the temperature range -40 °C to + 85 °C.
The signal (clock) inputs are biased internally and require to be capacitor coupled. The output stage is of an unusual low power design featuring dynamic pull-up and optimised for driving CMOS. The 0 to 1 output edge should be used to give the best loop delay performance.

1. The inputs are biased internally and coupled to a signal source with suitable capacitors.
2. If no signal is present the devices will self-oscillate. If this is undesirable, it may be prevented by connecting a 15k resistor from one input to pin 4 (ground). This will reduce the sensitivity.
3. The circuits will operate down to DC, but slew rate must be better than 100V/µs.
4. The output stage is of an unusual design and is intended to interface with CMOS. External pull-up resistors or circuits must not be used.
5. This device is NOT suitable for driving TTL or its derivatives.
