Hi Tracey,
Our customer doesnt use CLKOUT signal. It means that the pin is opened condition always.
He would like to check whether AD5700 fail or not.
If AD5700 work well, then he can catch the clock signal from CLKOUT pin.
But AD5700 doesnt work, then CLKOUT may stop the signal.
I think this way seems no problem.
But if you have the problem except for increase current as your datasheet show, please let me know.
Thanks Kaos
