MK2049-01
Communications Clock PLL
Description
The MK2049 is a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) based
clock synthesizer, which accepts an 8 kHz clock
input as a reference and generates T1, E1, T3, E3,
and OC3 frequencies. The device can also accept a
T1, E1, T3, or E3 input clock and provide the
same output for loop timing. All outputs are
frequency locked together and to the input. This
allows for the generation of locked clocks to an
8 kHz backplane clock, simplifying clock
distribution in communications systems.
MicroClock can customize this device for many
other different frequencies. Contact your
MicroClock representative for more details.
For a fixed input-output phase relationship, refer
to the MK2049-02, -03, or -3x. The MK2049-3x
are 3.3 V devices.

MK2049-01
Communications Clock PLL
OPERATING MODES
The MK2049-01 has two operating modes: External and Loop Timing. Although both modes use an input
clock to generate various output clocks, there are important differences in their input requirements.
External Mode
The MK2049-01 accepts an external 8 kHz clock and will produce a number of common communication
clock frequencies. The 8 kHz input clock does not need to have a 50% duty cycle; a “high” or “on” pulse as
narrow as 10 ns is acceptable.
Loop Timing Mode
This mode can be used to remove the jitter from standard high-frequency communication clocks. For T1
and E1 inputs, the CLK1 output will be the same as the input frequency, with CLK2 at twice the input
frequency. For T3 and E3 inputs, CLK1 will be 1/2 the input frequency and CLK2 will be the same as the
input frequency.
FREQUENCY LOCKING TO THE INPUT
In both modes, the output clocks are frequency-locked to the input. The output will remain at the specified
output frequency as long as the combined variation of the input frequency and the crystal does not exceed
100 ppm. For example, if the crystal can vary ±40 ppm (initial accuracy + temperature + aging), then the
input frequency can vary by up to 60 ppm and still have the output clock remain frequency-locked.
INPUT AND OUTPUT SYNCHRONIZATION
The rising edges of CLK1 and CLK2 do not have a fixed phase alignment with the rising edge of ICLK.
Each time the device is powered-up, the phase relationship could change. Refer to one of the other
MK2049 versions (e.g., MK2049-02, -03, -34) if input-output phase alignment is important in your
application.

MK2049-01
Communications Clock PLL
LAYOUT AND EXTERNAL COMPONENTS
The MK2049-01 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling
capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected between VDD and GND pins close to the chip (especially pins 4
and 7, 15 and 17), and 33
Ω
series terminating resistors should be used on clock outputs with traces longer
than 1 inch (assuming 50
Ω
traces). The loop filter components should be connected as close to the chip as
possible. Refer to the next section for more information.
PC Board Layout
A proper board layout is critical to the successful use of the MK2049. In particular, the CAP1 and CAP2 pins
are very sensitive to noise and leakage (CAP2 at pin 18 is the most sensitive). Traces must be as short as
possible and the two capacitors and resistor must be mounted next to the device as shown below. The
capacitor shown between pins 15 and 17, and the one between pins 5 and 7 are the power supply decoupling
capacitors. The high frequency output clocks on pins 8 and 9 should have a series termination of 33
Ω
connected close to the pin. Additional improvements will come from keeping all components on the same
side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal layers, and routing other signals away from the
MK2049. You may also refer to MAN05 for additional suggestions on layout of the crystal section.
The crystal traces should include pads for small capacitors from X1 and X2 to ground; these are used to
adjust the stray capacitance of the board to match the crystal load capacitance. The typical telecom reference
frequency is accurate to much less than 1 ppm, so the MK2049 may lock and run properly even if the board
capacitance is not adjusted with these fixed capacitors. However, ICS MicroClock recommends that the
adjustment capacitors be included to minimize the effects of variation in individual crystals, temperature,
and aging. The value of these capacitors (typically 0-4 pF) is determined once for a given board layout,
using the procedure described later in this section, titled “Determining the Crystal Frequency Adjustment
Capacitors”.
