DATASHEET
LOW EMI CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The MK5811A device generates a low EMI output clock
from a clock or crystal input. The device is designed to
dither a high emissions clock to lower EMI in consumer
applications. Using IDT’s proprietary mix of analog and
digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL) technology, the device
spreads the frequency spectrum of the output and reduces
the frequency amplitude peaks by several dB. The
MK5811A offers both centered and down spread from a
high-speed clock input.
For different multiplier configurations, use the MK5812 (2x)
or MK5814 (4x).
IDT offers many other clocks for computers and computer
peripherals. Consult IDT when you need to remove crystals
and oscillators from your board.

External Components
The MK5811A requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, observe the following guidelines:
1) Mount the 0.01µF decoupling capacitor on the
component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between the decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to the VDD pin and
the PCB trace to the ground via should be kept as short as
possible.
2) To minimize EMI, place the 20 series-termination
resistor (if needed) close to the clock output.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, thus minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed away
from the MK5811A device. This includes signal traces
located underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 7 and 2. Connect the
capacitor as close to these pins as possible. For optimum
device performance, mount the decoupling capacitor on the
component side of the PCB. Avoid the use of vias in the
decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
Use series termination when the PCB trace between the
clock output and the load is over 1 inch. To series terminate
a 50 trace (a commonly used trace impedance), place a
20 resistor in series with the clock line. Place the resistor
as close to the clock output pin as possible. The nominal
impedance of the clock output is 30.
Tri-level Select Pin Operation
The S1 and S0 select pins are tri-level, meaning that they
have three separate states to make the selections shown in
the table on page 2. To select the M (mid) level, the
connection to these pins must be eliminated by either
floating them originally, or tri-stating the GPIO pins which
drive the select pins.
Crystal Information
The crystal used should be a fundamental mode (do not use
third overtone), parallel resonant crystal. To optimize the
initial accuracy, connect crystal capacitors from pins X1 to
ground and X2 to ground. The value of these capacitors is
given by the following equation:
Crystal caps (pF) = (C
L
- 6) x 2
In the equation, C
L
is the crystal load capacitance. For
example, a crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance uses two
20 pF [(16-6) x 2] capacitors.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK5811A. These ratings, which are
standard values for IDT commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of the device, at
these or any other conditions, above those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied.
Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can affect product reliability. Electrical
parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating temperature range.
