DATASHEET
LOW EMI CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The MK1704A is an upgraded version of the MK1704 and is
recommended for all new designs. It offers more reduction
in the frequency amplitude peaks and will support
frequencies up to 140 MHz.
The MK1704A generates a low EMI output clock from a
clock input. The part is designed to dither the LCD interface
clock or other clocks for flat panel graphics controllers. The
MK1704A uses IDT’s proprietary mixture of analog and
digital Phase Locked Loop (PLL) technology to synthesize
the frequency. It also uses IDT’s patented technique to
spread the frequency spectrum of the output, thereby
reducing the frequency amplitude peaks by several dB.
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
Series Termination Resistor
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. To series terminate a 50Ω trace (a commonly
used trace impedance), place a 33Ω resistor in series with
the clock line, as close to the clock output pin as possible.
The nominal impedance of the clock output is 20Ω.
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via. Distance of the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling
from the device is less critical.
2) The external crystal should be mounted just next to the
device with short traces. The X1 and X2 traces should not
be routed next to each other with minimum spaces, instead
they should be separated and away from other traces.
3) To minimize EMI the 33Ω series termination resistor, if
needed, should be placed close to the clock output.
4) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 3.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on

layers. Other signal traces should be routed away from the
MK1704A. This includes signal traces just underneath the
device, or on layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used
by the device.
Powerup Considerations
To insure proper operation of the spread spectrum
generation circuit, some precautions must be taken in the
implementation of the MK1704A.
1) An input signal should not be applied to ICLK until VDD
is stable. This requirement can easily be met by operating
the MK1704A and the ICLK source from the same power
supply.
2) LEE should not be enabled (taken high) until after the
power supplies and input clock are stable. This requirement
can be met by direct control of LEE by system logic; for
example, a “power good” signal. Another solution is to leave
LEE unconnected to anything but a 0.01
µF
capacitor to
ground. The pullup resistor on LEE will charge the capacitor
and provide approximately a one millisecond delay until
spread spectrum is enabled.
3) If the input frequency is changed during operation,
disable spread spectrum until the input clock stabilizes at
the new frequency. LEE should be disabled for 10
µs
minimum.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK1704A. 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.
