DATASHEET
3.3 VOLT COMMUNICATIONS CLOCK PLL
Description
The MK2049-45A is a dual Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
device which can provide frequency synthesis and jitter
attenuation. The first PLL is VCXO based and uses a
pullable crystal to track signal wander and attenuate input
jitter. The second PLL is a translator for frequency
multiplication. Basic configuration is determined by a
Mode/Frequency Selection Table. Loop bandwidth and
damping factor are programmable via external loop filter
component selection.
Buffer Mode accepts a 10 to 50 MHz input and will provide
a jitter attenuated output at 0.5 x ICLK, 1 x ICLK or 2 x
ICLK. In this mode the MK2049-45A is ideal for filtering jitter
from high frequency clocks.
In External Mode, ICLK accepts an 8 kHz clock and will
produce output frequencies from a table of common
communciations clock rates, CLK and CLK/2. This allows
for the generation of clocks frequency-locked to an 8 kHz
backplane clock, simplifying clock synchronization in
communications systems.
The MK2049-45A can be dynamically switched between T1,
E1, T3, E3 outputs with the same 24.576 MHz crystal.
IDT can customize these devices for many other different
frequencies. Contact your IDT representative for more
details.

Functional Description
The MK2049-45A is a clock generator IC that generates an
output clock directly from an internal VCXO circuit which
works in conjunction with an external quartz crystal. The
VCXO is controlled by an internal PLL (Phase Locked Loop)
circuit, enabling the device to perform clock regeneration
from an input reference clock. The MK2049-45A is
configured to provide a high frequency communications
reference clock output from an 8 kHz input clock or to jitter
attenuate and buffer a high frequency input clock. There are
14 selectable output frequencies and two buffer mode
selections. Please refer to the Output Clock Selection Table
on Page 2.
Most typical PLL clock devices use an internal VCO (Voltage
Controlled Oscillator) for output clock generation. By using
a VCXO with an external crystal, the MK2049-45A is able to

generate a low jitter, low phase-noise output clock within a
low bandwidth PLL. This serves to provide input clock jitter
attenuation and enables stable operation with a low
frequency reference clock.
The VCXO circuit requires an external pullable crystal for
operation. External loop filter components enable a PLL
configuration with low loop bandwidth.
To obtain a list of qualified crystal devices please visit our
website.
PLL Loop Filter Components
All analog PLL circuits use a loop filter to establish operating
stability. The MK2049-45A uses external loop filter
components for the following reasons:
1) Larger loop filter capacitor values can be used, allowing
a lower loop bandwidth. This enables the use of lower input
clock reference frequencies and also input clock jitter
attenuation capabilities. Larger loop filter capacitors also
allow higher loop damping factors when less passband
peaking is desired.
2) The loop filter values can be user selected to optimize
loop response characteristics for a given application.
Referencing the External Component Schematic on this
page, the external loop filter is made up of components R
S
,
C

and C

establishes PLL charge pump current and
therefore influences loop filter characteristics.
Tools for optimizing the values of these four components
can be found on our web site.
Application Information
Output Frequency Configuration
The MK2049-45A is configured to generate a set of output
frequencies from an 8 kHz input clock. Please refer to the
Output Clock Selection Table on Page 2. Input bits FS3:0
are set according to this table, as is the external crystal
frequency. Please refer to the Quartz Crystal section on this
page regarding external crystal requirements.
Quartz Crystal
It is important that the correct type of quartz crystal is used
with the MK2049-45A. Failure to do so may result in reduced
frequency pullability range, inability of the loop to lock, or
excessive output phase jitter.
The MK2049-45A operates by phase-locking the VCXO
circuit to the input signal of the selected ICLK input. The
VCXO consists of the external crystal and the integrated
VCXO oscillator circuit. To achieve the best performance
and reliability, a crystal device with the recommended
parameters (shown below) must be used, and the layout
guidelines discussed in the PCB Layout Recommendations
section must be followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is determined
by its cut and by the external load capacitance. The
MK2049-45A incorporates variable load capacitors on-chip
which “pull”, or change, the frequency of the crystal. The
crystals specified for use with the MK2049-45A are
designed to have zero frequency error when the total of
on-chip + stray capacitance is 14 pF. To achieve this, the
layout should use short traces between the MK2049-45A
and the crystal.

parameters in the IDT application note, MAN05.

Crystal Load Capacitors
The device crystal connections should include pads for
small capacitors from X1 to ground and from X2 to ground,
shown as C
L
in the External Component Schematic. These
capacitors are used to adjust the stray capacitance of the
board to match the nominally required crystal load
capacitance. Because load capacitance can only be
increased in this trimming process, it is important to keep
stray capacitance to a minimum by using very short PCB
traces (and no vias) been the crystal and device.
Please refer to MAN05 for the procedure to determine
capacitor values.
Special considerations must be made in choosing loop
components C
S
and C
P
. These recommendations can be
found on our web site.
Series Termination Resistor
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. To series terminate a 50 trace (a commonly
used trace impedance), place a 33 resistor in series with
the clock line, as close to the clock output pin as possible.
The nominal impedance of the clock output is 20. (The
optional series termination resistor is not shown in the
External Component Schematic.)
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed. Please
also refer to the Recommended PCB Layout drawing on
Page 7.
1) Each 0.01 µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No via’s 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 loop filter components must also be placed close to
the CHGP and VIN pins. C
P
should be closest to the device.
Coupling of noise from other system signal traces should be
Decoupling Capacitors
As with any high performance mixed-signal IC, the
MK2049-45A must be isolated from system power supply
noise to perform optimally.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane. To further
guard against interfering system supply noise, the
MK2049-45A should use one common connection to the
PCB power plane as shown in the diagram on the next page.
The ferrite bead and bulk capacitor help reduce lower
frequency noise in the supply that can lead to output clock
phase modulation.
