DATASHEET
LOW COST 24 TO 36 MHZ 3.3 VOLT VCXO
Description
The MK3727D combines the functions of a VCXO (Voltage
Controlled Crystal Oscillator) and PLL (Phase Locked
Loop) frequency doubler onto a single chip. Used in
conjunction with an external pullable quartz crystal, this
monolithic integrated circuit replaces more costly hybrid
(canned) VCXO devices. The MK3727D is designed
primarily for data and clock recovery applications within end
products such as ADSL modems, set-top box receivers,
and telecom systems.
The frequency of the on-chip VCXO is adjusted by an
external control voltage input into pin VIN. Because VIN is a
high impedance input, it can be driven directly from an
PWM RC integrator circuit. Frequency output increases
with VIN voltage input. The usable range of VIN is 0 to 3 V.

External Component Selection
The MK3727D requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
the MK3727D. There should be no vias between the crystal
pins and the X1 and X2 device pins. There should be no
signal traces underneath or close to the crystal.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND, as close to these pins as possible.
For optimum device performance, the decoupling capacitor
should be mounted on the component side of the PCB.
Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed
capacitors, one between X1 and ground, and another
between X2 and ground. The need for these capacitors is
determined at system prototype evaluation, and is
influenced by the particular crystal used (manufacture and
frequency) and by PCB layout. The typical required
capacitor value is 1 to 4 pF.
The procedure for determining the value of these capacitors
can be found in application note MAN05.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output (CLK, pin 5)
and the load is over 1 inch, series termination should be
used. 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.
Quartz Crystal
The MK3727D VCXO function consists of the external
crystal and the integrated VCXO oscillator circuit. To assure
the best system performance (frequency pull range) and
reliability, a crystal device with the recommended
parameters (shown below) must be used, and the layout
guidelines discussed in the following section shown must be
followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is determined
by its “cut” and by the load capacitors connected to it. The
MK3727D incorporates on-chip variable load capacitors that
“pull” (change) the frequency of the crystal. The crystal
specified for use with the MK3727D is designed to have zero
frequency error when the total of on-chip + stray
capacitance is
14 pF.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK3727D. These ratings, which are
standard values for ICS 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.
