DATASHEET
LOW COST 54 MHZ 3.3 VOLT VCXO
Description
The MK3754D and MK3754B are drop-in replacements for
the MK3754S device. Compared to these earlier devices
the MK3754D and MK3754B offer a wider operating
frequency range and improved power supply noise
rejection.
The MK3754 is ICS’ lowest cost, low jitter, high
performance 3.3 Volt VCXO and PLL clock synthesizer
designed to replace expensive 54 MHz VCXOs. The
on-chip Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator accepts a 0 to
3.3 V input voltage to vary the output clocks by ±100 ppm.
Using ICS’ patented VCXO and analog/digital
Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device uses an
inexpensive external 13.5 MHz pullable crystal input to
produce a 54 MHz output clock.
The MK3754D exhibits a moderate VCXO gain of
120 ppm/V typical, when used with a high quality external
pullable quartz crystal. The MK3754B offers a higher
VCXO gain of 150 ppm/V. The higher intrinsic VCXO gain
of the MK3754B may help compensate for the reduced
pullability of a low quality crystal used in some applications.
However, higher VCXO gain may also increase clock output
phase noise.
MK3754
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 MK3754 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
as possible and should be on the same side of the PCB as
the MK3754. There should be no via’s between the crystal
pins and the X1 and X2 device pins. There should be no
signal traces underneath or close to the crystal.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01 µF must be connected
between VDD (pin 2) and GND (pin 4), 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.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed
capacitors, one between X1 and ground, and another
between X2 and ground. Stuffing of these capacitors on the
PCB is optional. 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 MK3754 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
MK3754 incorporates on-chip variable load capacitors that
“pull” (change) the frequency of the crystal. The crystal
specified for use with the MK3754 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 MK3754. 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.
