DATASHEET
QUAD OUTPUT SPREAD SPECTRUM CLOCK GENERATOR
Description
The MK1725 generates 4 high-quality, high-frequency
spread spectrum clock outputs. It is designed to replace
spread spectrum clock generators and a buffer in many
digital consumer applications. Using IDT’s patented Phase
Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device runs from a lower
frequency clock or crystal input.
The MK1725 has a 16 location ROM table which provides
maximum flexibility for system designers. The chip also has
a power down pin which can be used to reduce power.

External Components
Decoupling Capacitor
As with any high performance mixed-signal IC, the MK1725
must be isolated from system power supply noise to perform
optimally.
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between each VDD and the PCB ground plane.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitors should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between the decoupling
capacitors and VDD pins. The PCB trace to VDD pins
should be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB
trace to the ground via.
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 33
Ω
series termination resistor (if
needed) should be placed close to the clock outputs.
4) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers. Other signal traces should be routed away from the
MK1725. This includes signal traces just underneath the
device, or on layers adjacent to the ground plane layer used
by the device.
Series Termination Resistor
Clock output traces over one inch should use series
termination. To series terminate a 50
Ω
trace (a commonly
used trace impedance), place a 33
Ω
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
Ω
.
Crystal Load Capacitors
The device crystal connections should include pads for
small capacitors from X1 to ground and from X2 to ground.
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) between the crystal and device. Crystal
capacitors must be connected from each of the pins X1 and
X2 to ground.
The value (in pF) of these crystal caps should equal (C
L
-6)*2. In this equation, C
L
= crystal load capacitance in pF.
Example: For a crystal with an 18 pF load capacitance, each
crystal capacitor would be 24 pF [(18-6) x 2 = 24].

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK1725. 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.
