MK1726-01A
Low EMI Clock Generator
Description
The MK1726-01A generates a low EMI output clock
from a clock or crystal input. The part is designed to
dither the LCD interface clock for PDAs, printers,
scanners, modems, copiers, and others. Using ICS’
proprietary mix of analog and digital Phase-Locked
Loop (PLL) technology, the device spreads the
frequency spectrum of the output, reducing the
frequency amplitude peaks by several dB. The
MK1726-01A offers both centered and down spread
from a high-speed clock input.
ICS offers many other clocks for computers and
computer peripherals. Consult us when you need to
remove crystals and oscillators from your board.

MK1726-01A
Low EMI Clock Generator
External Components
The MK1726-01A requires a minimum number of
external components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 7 and 2, 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.
3) 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 MK1726-01A. This includes signal
traces just underneath the device, or on layers adjacent
to the ground plane layer used by the device.
Crystal Information
The crystal used should be a fundamental mode (do
not use third overtone), parallel resonant. Crystal
capacitors should be connected from pins X1 to ground
and X2 to ground to optimize the initial accuracy. The
value of these capacitors is given by the following
equation:
Crystal caps (pF) = (C
L
- 6) x 2
In the equation, C
L
is the crystal load capacitance. So,
for a crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance, two 20 pF
[(16-6) x 2] capacitors should be used.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output 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.
Tri-level Select Pin Operation
The S1, S0 select pins are tri-level, meaning they have
three separate states to make the selections shown in
the table on page 2. To select the M (mid) level, the
connection to these pins must be eliminated by either
floating them originally, or tri-stating the GPIO pins
which drive the select pins.
Spread Spectrum Profile
The MK1726-01A low EMI clock generator uses an
optimized frequency slew rate algorithm to facilitate
down stream tracking of zero delay buffers and other
PLL devices. The frequency modulation amplitude is
constant with variations of the input frequency.
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 the component side of the board as close to the
VDD pin as possible. No vias should be used between
the 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.
2) To minimize EMI, the 33Ω series termination
resistor(if needed) should be placed close to the clock
output.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK1726-01A. 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.
