DATASHEET
VCXO-BASED UNIVERSAL CLOCK TRANSLATOR
Description
The MK2069-04 is a VCXO (Voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator) based clock generator that features a PLL
(Phase-Locked Loop) input reference divider and feedback
divider that have a wide numeric range selectable by the
user. This enables a complex PLL multiplication ratio that
can be used for translation between clock frequency
standards.
The on-chip VCXO produces a stable, low jitter output clock
using a phase detector frequency down to 8 kHz or lower.
This means the MK2069-04 can translate between clock
frequencies that have a low common denominator, such as
the 8 kHz frame clock common with telecom standards. The
MK2069-04 also provides jitter attenuation of the input
clock and can accept a low input frequency as well.
The device is optimized for user configurability by providing
access to all major PLL divider functions. No power-up
programming is needed as configuration is pin selected.
External VCXO loop filter components provide an additional
level of user configurability.
The MK2069-04 includes a lock detector (LD) output that
serves as a clock status monitor. The clear (CLR) input
enables rapid synchronization to the phase of a newly
selected input clock.

Functional Description
The MK2069-04 is a PLL (Phase Locked Loop) based clock
generator that generates output clocks synchronized to an
input reference clock. It contains two cascaded PLL’s with
user selectable divider ratios.
The first PLL is VCXO-based and uses an external pullable
crystal as part of the normal “VCO” (voltage controlled
oscillator) function of the PLL. The use of a VCXO assures
a low phase noise clock source even when a low PLL loop
bandwidth is implemented. A low loop bandwidth is needed
when the input reference frequency at the phase detector is
low, or when jitter attenuation of the input reference is
desired.
The second PLL is used to translate or multiply the
frequency of the VCXO PLL which has a maximum output
frequency of 27 MHz. This second PLL, or Translator PLL,
uses an on-chip VCO circuit that can provide an output clock
up to 160 MHz. The Translator PLL uses a high loop
bandwidth (typically greater than 1 MHz) to assure stability
of the clock output generated by the VCO. It requires a
stable, high frequency input reference which is provided by
the VCXO.
The divide values of the divider blocks within both PLLs are
set by device pin configuration. This enables the system
designer to define the following:
•
•
•
•
•
Input clock frequency
VCXO crystal frequency
VCLK output frequency
RCLK output frequency, which is also the phase detector
frequency of the VCXO PLL.
TCLK output frequency
Any unused clock or logic outputs can be tri-stated to reduce
interference (jitter, phase noise) on other clock outputs.
Outputs can also be tri-stated for system testing purposes.
External components are used to configure the VCXO PLL
loop response. This serves to maximize loop stability and to
achieve the desired input clock jitter attenuation
characteristics.

Application Information
The MK2069-04 is a mixed analog / digital integrated circuit
that is sensitive to PCB (printed circuit board) layout and
external component selection. Used properly, the device will
provide the same high performance expected from a
canned VCXO-based hybrid timing device, but at a lower
cost. To help avoid unexpected problems, the guidance
provided in the sections below should be followed.
Setting VCLK Output Frequency
The frequency of the VCLK output is determined by the
following relationship:
FV Divider
f(VCLK) = -------------------------------------------------------------------
×
f(ICLK)
RPV Divider
×
RV Divider
Where:
FV Divider = 1 to 4096
RPV Divider = 1 or 8
RV Divider = 2 to 4097
Because the RPV divider inherently has a higher speed of
operation than the RV divider, the RPV divider should be set
to 8 when this factor is included in the RPV x RV divisor
combination.
VCLK output frequency range is set by the allowable
frequency range of the external VCXO crystal and by the
internal VCXO divider selections:
f(VCLK)
f
(
VCXO
)
=
----------------------
-
SV Divider
Where:
F(VCXO) = F(External Crystal) = 8 to 27 MHz
SV Divider = 1,2,4,6,8,10,12 or 16
A higher crystal frequency will generally produce lower
phase noise and therefore is preferred. A crystal frequency
between 13.5 MHz and 27 MHz is recommended.
Because VCLK is generated by the external crystal, the
tracking range of VCLK in a given configuration is limited by
