MK2049-34
3.3 Volt Communications Clock VCXO PLL
Description
The MK2049-34 is a VCXO Phased Locked Loop (PLL)
based clock synthesizer that accepts multiple input
frequencies. With an 8 kHz clock input as a reference,
the MK2049-34 generates T1, E1, T3, E3, ISDN, xDSL,
and other communications frequencies. This allows for
the generation of clocks frequency-locked and
phase-locked to an 8 kHz backplane clock, simplifying
clock synchronization in communications systems. The
MK2409-34 can also accept a T1 or E1 input clock and
provide the same output for loop timing. All outputs are
frequency locked together and to the input.
This part also has a jitter-attenuated Buffer capability.
In this mode, the MK2049-34 is ideal for filtering jitter
from 27 MHz video clocks or other clocks with high
jitter.
ICS can customize these devices for many other
different frequencies.

Operating Modes
The MK2049-34 has three operating modes: External, Loop Timing, and Buffer. Although each mode uses an input
clock to generate various output clocks, there are important differences in their input and crystal requirements.
External Mode
The MK2049-34 accepts an external 8 kHz clock and will produce a number of common communication clock
frequencies. The 8 kHz input clock does not need to have a 50% duty cycle; a “high” or “on” pulse as narrow as 10
ns is acceptable. In the MK2049-34, the rising edges of CLK and CLK/2 are both aligned with the rising edge of the
8 kHz ICLK; refer to Figure 1 on page 4 for more details.
Loop Timing Mode
This mode can be used to remove the jitter from standard high-frequency communication clocks. For T1 and E1
inputs, the CLK/2 output will be the same as the input frequency, with CLK at twice the input frequency.

3.3 Volt Communications Clock VCXO PLL
Buffer Mode
Unlike the other two modes that accept only a single specified input frequency, Buffer Mode will accept a wider
range of input clocks. The input jitter is attenuated and the outputs on CLK and CLK/2 also provide the option of
getting x1, x2, x4, or 1/2 of the input frequency. For example, this mode can be used to remove the jitter from a 27
MHz clock, generating low-jitter 27 MHz and 13.5 MHz outputs.
Input and Output Synchronization
As shown in the tables on page 3, the MK2049-34 offers a Zero Delay feature in all selections. There is an internal
feedback path between ICLK and the output clocks, providing a fixed phase relationship between the input and
output, a requirement in many communication systems.
The rising edge of ICLK will be aligned with the rising edges of CLK and CLK/2 (8 kHz is used in this illustration, but
the same is true for the selections in the Loop Timing and Buffer Modes).

Measuring Zero Delay on the MK2049
The MK2049-34 produces low-jitter output clocks. In addition, this part has a very low bandwidth on the order of a
few Hertz. Since most 8 kHz input clocks will have high jitter, this can make measuring the input-to-output skew
(zero delay feature) very difficult. The MK2049 is designed to reject the input jitter; when the input and output clocks
are both displayed on an oscilloscope, they may
appear
not to be locked because the scope trigger point is
constantly changing with the input jitter. In fact, the input and output clocks probably are locked and the MK2049 will
have zero delay to the average position of the 8 kHz input clock. In order to see this clearly, a low jitter 8 kHz input
clock is necessary. Most lab frequency sources are NOT SUITABLE for this since they have high jitter at low
frequencies.
Frequency Locking to the Input
In all modes, the output clocks are frequency-locked to the input. The outputs will remain at the specified output
frequency as long as the combined variation of the input frequency and the crystal does not exceed 100 ppm. For
example, if the crystal can vary ±40 ppm (initial accuracy + temperature + aging), then the input frequency can vary
by up to 60 ppm and still have the output clock remain frequency-locked.

PC Board Layout
A proper board layout is critical to the successful use of the MK2049. In particular, the CAP1 and CAP2 pins are
very sensitive to noise and leakage (CAP2 at pin 18 is the most sensitive). Traces must be as short as possible and
the two capacitors and resistor must be mounted next to the device as shown below. The capacitor shown between
pins 15 and 17, and the one between pins 4 and 7 are the power supply decoupling capacitors. The high frequency
output clocks on pins 8 and 9 should have a series termination of 33Ω connected close to the pin. Additional
improvements will come from keeping all components on the same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers, and routing other signals away from the MK2049. You may also refer to application note MAN05 for
additional suggestions on layout of the crystal selection.
The crystal traces should include pads for small capacitors from X1 and X2 to ground. These are used to adjust the
stray capacitance of the board to match the crystal load capacitance. The typical telecom reference frequency is
accurate to much less than 1 ppm, so the MK2049 may lock and run properly even if the board capacitance is not
adjusted with these fixed capacitors. However, ICS recommends that the adjustment capacitors be included to
minimize the effects of variation in individual crystals, temperature, and aging. The value of these capacitors
(typically 0 - 4 pF) is determined once for a given board layout, using the procedure found in application note
MAN05 (http://www.icst.com/products/summary/man05.htm).
