DATASHEET
3.3 VOLT COMMUNICATIONS CLOCK PLL
Description
The MK2049-36 is a Phased Locked Loop (PLL) based
clock synthesizer that accepts multiple input frequencies.
With an 8 kHz clock input as a reference, the MK2049-36
generates T1, E1, T3, E3, OC3 and other communications
frequencies. This allows for the generation of clocks
frequency-locked to an 8 kHz backplane clock, simplifying
clock synchronization in communications systems.
This part also has a jitter-attenuated Buffer capability. In this
mode, the MK2049-36 is ideal for filtering jitter from clocks
with high jitter.
IDT can customize these devices for many other different
frequencies. Contact your IDT representative for more
details.

Operating Modes
The MK2049-36 has two operating modes: External and Buffer. Although both modes use an input clock to generate various
output clocks, there are important differences in their input and crystal requirements.
External Mode
The MK2049-36 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.
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.

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, IDT 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 on the IDT web site.

External Component Selection
The MK2049-36 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of 0.01μF
must be connected between VDD and GND pins close to the chip (especially pins 4 and 7, 15 and 17), and 33Ω series
terminating resistors should be used on clock outputs with traces longer than one inch (assuming 50Ω traces). The selection
of additional external components is described in the following sections.

Loop Filter
Information on how to configure the external loop filter (connected between pins CAP1 and CAP2) can be found on our web
site at www.idt.com/?app=calculators&source=support_menu.
Crystal Operation
The MK2049-36 operates by phase locking the input signal to a VCXO which consists of the recommended pullable VCXO
crystals and the integrated VCXO oscillator circuit on the MK2049. To achieve the best performance and reliability, the
layout guidelines shown on the previous page should be closely followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is determined by its cut and by the load capacitors connected to it. The
MK2049 has variable load capacitors on-chip which “pull” or change the frequency of the crystal. External stray capacitance
must be kept to a minimum to ensure maximum pullability of the crystal. To achieve this, the layout should use short traces
between the MK2049 and the crystal.
For the VCXO to operate correctly, a pullable crystal must be used. For more information, including a list of approved
crystals, please refer to application note MAN05 on the IDT web site.
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK2049-36. 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.
