system clock synthesizer available. It is the ideal
way to generate clocks for handheld computers,
such as PDAs, PICs, and other devices where
low power is required. Using analog Phase-
Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device
operates from a single 32.768 kHz crystal to
produce the 32.768kHz, 14.318MHz, and serial
communications output clock.
The device has three power down modes for the
14.3 MHz, communications, and 32.768 kHz
clock.
The MK3235 can save board space and cost
even if it only replaces the 32 kHz oscillator
circuitry and one additional surface mount crystal
or oscillator. The extremely low IDD, the ease of
surface mounting, and the power down
capability are added benefits in using the part.
Features
• Input crystal frequency of 32.768 kHz
• Lowest power solution available
• Lowest profile clock solution where height is critical
• Three output clocks
• 3.3V or 5.0V operation
• Duty cycle of 45/55
• 14.3 MHz or 14.3 MHz + Comm clock power downs
• Separate battery supply pin for 32 kHz runs to 2V
• IDD less than 4µA when 32 kHz running
• Packaged in 16 pin narrow SOIC

External Components
The MK3235 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. Decoupling capacitors of
0.1µF should be connected between VDD and GND, and VDD32 and GND, as close to the MK3235 as possible. A
series resistor should be used on the VDD32 supply. A series termination resistor of 33Ω may be used for each
clock output, except the 32.768 kHz. For tuning the real time clock output, use a 32.768 kHz crystal with a load
capacitance of 12.5pF, and connect a 20pF±5% (NPO dielectric) capacitor between each crystal pin and ground.
The 32.768 kHz crystal must be connected as close to the chip as possible. Consult ICS for a recommended
external circuit schematic.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings could cause permanent damage to the
device. Prolonged exposure to levels above the operating limits but below the Absolute Maximums may affect
device reliability.
Note 2: When PD=0 (low) and VDD32 is greater than 2.0V, then the 32kHz oscillator will continue to run on the chip,
but the output is turned off. This allows for a quick power-up (<20ms), while the chip is only consuming
approximately 1µA.
