Description
The MK3723 series of devices includes the original
MK3723S and the new MK3723D. The MK3723D is a
drop-in replacement for the MK3723S device.
Compared to the earlier device, the MK3723D offers a
wider operating frequency range and improved power
supply noise rejection.
The MK3723 is ICS’ low cost, low jitter, high
performance 3.3 volt VCXO designed to replace
expensive discrete VCXO modules. The on-chip
Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator accepts a 0 to
3.3V input voltage to cause the output clocks to vary by
±100 ppm. Using ICS’ patented VCXO techniques, the
device uses an inexpensive external pullable crystal in
the range of 16 - 28 MHz to produce a VCXO output
clock that is a divide by 2, 4, 6, or 8 of the crystal
frequency.
ICS manufactures the largest variety of Set-Top Box
and multimedia clock synthesizers for all applications.
If more clock outputs are needed, see the MK3732 or
MK377x family of parts. Consult ICS to eliminate
VCXOs, crystals, and oscillators from your board.
The frequency of the on-chip VCXO is adjusted by an
external control voltage input into pin VIN. Because
VIN is a high impedance input, it can be driven directly
from an PWM RC integrator circuit.

External Component Selection
The MK3723 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitors
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF should be connected
between VDD and GND on pin 2 and 4, as close to the
MK3723 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.
The external crystal must be connected as close to the
chip as possible and should be on the same side of the
PCB as the MK3723. There should be no via’s between
the crystal pins and the X1 and X2 device pins. There
should be no signal traces underneath or close to the
crystal. See application note MAN05.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed
capacitors, one between X1 and ground, and another
between X2 and ground. Stuffing of these capacitors
on the PCB is optional. The need for these capacitors
is determined at system prototype evaluation, and is
influenced by the particular crystal used (manufacture
and frequency) and by PCB layout. The typical required
capacitor value is 1 to 4 pF.
To determine the need for and value of the crystal
adjustment capacitors, you will need a PC board of
your final layout, a frequency counter capable of about
1 ppm resolution and accuracy, two power supplies,
and some samples of the crystals which you plan to
use in production, along with measured initial accuracy
for each crystal at the specified crystal load
capacitance, CL.
To determine the value of the crystal capacitors:
1. Connect VDD of the MK3723 to 3.3V. Connect pin 3
of the MK3723 to the second power supply. Adjust the
voltage on pin 3 to 0V. Measure and record the
frequency of the CLK output.
2. Adjust the voltage on pin 3 to 3.3V. Measure and
record the frequency of the same output.
To calculate the centering error:
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.
Quartz Crystal
The MK3723 VCXO function consists of the external
crystal and the integrated VCXO oscillator circuit. To
assure the best system performance (frequency pull
range) and reliability, a crystal device with the
recommended parameters (shown below) must be
used, and the layout guidelines discussed in the
following section must be followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is
determined by its “cut” and by the load capacitors
connected to it. The MK3723 incorporates on-chip
variable load capacitors that “pull” (change) the
frequency of the crystal. The crystal specified for use
with the MK3723 is designed to have zero frequency
error when the total of on-chip + stray capacitance is
14pF.

If the centering error is less than ±25 ppm, no
adjustment is needed. If the centering error is more
than 25ppm negative, the PC board has excessive
stray capacitance and a new PCB layout should be
considered to reduce stray capacitance. (Alternately,
the crystal may be re-specified to a higher load
capacitance. Contact ICS MicroClock for details.) If the
centering error is more than 25ppm positive, add
identical fixed centering capacitors from each crystal
pin to ground. The value for each of these caps (in pF)
is given by:
External Capacitor =
2 x (centering error)/(trim sensitivity)
Trim sensitivity is a parameter which can be supplied
by your crystal vendor. If you do not know the value,
assume it is 30 ppm/pF. After any changes, repeat the
measurement to verify that the remaining error is
acceptably low (typically less than ±25ppm).
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK3723. 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.
