DATASHEET
SPREAD SPECTRUM MULTIPLIER CLOCK
Description
The MK1714-01 is a low cost, high performance clock
synthesizer with selectable multipliers and percentages of
spread spectrum designed to generate high frequency
clocks with low EMI. Using analog/digital Phase Locked
Loop (PLL) techniques, the device accepts an inexpensive,
fundamental mode, parallel resonant crystal or clock input
to produce a spread or dithered output. This reduces the
EMI amplitude peaks at the odd harmonics by several dB.
The OE pin places both outputs into a high impedance state
for board level testing. The PD pin powers down the entire
chip and the outputs are held low.
See the MK1714-02 for other selections on input ranges and
spreads.

Direction: C = center spread, D = down spread, DC = down + center spread. Amount = spread amount. For example, for a 40 MHz output
clock spread down 1%, the lowest frequency is 39.60 MHz.

SPREAD SPECTRUM MULTIPLIER CLOCK

External Components
The MK1714-01 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
1) The 0.01µF decoupling capacitor should be mounted on
the component side of the board as close to the VDD pin as
possible. No vias should be used between decoupling
capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace to VDD pin should
be kept as short as possible, as should the PCB trace to the
ground via. Distance of the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling
from the device is less critical.
2) The external crystal should be mounted just next to the
device with short traces. The X1 and X2 traces should not
be routed next to each other with minimum spaces, instead
they should be separated and away from other traces.
3) To minimize EMI the 33Ω series termination resistor, if
needed, should be placed close to the clock output.
4) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other signal
layers (the ferrite bead and bulk decoupling capacitor can be
mounted on the back). Other signal traces should be routed
away from the MK1714-01. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the ground
plane layer used by the device.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD and GND, as close to these pins 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.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock outputs and the
loads are 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
.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
Crystal Load Capacitors
The device crystal connections should include pads for
small capacitors from X1 to ground and from X2 to ground.
These capacitors are used to adjust the stray capacitance of
the board to match the nominally required crystal load
capacitance. Because load capacitance can only be
increased in this trimming process, it is important to keep
stray capacitance to a minimum by using very short PCB
traces (and no vias) between the crystal and device. Crystal
capacitors must be connected from each of the pins X1 and
X2 to ground.
The value (in pF) of these crystal caps should equal
(C
L
-6)*2. In this equation, C
L
= crystal load capacitance in
pF. Example: For a crystal with a 16 pF load capacitance,
each crystal capacitor would be
[16 - 6]*2 = 20pF.
If the output frequency is not critical, external load
capacitors are not necessary.
Powerup Considerations
To insure proper operation of the spread spectrum
generation circuit, some precautions must be taken in the
implementation of the MK1714-01.
1) An input signal should not be applied to X1 until VDD is
stable (within 10% of its final value). This requirement can
be easily met by operating the MK1714-01 and the X1
source from the same power supply. This requirement is not
applicable if a crystal is used.
2) LEE should not be enabled (taken high) until after the
power supplies and input clock are stable. This requirement
can be met by direct control of LEE by system logic; for
example, a “power good” signal. Another solution is to leave
LEE unconnected but place a 0.01µF capacitor to ground.
The pull-up resistor on LEE will charge the capacitor and
provide approximately a 700µs delay until spread spectrum
is enabled.
3) If the input frequency is changed during operation,
disable spread spectrum until the input clock stabilizes at
the new frequency.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK1714-01. 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.
