Power Dissipation, Termination, and Operating
Frequency
As with all clock drivers, the power dissipated by the
MK74CG117B is affected by the external loading on the
output pins. This consists of the capacitance of the load that
is being driven, as well as the PC board trace itself. Since
this capacitance must be charged and discharged with each
cycle of the output clock, as the frequency goes up. so does
the power required. Operating below the specified
maximum output clock frequency shown in Table 2 will keep
the MK74CG117B power dissipation within acceptable
limits.
External series termination resistors must be used in series
with each output. These resistors serve two purposes: The
first is to match the source impedance to the line (PC board
trace) that is being driven. This will minimize reflections that
cause non-linear transitions on the output clock waveform.
The output impedance of the MK74CG117B is
approximately 20Ω; assuming a 50Ω line, then a 33Ω
resistor should be used at each output as shown in Figure 1.

Frequencies in MHz)
Figure 1. External Termination
As speeds rise, the limiting factor in device operation
becomes the power generated by having a large number of
drivers in one package. Using the external termination
resistors reduces the power dissipated within the device,
allowing output frequencies up to 100 MHz.
Note that the maximum operating frequency of the
MK74CG117A is determined by the Mode selected from
Table 1 and the Multiplier selected from Table 2. For output
frequencies above 83.3 MHz, all 16 outputs must be at the
same frequency (M1=M0=1).
When operating with a combination of 1X and 0.5X outputs,
the output frequency cannot exceed 83.3 MHz.
