previously selected input. The phase compensation circuit
allows the VCXO PLL to quickly lock to the new input phase
without producing extra clock cycles or clock wander,
assuming the new clock is at the same frequency.
Input pin CLR
controls the phase compensation circuit. CLR
must remain high for normal operation. When used in
conjunction with the input MUX select pins, CLR
should be
brought low prior to MUX reselection, then returned high
after MUX reselection. This prevents the VCXO PLL from
attempting to lock to the new input clock phase associated
with the input clock.
When CLR
is high, the VCXO PLL operates normally.
When CLR
is low, the VCXO PLL charge pump output is
inactivated which means that no charge pump correction
pulses are provided to the loop filter. During this time, the
VCXO frequency is held constant by the residual charge or
voltage on the PLL loop filter, regardless of the input clock
condition. However, the VCXO frequency will drift over time,
eventually to the minimum pull range of the crystal, due to
leak-off of the loop filter charge. This means that CLR
can
provide a holdover function, but only for a very short
duration, typically in milliseconds.
Upon bringing CLR
high, the FV Divider is reset and begins
counting upon with the first positive edge of the new input
clock, and the charge pump is re-activated. By resetting the
FV Divider, the memory of the previous input clock phase is
removed from the feedback divider, eliminating the
generation of extra VCLK clock cycle that would occur if the
loop was to re-lock under normal means. Lock time is also
reduced, as is the generation of clock wander.
By using CLR
in this fashion VCLK will align to the input
clock phase with only one or two VCLK cycle slips resulting.
When CLR
is not used, the number of VCLK cycle slips can
be as high the FV Divider value.
TCLK is always locked to VCLK regardless of the state of
the CLR
input.
Lock Detection
The MK2069-01 includes a lock detection feature that
indicates lock status of VCLK relative to the selected input
reference clock. When phase lock is achieved (such as
following power-up), the LD output goes high. When phase
lock is lost (such as when the input clock stops, drifts beyond
the pullable range of the crystal, or suddenly shifts in
phase), the LD output goes low.
The definition of a “locked” condition is determined by the
user. LD is high when the VCXO PLL phase detector error
is below the user-defined threshold. This threshold is set by
external components RLD and CLD shown in the Lock
Detection Circuit Diagram, below.
To help guard against false lock indications, the LD pin will
go high only when the phase error is below the set threshold
for 8 consecutive phase detector cycles. The LD pin will go
low when the phase error is above the set threshold for only
1 phase detector cycle.
The lock detector threshold (phase error) is determined by
the following relationship:
(LD Threshold) = 0.6 x R x C
Where:
1 kΩ < R < 1 MΩ (to avoid excessive noise or leakage)
C > 50 pF (to avoid excessive error due to stray
capacitance, which can be as much as 10 pF
including Cin of LDC)
Lock Detector Application example:
The desired maximum allowable loop phase error for a
generated 19.44MHz clock is 100UI which is 5.1 μs.
Solution: 5.1 μs = (0.001 μF) x (8.5 kΩ)
Under ideal conditions, where the VCXO is phase- locked to
a low-jitter reference input, loop phase error is typically
maintained to within a few nanoseconds.

If the lock detection circuit is not used, the LDR output may
remain unconnected, however the LDC input should be tied
high or low. If the PCB was designed to accommodate the
RLD and CLD components but the LD output will not be
used, RLD can remain unstuffed and CLD can be replaced
with a resistor (< 10 kohm).
Power Supply Considerations
As with any integrated clock device, the MK2069-01 has a
special set of power supply requirements:
The feed from the system power supply must be filtered
for noise that can cause output clock jitter. Power supply
noise sources include the system switching power supply
or other system components. The noise can interfere with
device PLL components such as the VCO or phase
detector.
Each VDD pin must be decoupled individually to prevent
power supply noise generated by one device circuit block
from interfering with another circuit block.
Clock noise from device VDD pins must not get onto the
PCB power plane or system EMI problems may result.
This above set of requirements is served by the circuit
illustrated in the Recommended Power Supply Connection
(next page). The main features of this circuit are as follows:
Only one connection is made to the PCB power plane.
The capacitors and ferrite chip (or ferrite bead) on the
common device supply form a lowpass ‘pi’ filter that
remove noise from the power supply as well as clock
noise back toward the supply. The bulk capacitor should
be a tantalum type, 1 μF minimum. The other capacitors
should be ceramic type.
The power supply traces to the individual VDD pins
should fan out at the common supply filter to reduce
interaction between the device circuit blocks.
The decoupling capacitors at the VDD pins should be
ceramic type and should be as close to the VDD pin as
possible. There should be no via’s between the
decoupling capacitor and the supply pin.
Recommended Power Supply Connection
Series Termination Resistor
Output clock PCB traces over 1 inch should use series
termination to maintain clock signal integrity and to reduce
EMI. To series terminate a 50Ω trace, which is a commonly
used PCB 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 MK2069-01 operates by phase-locking the VCXO
circuit to the input signal at the selected ICLK input. The
VCXO consists of the external crystal and the integrated
VCXO oscillator circuit. To achieve the best performance
and reliability, a crystal device with the recommended
parameters 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
MK2069-01 incorporates variable load capacitors on-chip
which “pull” or change the frequency of the crystal. The
crystals specified for use with the MK2069-01 are designed
to have zero frequency error when the total of on-chip +
stray capacitance is 14pF. To achieve this, the layout should
use short traces between the MK2069-01 and the crystal.
Recommended Crystal Parameters:
Crystal parameters can be found in application note MAN05
on www.idt.com
. Approved crystals can be found at
www.idt.com
(search “crystal”).
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small capacitors
from X1 and X2 to ground, shown as C
L
in the External
VCXO PLL Components diagram on page 6. These
capacitors are used to center the total load capacitor
adjustment range imposed on the crystal. The load
adjustment range includes stray PCB capacitance that
varies with board layout. Because the typical telecom
reference frequency is accurate to less than 32 ppm, the
MK2069-01 may operate properly without these adjustment
capacitors. However, IDT recommends that these
capacitors be included to minimize the effects of variation in
individual crystals, including those induced by temperature
and aging. The value of these capacitors (typically 0-4 pF)
is determined once for a given board layout, using the
procedure described in MAN05
.
PCB Layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output phase
noise, the following guidelines should be observed. Please
refer to the Recommended PCB Layout drawing on the
following page.
1) Each 0.01µF decoupling capacitor (CD) should be
mounted on the component side of the board as close to the
VDD pin as possible. No via’s should be used between the
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 chip and bulk
decoupling from the device is less critical.
2) The loop filter components must also be placed close to
the CHGP and VIN pins. C
P
should be closest to the device.
Coupling of noise from other system signal traces should be
minimized by keeping traces short and away from active
signal traces. Use of vias should be avoided.
3) The external crystal should be mounted as close to the
device as possible, on the component side of the board.
This will keep the crystal PCB traces short which will
minimize parasitic load capacitance on the crystal and as
well as noise pickup. The crystal traces should be spaced
away from each other and should use minimum trace width.
There should be no signal traces near the crystal or the
traces. Also refer to the Optional Crystal Shielding section
that follows.
4) To minimize EMI the 33Ω series termination resistor, if
needed, should be placed close to the clock output.
5) All components should be on the same side of the board,
minimizing vias through other signal layers (the ferrite bead
and bulk decoupling capacitor may be mounted on the
back). Other signal traces should be routed away from the
MK2069-01. This includes signal traces on PCB traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the ground
plane layer used by the device.
6) Because each input selection pin includes an internal
pull-up device, those inputs requiring a logic high state (“1”)
can be left unconnected. The pins requiring a logic low state
(“0”) can be grounded.
Optional Crystal Shielding
The crystal and connection traces to pins X1 and X2 are
sensitive to noise pickup. In applications that are especially
sensitive to noise, such as SONET or G-Bit ethernet
transceivers, some or all of the following crystal shielding
techniques should be considered. This is especially
important when the MK2069-01 is placed near high speed
logic or signal traces.
The following techniques are illustrated on the
Recommended PCB Layout drawing.
