Notes:
2. Permanent device damage may occur if absolute maximum ratings are exceeded. This is a stress rating only and functional operation is not implied
at conditions other than those detailed in the operational sections of this data sheet. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended
periods may affect device reliability.
3. The datasheet limits are not guaranteed if the device is operated beyond operating ratings.
4. Package thermal resistance assumes exposed pad is soldered (or equivalent) to the device’s most negative potential on the PCB.
5. The circuit is designed to meet the AC and DC specifications shown in the above table(s) after thermal equilibrium has been established.
6. All phase noise measurements were taken with an Agilent 5052B phase noise system.

Notes:
7. Defined as skew between outputs at the same supply voltage and with equal load conditions; measured at the output differential crossing points.
8. Measured using 25MHz crystal as the input reference source. If using an external reference input, use a low phase noise source. With an external
reference, the phase noise will follow the input source phase noise up to about 1MHz.

Application Information
The impedance value of the Ferrite Bead (FB) needs to
be between 240Ω and 600Ω with a saturation current
≥150mA.
Crystal Layout
Keep the layers under the crystal as open as possible
and do not place switching signals or noisy supplies
under the crystal. Crystal load capacitance is built inside
the die, so no external capacitance is needed. See the
Selecting a Quartz Crystal for the Clockworks Flex I
Family of Precision Synthesizers application note for
more details.
VDDO1 and VDDO2 pins connect directly to the VDD
plane. All VDD pins on the PL602041 connect to VDD
after the power supply filter.
HCSL Outputs
HCSL outputs are to be terminated with 50Ω to VSS. For
best performance load all outputs. If you want to ACcouple or change the termination, contact Micrel’s
application group: tcghelp@micrel.com (see Figure 5).
Contact
Micrel’s HBW
applications group
at:
tcghelp@micrel.com if you need help selecting a suitable
crystal for your application.
Power Supply and Decoupling
Place the smallest value decoupling capacitor (4.7nF
above) between the VDD and VSS pins, as close as
possible to those pins and at the same side of the PCB
as the IC. The shorter the physical path from VDD to
capacitor and back from capacitor to VSS, the more
effective the decoupling. Use one 4.7nF capacitor for
each VDD pin on the PL602041.
Power Supply Filtering Recommendations
Preferred filter, using Micrel MIC94300 or MIC94310 Ripple Blocker™:
Alternative, traditional filter, using a ferrite bead:
