MK3724
VCXO PLUS AUDIO CLOCK FOR STB
Description
Features
The MK3724 is a low cost, low jitter, high performance
VCXO and PLL clock synthesizer designed to replace
expensive discrete VCXOs and multipliers. The patented
on-chip Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator accepts a 0 to
3.3 V input voltage to cause the output clocks to vary by
±115 ppm. Using IDT’s analog/digital Phase-Locked Loop
(PLL) techniques, the device uses an inexpensive 27 MHz
pullable crystal input to produce a reference output and a
selectable audio clock.

VCXO tuning voltage of 0 to 3.3 V
IDT manufactures the largest variety of VCXO based timing
devices for all applications. Consult IDT to eliminate
VCXOs, crystals, and oscillators from your board.
The frequency of the on-chip VCXO is adjusted by an
external control voltage connected to VIN. Because VIN is
a high impedance input, it can be driven directly from an
PWM RC integrator circuit.
Available in Pb free packaging
Replaces a VCXO and oscillator
Operating voltage of 3.3 V
Provides output of 27 MHz plus audio clock
Uses an inexpensive 27 MHz pullable crystal
On-chip patented VCXO with pull range of 230 ppm
(minimum)

External Component Selection
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.
The MK3724 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitors
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01 µF should be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 3 and 4, pins 6 and 7, and
pins 11 and 14 as close to the MK3724 as possible. For
optimum device performance, the decoupling capacitors
should be mounted on the component side of the PCB.
Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
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 samples
of the crystals which you plan to use in production. You will
also need measured initial accuracy for each crystal at the
specified crystal load capacitance (CL).
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB traces between the clock outputs and the
loads are over 1 inch, series termination should be used. To
series terminate a 50 Ω trace (a commonly used trace
impedance), place a 33 Ω resistor in series with the clock
line, as close to the clock output pin as possible. The
nominal impedance of the clock output is 20 Ω.
To determine the value of the crystal capacitors:
1. Connect VDD to 3.3 V. Connect pin 5 to the second power
supply. Adjust the voltage on pin 5 to 0V. Measure and
record the frequency of the CLK output.
Quartz Crystal
2. Adjust the voltage on pin 5 to 3.3 V. Measure and record
the frequency of the same output.
The MK3724 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 meeting IDT’ recommended
parameters must be used, and the layout guidelines
discussed in the following section must be followed.
To calculate the centering error:
6 ( f 3.3 ( 3.0 )V – f t arg et ) + ( f 0V – f t arg et )
Error = 10 x ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- – error xtal
f t arg et
See Application Note MAN05 for a full list of crystal
parameters.
Where:
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is determined
by its “cut” and by the load capacitors connected to it. The
MK3724 incorporates on-chip variable load capacitors that
“pull” (change) the frequency of the crystal. The crystal
specified for use with the MK3724 is designed to have zero
frequency error when the total of on-chip + stray
capacitance is 14 pF.
ftarget = nominal crystal frequency
errorxtal =actual initial accuracy (in ppm) of the crystal being
measured
If the centering error is less than ±25 ppm, no adjustment is
needed. If the centering error is more than 25 ppm 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 IDT for details.) If the
centering error is more than 25 ppm positive, add identical
fixed centering capacitors from each crystal pin to ground.
The value for each of these caps (in pF) is given by:
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 MK3724. 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.
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed

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 ±25 ppm).
External Capacitor =
2 x (centering error)/(trim sensitivity)
Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK3724. 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.
