OPL3, OPL4 + Codec Clock Source
Description Features
MK1418/MK1420
The MK1418 and MK1420 are the ideal way to
generate clocks for new sound cards. The MK1420
provides clocks for Analog Devices’ AD1848,
Crystal Semiconductor’s CS4231, and Yamaha’s
OPL3L, OPL3LS, and OPL4. The MK1420 uses
either a 14.318 MHz crystal, or a 14.318 MHz bus
clock input to synthesize the clocks required to
drive the codec, and the 33.868 MHz required for
the FM or wavetable music synthesizer. The chips
are ideal for add-in sound cards and motherboards
with integrated sound. In an 8 pin SOIC, the
MK1420 can save component count, board space,
and cost over surface mount crystals, and increase
reliability by eliminating three or four mechanical
devices from the board.
MicroClock offers many other parts with stereo
codec support. The MK1430 has 5 output clocks,
the MK1448 has 7, the MK1444 has eight
including DSP clocks, and the MK1450/1 offers
Pentium™ and SCSI support, plus the stereo
codec clocks.
Block Diagram
VDD GND
• Packaged in 8 pin SOIC
• Input crystal or clock frequency of 14.318 MHz
• MK1418 is clock input only
• MK1420 output clock frequencies of 16.934MHz,
24.576 MHz, 33.868 MHz, and 14.318 MHz
• Advanced, low power CMOS process
• Lowest jitter in industry for best audio
performance
• Insensitive to input clock duty cycle
• 50% (typ) 14.318 MHz duty cycle with crystal
AC Coupling/Portable Applications
For applications in portable computers, it is possible
to drive the input clock with a 3.3V, 14.318MHz
clock by a.c. coupling using a 0.01µF capacitor
connected in series to the CLKIN pin. But the
operating VDD on pin 2 must be 5V±10%. This
technique is also effective if the input clock doesn’t
meet the VIH and VIL specifications on page 3.
Additional Clocks or Features
If more than these four output clocks or features
such as power down are needed, MicroClock has
many other products in development. Consult

6 33.9M O 33.868 MHz clock output for OPL4.
7 14.3M O 14.318 MHz clock buffered output for OPL3 or PCMCIA controller.
8 X2 O Crystal Connection to a 14.318 MHz crystal, or leave unconnected for clock input.
Key: I = Input, O = output, P = power supply connection
External Components/Crystal Selection
A minimum number of external components are required for proper oscillation. For a crystal input, one
22pF load capacitor should be connected to each of the X1 and X2 pins and ground, and a parallel
resonant 14.318 MHz, 16pF load, crystal is recommended. Values near these are acceptable, as is a series
resonant crystal, but either will result in frequencies which are slightly (up to 0.06%) different from the
ideal. For a clock input, connect to X1 and leave X2 unconnected. A decoupling capacitor of 0.1µF should
be connected between VDD and GND, and 33Ω terminating resistors may be used on the clock outputs.
These terminating resistors are unnecessary for clock traces less than 1” (25mm).

Notes:
1. Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings could cause permanent damage to the device. Prolonged exposure
to levels above the operating limits but below the Absolute Maximums may affect device reliability.
2. Typical values are at 25°C.
3. If crystal is used as input with CL = 16pf. If a clock is used as input, the duty cycle of the 14.318MHz output will be the same as the
input clock.
