The MK1574-01 is a Phase-Locked Loop (PLL)
based clock synthesizer, which accepts an 8 kHz
clock input as a reference, and generates many
popular communications frequencies. All outputs
are frequency locked together and to the input.
This allows for the generation of locked clocks to
the 8 kHz backplane clock, simplifying clock
generation and distribution in communications
systems.
MicroClock can customize this device for any
other different frequencies.

External Components/Crystal Selection
The MK1574 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. An RC network
(see Capacitor Selection on following page) should be connected between CAP1 and CAP2 as close to the
chip as possible. A high quality ceramic capacitor is recommended. A decoupling capacitor of 0.1µF must
be connected between VDD and GND pins (pins 2 and 3, 5 and 7) close to the chip, and 33Ω terminating
resistors can be used on clock outputs with traces longer than 1 inch.

Loop Bandwidth and Loop Filter Component Selection
The series-connected capacitor and resistor between CAP1 and CAP2 (pins 4 and 6) determine the dynamic
characteristics of the phase-locked loop. The capacitor must have very low leakage, therefore a high quality
ceramic capacitor is recommended. DO NOT use any type of polarized or electrolytic capacitor. The series
connected capacitor and resistor between CAP1 and CAP2 (pins 4 and 6) determine the dynamic
characteristics of the phase-locked loop. The capacitor must have very low leakage, therefore a high quality
ceramic capacitor is recommended. DO NOT use any type of polarized or electrolytic capacitor. Ceramic
capacitors should have C0G or NP0 dielectric. Avoid high-K dielectrics like Z5U and X7R; these and other
ceramics which have piezoelectric properties allow mechanical vibration in the system to increase the output
jitter because the mechanical energy is converted directly to voltage noise on the VCO input.
The values of the RC network determine the bandwidth of the PLL. The values of the loop filter components
are calculated using the constants K1 and K2 from the table on page 5. The loop bandwidth is set by the
capacitor C and the constant K1 using the formula
K1
C
The loop damping is set by the resistor R, the capacitor C, and the constant K2 using the formula
Equation 1BW (Hz) =
R =
For example, to design the loop filter when generating 8.192 MHz from 8 kHz:
1. From the table on page 2, the address is E. The table on page 5 shows constants K1=0.0516 and K2=6.2.
2. A good value for the loop bandwidth is 1/20 the input frequency; where 8 kHz/20 = 400 Hz. Using
Equation 1,
400 =
Therefore,
3. A good value for the damping factor ζ is 0.707. From Equation 2,

PC Board Layout
A proper board layout is critical to the successful
use of the MK1574. In particular, the CAP1 and
CAP2 pins are very sensitive to noise and leakage
(CAP1 at pin 4 is the most sensitive). Traces
must be as short as possible and the capacitor
and resistor must be mounted next to the device
as shown to the right. The capacitor connected
between pins 3 and 5 is the power supply
decoupling capacitor.
