Description
The MK2754 is MicroClock’s lowest cost, low
jitter, high performance VCXO and PLL clock
synthesizer designed to replace expensive 54 MHz
VCXOs. The on-chip Voltage Controlled Crystal
Oscillator accepts a 0 to 3V input voltage to vary
the output clocks by ±100 ppm. Using
MicroClock’s patented VCXO and analog PhaseLocked Loop (PLL) techniques, the device uses an
inexpensive external 13.5 MHz pullable crystal
input to produce a 54 MHz output clock.
MicroClock manufactures the largest variety of
Set-Top Box and multimedia clock synthesizers
for all applications. If more clock outputs are
needed, see the MK2731 or MK277x family of
parts. Consult MicroClock to eliminate VCXOs,
crystals and oscillators from your board.
Low Cost 54 MHz VCXO

External Components
The MK2754 requires a minimum number of external components for proper operation. A decoupling
capacitor of 0.1µF should be connected between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 4, as close to the MK2754
as possible. A series termination resistor of 33Ω may be used for the clock output. The input crystal must be
connected as close to the chip as possible. The input crystal should be a parallel mode, pullable, AT cut,
13.5MHz, with 14pF load capacitance. Consult MicroClock for recommended suppliers. IMPORTANT read application note MAN05 before laying out the PCB.
