The VT98521 is a 3.3V CMOS, clock multiplier integrated circuit. The device provides an excellent quality
high frequency output clock from a lower frequency crystal or clock input. Tri-level selection inputs S0 and
S1 are used to select any one of eight multipliers, stored in the on-board ROM, and apply it to the input to
produce the desired output, up to 220 MHz. Phase Locked Loop (PLL) technology allows the device to use
an input signal from an inexpensive crystal. When Output Enable (OE) is low, the clock output is in high
impedance state.
The VT98521, when used with an inexpensive crystal, provides a cost-effective clock source for most
electronic systems.

Note1: External Crystal Connection.
The external crystal should be connected in as close physical proximity to the VT98521 as possible. The crystal should be a
fundamental mode, parallel resonant. Do not use third overtone. External load capacitors should be fitted in accordance with the
crystal manufacturer’s specifications.
Note2: Decoupling and termination.
Decoupling capacitors of 0.01 µF and 0.1 µF should be connected between VDD and Ground. Capacitors should be mounted as
close to the chip as possible. A 33Ω termination resistor may be connected in series with the clock output in order to minimize ringing
and reflections.
