Description
The MK2014A is the ideal way to generate clocks
for Fast Ethernet cards or systems. It provides
20MHz and 25MHz clocks from an inexpensive
14.31818 MHz crystal or clock. In an 8 pin SOIC,
the MK2014A can save component count, board
space, and cost over surface mount crystals and
oscillators, and increase reliability by eliminating
mechanical devices from the board.
The MK2014A is a functionally identical update
of the MK2014 and should be used in all designs.
The only change is in crystal load capacitance as
stated on page 2.
MicroClock offers many other clocks for
computers and computer peripherals. Consult your
MicroClock representative when you need to
remove crystals and oscillators from your board.

External Components/Crystal Selection
A minimum number of external components are required for proper oscillation. A decoupling capacitor of
0.1 µF should be connected between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 3, and 33 Ω terminating resistors
should be used on clock outputs with traces longer than 1 inch. For a clock input, connect to X1 and leave
X2 unconnected. For a crystal input, a parallel resonant 14.31818 MHz crystal is recommended. The
frequency accuracy of the crystal should be 30 ppm or better. External capacitors from each of the X1 and
X2 pins to ground should be added with a value in pF equal to (CL-13)*2, where CL is the crystal load
capacitance in pF. So for a crystal with load capacitance of 16 pF, 6 pF capacitors should be used. [Note
that the MK2014S required crystal load capacitors of (CL-4)*2.]
