Low EMI Clock Generator
Description
The MK1709 generates a low EMI output clock from a
clock input. The part is designed to dither the LCD
interface clock for flat panel graphics controllers. The
device uses ICS' proprietary mix of analog and digital
Phase Locked Loop (PLL) technology to spread the
frequency spectrum of the output, thereby reducing the
frequency amplitude peaks by several dB.
The MK1709 offers centered spread from a high speed
clock input. Refer to the MK1714-01/02 for a crystal
input and the widest selection of input frequencies and
multipliers.
ICS offers many other clocks for computers and
computer peripherals. Consult us when you need to
remove crystals and oscillators from your board.

MK1709
External Components
The MK1709 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01F must be connected
between VDD and GND on pins 2 and 3 for the
MK1709S, or pins 1 and 8 for the MK1709AG. Place
the capacitor as close to these pins as possible. For
optimum device performance, the decoupling capacitor
should be mounted on the component side of the PCB.
Avoid the use of vias in the decoupling circuit.
Series Termination Resistor
When the PCB trace between the clock output and the
load is over 1 inch, series termination should be used.
To series terminate a 50
trace (a commonly used
trace impedance), place a 33
resistor in series with
the clock line, as close to the clock output pin as
possible. The nominal impedance of the clock output is
20
.
Select Pin Operation
The S1, S0 select pins are 2-level, meaning they have
three separate states to make the selections shown in
the table on page 2.
PCB layout Recommendations
For optimum device performance and lowest output
phase noise, the following guidelines should be
observed.
1) The 0.01F decoupling capacitor should be mounted
on the component side of the board as close to the
VDD pin as possible. No vias should be used between
the decoupling capacitor and VDD pin. The PCB trace
to VDD pin should be kept as short as possible, as
should the PCB trace to the ground via.
2) Place a 33
series termination resistor (if needed)
close to the clock output to minimize EMI.
3) An optimum layout is one with all components on the
same side of the board, minimizing vias through other
signal layers. Other signal traces should be routed
away from the MK1709. This includes signal traces just
underneath the device, or on layers adjacent to the
ground plane layer used by the device.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK1709. These ratings,
which are standard values for ICS commercially rated parts, are stress ratings only. Functional operation of
the device at these or any other conditions above those indicated in the operational sections of the
specifications is not implied. Exposure to absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods can
affect product reliability. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the recommended operating
temperature range. Typical values are at 25
C.
