Description
The MK3727 series of devices include the original
MK3727S, and the new MK3727C and MK3727D. The
MK3727D and MK3727C are drop-in replacements for
the MK3727S device. Compared to these earlier
devices, the MK3727D and MK3727C offer a wider
operating frequency range and improved power supply
noise rejection. The MK3727D is recommended for
new designs.
The MK3727 series combines the functions of a VCXO
(Voltage Controlled Crystal Oscillator) and PLL (Phase
Locked Loop) frequency doubler onto a single chip.
Used in conjunction with an external pullable quartz
crystal, this monolithic integrated circuit replaces more
costly hybrid (canned) VCXO devices. The MK3727 is
designed primarily for data and clock recovery
applications within end products such as ADSL
modems, set-top box receivers, and telecom systems.
The MK3727D is recommended for new designs. The
MK3727D exhibits a moderate VCXO gain of
120ppm/V typical, when used with a high quality
external pullable quartz crystal. The MK3727C offers a
higher VCXO gain of 150ppm/V. The higher intrinsic
VCXO gain of the MK3727C may help compensate for
the reduced pullability of a low quality crystal used in
some applications. However, higher VCXO gain may
also increase clock output phase noise.
The frequency of the on-chip VCXO is adjusted by an
external control voltage input into pin VIN. Because
VIN is a high impedance input, it can be driven directly
from an PWM RC integrator circuit. Frequency output
increases with VIN voltage input. The usable range of
VIN is 0 to 3 V.

External Component Selection
The MK3727 requires a minimum number of external
components for proper operation.
variable load capacitors that “pull” (change) the
frequency of the crystal. The crystal specified for use
with the MK3727 is designed to have zero frequency
error when the total of on-chip + stray capacitance is
14 pF.

Decoupling Capacitor
A decoupling capacitor of 0.01µF must be connected
between VDD (pin 2) and GND (pin 4 & 7), 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 (CLK,
pin 5) and the load is over 1 inch, series termination
should be used. To series terminate a 50Ω trace (a
commonly used trace impedance), place a 33Ω resistor
in series with the clock line, as close to the clock output
pin as possible. The nominal impedance of the clock
output is 20Ω.

The external crystal must be connected as close to the
chip as possible and should be on the same side of the
PCB as the MK3727. There should be no vias between
the crystal pins and the X1 and X2 device pins. There
should be no signal traces underneath or close to the
crystal.
Quartz Crystal
The MK3727 VCXO function consists of the external
crystal and the integrated VCXO oscillator circuit. To
assure the best system performance (frequency pull
range) and reliability, a crystal device with the
recommended parameters (shown below) must be
used, and the layout guidelines discussed in the
following section shown must be followed.
The frequency of oscillation of a quartz crystal is
determined by its “cut” and by the load capacitors
connected to it. The MK3727 incorporates on-chip
Crystal Tuning Load Capacitors
The crystal traces should include pads for small fixed
capacitors, one between X1 and ground, and another
between X2 and ground. The need for these capacitors
is determined at system prototype evaluation, and is
influenced by the particular crystal used (manufacture
and frequency) and by PCB layout. The typical required
capacitor value is 1 to 4 pF.
The procedure for determining the value of these
capacitors can be found in application note MAN05.

Absolute Maximum Ratings
Stresses above the ratings listed below can cause permanent damage to the MK3727. 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.
