Recommended Loop Filter Values Vs. Output Frequency Range Selection
Loop Filter Capacitor Type
Loop filter capacitors C1 and C2 should be film type.
This includes the PPS polymer film type made by
Panasonic, or metal poly types made by MuRata or
Cornell Dublier.
The Panasonic ECP-U and ECH-U series capacitors
are typically used on the ICS MK20xx demo boards
and are found to work well. These devices are
available from Digi-Key.
Other acceptable capacitor types include those with
C0G or NP0 dielectric.
Avoid high-K dielectrics like Z5U and X7R (these are
acceptable for the decoupling capacitors, however).
The loop capacitors must have a high dielectric
resistance to avoid leakage-induced phase noise. For
this reason, DO NOT use any type of polarized or
electrolytic capacitors. Microphonics (mechanical
board vibration) will also induce output phase noise.
High-K dielectrics like Z5U and X7R have piezoelectric
properties that convert mechanical vibration into
voltage noise that interferes with VCXO operation.

Sales FAE or contact ICS MicroClock applications at

Power Supply Considerations
As with any integrated clock device, the MK2049-10
has a special set of power supply requirements:
The feed from the system power supply must be
filtered for noise that can cause output clock jitter.
Power supply noise sources include the system
