Master Clock
The MT9040 can use either a clock or crystal as the
master timing source.
In Freerun Mode, the frequency tolerance at the
clock outputs is identical to the frequency tolerance
of the source at the OSCi pin. For applications not
requiring an accurate Freerun Mode, tolerance of the
master

source

such as AT&T TR62411, the tolerance of the master
timing source must be no greater than

32ppm.

±
100ppm.
For
Another consideration in determining the accuracy of
the master timing source is the desired capture
range. The sum of the accuracy of the master timing
source and the capture range of the MT9040 will
always equal 230ppm. For example, if the master
timing source is 100ppm, then the capture range will
be 130ppm.
Clock Oscillator
- when selecting a Clock Oscillator,
numerous parameters must be considered. This
includes absolute frequency, frequency change over
temperature, output rise and fall times, output levels
and duty cycle.

The output clock should be connected directly (not
AC coupled) to the OSCi input of the MT9040, and
the OSCo output should be left open as shown in
Figure 8.

The accuracy of a crystal oscillator depends on the
crystal tolerance as well as the load capacitance
tolerance. Typically, for a 20MHz crystal specified
with a 32pF load capacitance, each 1pF change in
load capacitance contributes approximately 9ppm to
the frequency deviation. Consequently, capacitor
tolerances, and stray capacitances have a major
effect on the accuracy of the oscillator frequency.
