MK74CG117B
Power Dissipation, Termination, and Operating
Frequency
As with all clock drivers, the power dissipated by the
MK74CG117B is affected by the external loading on
the output pins. This consists of the capacitance of the
load that is being driven, as well as the PC board trace
itself. Since this capacitance must be charged and
discharged with each cycle of the output clock, as the
frequency goes up. so does the power required.
Operating below the specified maximum output clock
frequency shown in Table 2 will keep the MK74CG117B
power dissipation within acceptable limits.
External series termination resistors must be used in
series with each output. These resistors serve two
purposes: The first is to match the source impedance
to the line (PC board trace) that is being driven. This
will minimize reflections that cause non-linear
transitions on the output clock waveform. The output
impedance of the MK74CG117B is approximately 20
;
assuming a 50
line, then a 33 resistor should be
used at each output as shown in Figure 1.

Table 2. Multiplier Selections (Input and CLK
Frequencies in MHz)
Figure 1. External Termination
As speeds rise, the limiting factor in device operation
becomes the power generated by having a large
number of drivers in one package. Using the external
termination resistors reduces the power dissipated
within the device, allowing output frequencies up to 100
MHz.
Note that the maximum operating frequency of the
MK74CG117A is determined by the Mode selected
from Table 1 and the Multiplier selected from Table 2.
For output frequencies above 83.3 MHz, all 16 outputs
must be at the same frequency (M1=M0=1).
When operating with a combination of 1X and 0.5X
outputs, the output frequency cannot exceed 83.3 MHz.
