T73227
27 MHz VCXO Clock Generator IC
Applications
Crystal-driven clock source for low cost set top boxes and digital multimedia with MPEG video/audio
General Description
The TLSI T73227 is a single-chip, low-jitter Voltage-Controlled-Crystal-Oscillator. The device accepts a 27
MHz fundamental crystal input and produces a low-jitter output at the same frequency. A 0V to +3.3V
control signal is used to fine-tune the output clock frequency in the ±100ppm range. The T73227 is an
excellent replacement for more expensive canned VCXOs.

Functional Block Description
The VCXO provides a tunable, low-jitter frequency reference. Loading capacitance for the crystal is
internal to the T73227. No external components (other than the crystal resonator itself) are required for
operation of the VCXO. Tuning of the VCXO frequency is accomplished by varying the voltage on Vin
(Pin 3). The oscillator operates the crystal resonator in the parallel-resonant mode. Crystal warping, or
the “pulling” of the crystal oscillation frequency, is accomplished by altering the effective load
capacitance presented to the crystal by the oscillator circuit. The actual amount that changing the load
capacitance alters the oscillator frequency will be dependent on the characteristics of the crystal as well
as the oscillator circuit itself. Specifically, the motional capacitance of the crystal (usually referred to by
crystal manufacturers as C
1
), the static capacitance of the crystal (C
0
), and the load capacitance (C
L
) of
the oscillator determine the “warping” or “pulling” capability of the crystal in the oscillator circuit. A
simple formula to obtain the warping capability of a crystal oscillator is:
where C
L1
and C
L2
are the two extremes of the applied load capacitance.
EXAMPLE: A crystal with the following parameters is used. With C
1
= 0.025pF, C
0
= 6pF, C
L1
= 10pF,
and C
L2
= 20pF, the tuning range is:
