[FAQ] TLV320ADC5140: MCLK Input Clock Requirements

Part Number: TLV320ADC5140
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: TLV320ADC3140, , TLV320ADC6140

Hello, 

What are the requirements for the MCLK clock signal input to the TLV320ADC5140, TLV320ADC3140, and TLV320ADC6140 when operating as an Audio master with an external MCLK input?

  • 1.) The maximum input frequency is:  36.864MHz.

    2.)  Duty-Cycle min/max is 45% and 55% respectively

    3.)  Jitter should be <1ns if the PLL will be used with the MCLK as an input

    4.)  Logic level glitches or other noise on the clock input must be avoided.  Glitches may trigger a clock error which will shut down the ASI.  Please keep the MCLK input signal as clean as possible by adding some series resistance (10-33 Ohms) near the output drivers, avoiding long adjacent trace routing with other switching signals, and possibly adding some shunt capacitance if the glitches are sourced extrinsically.
