MK3235

The MK3235 is the smallest size, lowest power system clock synthesizer available. MK3235 is the ideal way to generate clocks for handheld computers, such as PDAs, PICs, and other devices where low power is required. Using analog Phase-Locked Loop (PLL) techniques, MK3235 operates from a single 32.768 kHz crystal to produce the 32.768kHz, 14.318MHz, and serial communications output clocks.

MK3235 has three power down modes for the 14.3MHz, communications, and 32.768kHz clocks.

The MK3235 can save board space and cost even if it only replaces the 32kHz oscillator circuitry and one  additional surface mount crystal or oscillator. The extremely low IDD, the ease of surface mounting, and the power down capability of MK3235 are added benefits in using the part.
