DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
6908
is an easy-to-use precision oscillator that
provides 2-outputs, shifted by either 180° or 90°. The
oscillator frequency is programmed by a single external
resistor (R
SET
) and spread spectrum frequency modula-
tion (SSFM) can be activated for improved electromag-
netic compatibility (EMC) performance.
The LTC6908 operates with a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply
and provides rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square wave out-
puts. A single resistor from 10k to 2M is used to select an
oscillator frequency from 50kHz to 10MHz (5V supply).
The oscillator can be easily programmed using the simple
formula outlined below:
f
OUT
=10MHz • 10k/R
SET
The LTC6908’s SSFM capability modulates the output
frequency by a pseudorandom noise (PRN) signal to
decrease the peak electromagnetic radiation level and
improve EMC performance. The amount of frequency
spreading is fixed at ±10% of the center frequency. When
SSFM is enabled, the rate of modulation is selected by
the user. The three possible modulation rates are f
OUT
/16,
f
OUT
/32 and f
OUT
/64.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
LTC6908C and LTC6908I are guaranteed functional over the
operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
LTC6908C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from 0°C
to 70°C. The LTC6908C is designed, characterized and expected to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or Q
A
sampled
at these temperatures. The LTC6908I is guaranteed to meet the specified
performance limits from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6908H is guaranteed to
meet the specified performance limits from –40°C to 125°C.
Note 4:
Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the f
OUT
equation.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by 5V test
Note 6:
To conform to the Logic IC Standard, current out of a pin is
arbitrarily given a negative value.
Note 7:
Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and the
90% power supply levels with no output loading. These specifications are
based on characterization.
Note 8:
Long term drift on silicon oscillators is primarily due to the
movement of ions and impurities within the silicon and is tested at 30°C
under otherwise nominal operating conditions. Long term drift is specified
as ppm/√kHr due to the typically non-linear nature of the drift. To calculate
drift for a set time period, translate that time into thousands of hours, take
the square root and multiply by the typical drift number. For instance, a
year is 8.77kHr and would yield a drift of 888ppm at 300ppm/√kHr. Ten
years is 87.7kHr and would yield a drift of 2,809 ppm at 300 ppm/√kHr.
Drift without power applied to the device may be approximated as 1/10th
of the drift with power, or 30ppm/√kHr for a 300ppm/√kHr device.
