LTC6903/LTC6904 applicaTions inForMaTion Output ControlSerial Port Register Description The CLK and CLK outputs of the LTC6903/LTC6904 are OCT[3:0] – Frequency Divider Setting. (See Frequency individually controllable through the serial port as de- Setting Information Section) scribed in Table 2 below. The low power mode may also DAC[9:0] – Master Oscillator Frequency Setting. (See be accessed through these control bits. It is preferred Frequency Setting Information Section) that unused outputs be disabled in order to reduce power dissipation and improve accuracy. CNF[1:0] – Output Configuration. This controls outputs CLK and CLK according to Table 2. Disabling an unused output will improve accuracy of operation at frequencies above 1MHz. An unused output LTC6903 SPI Compatible Interface running with no load typically degrades frequency ac- curacy up to 0.2% at 68MHz. An unused output running A serial data transfer is composed of sixteen (16) bits of into a 5pF load typically degrades frequency accuracy up data labeled D15 through D0. D15 is the first bit of data to 0.5% at 68MHz. presented in each transaction. All serial port register bits are set LOW on power-up. Table 2.

On every eighth rising edge 1 1 Powered-Down* of SCK, the preceding 8-bits of data are clocked into the *Powered-Down: When in this mode, the chip is in a low power state internal register. It is therefore possible to clock in only and will require approximately 100µs to recover. This is not the same effect as the OE pin, which is fast, but uses more power supply current. the 8 {D15 - D8} most significant bits of data rather than completing an entire transfer. Serial Port Bitmap (LTC6903/LTC6904) The serial data transfer starts with the most significant (All serial port register bits default LOW at power up) bit and ends with the least significant bit of the data, as Table 3 shown in the Timing Diagrams section.
