OPERATION
The LTC6990 is built around a master oscillator with a

1MHz maximum frequency. The oscillator is controlled The DIV pin connects to an internal, V+ referenced 4-bit by the SET pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a A/D converter that monitors the DIV pin voltage (V 1MHz • 50k conversion factor that is accurate to ±0.8% DIV) to determine the DIVCODE value. DIVCODE programs two under typical conditions. settings on the LTC6990: 1 I f SET MASTER = = 1MHz • 50k • 1. DIVCODE determines the output frequency divider set- tMASTER VSET ting, NDIV. A feedback loop maintains V 2. DIVCODE determines the state of the output when dis- SET at 1V ±30mV, leaving ISET as the primary means of controlling the output frequency. abled, via the Hi-Z bit. The simplest way to generate ISET is to connect a resistor VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+ (RSET) between SET and GND, such that ISET = VSET/RSET. and GND as shown in Figure 1. The master oscillator equation reduces to: 1 1MHz • 50k f 2.25V TO 5.5V MASTER = = tMASTER RSET V+ From this equation it is clear that V LTC6990 R1 SET drift will not affect the output frequency when using a single program resis- DIV tor (R R2 SET). Error sources are limited to RSET tolerance and the inherent frequency accuracy ∆f GND OUT of the LTC6990. 6990 F01 RSET values between 50k and 800k (equivalent to ISET between 1.25µA and 20µA) produce the best results,

although RSET may be reduced to 25k (ISET = 40µA) with reduced accuracy. The LTC6990 includes a programmable frequency divider which can further divide the frequency by 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 or 128 before driving the OUT pin. The divider ratio NDIV is set by a resistor divider attached to the DIV pin. 1 1MHz • 50k I f SET OUT = = • tOUT NDIV VSET With RSET in place of VSET/ISET the equation reduces to: 1 1MHz • 50k fOUT = = tOUT NDIV •RSET Rev.
