LTC6990
TimerBlox: Voltage
Controlled Silicon Oscillator
FEATURES
n
DESCRIPTION
The
LTC
®
6990
is a precision silicon oscillator with a pro-
grammable frequency range of 488Hz to 2MHz. It can be
used as a fixed-frequency or voltage-controlled oscillator
(VCO). The LTC6990 is part of the TimerBlox
®
family of
versatile silicon timing devices.
A single resistor, R
SET
, programs the LTC6990’s internal
master oscillator frequency. The output frequency is deter-
mined by this master oscillator and an internal frequency
divider, N
DIV
, programmable to eight settings from 1 to 128.

Optionally, a second resistor at the SET input provides
linear voltage control of the output frequency and can be
used for frequency modulation. A narrow or wide VCO
tuning range can be configured by the appropriate selec-
tion of the two resistors.
The LTC6990 includes an enable function that is synchro-
nized with the master oscillator to ensure clean, glitch-free
output pulses. The disabled output can be configured to
be high impedance or forced low.

Output Fall Time (Note 8)
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:
The LTC6990C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3:
The LTC6990C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6990C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but it is not tested or
QA sampled at these temperatures. The LTC6990I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6990H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC6990MP is
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –55°C to 125°C.
Note 4:
Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the f
OUT
equation, assuming R
SET
is used to program the frequency.
Note 5:
See Operation section, Table 1 and Figure 2 for a full explanation
of how the DIV pin voltage selects the value of DIVCODE.
Note 6:
The OE pin has hysteresis to accommodate slow rising or falling
signals. The threshold voltages are proportional to V
+
. Typical values can
be estimated at any supply voltage using V
OE(RISING)
≈ 0.55 • V
+
+ 185mV
and V
OE(FALLING)
≈ 0.48 • V
+
– 155mV.
Note 7:
To conform to the Logic IC Standard, current out of a pin is
arbitrarily given a negative value.
Note 8:
Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and the
90% power supply levels with 5pF output load. These specifications are
based on characterization.
Note 9:
Settling time is the amount of time required for the output to settle
within ±1% of the final frequency after a 0.5x or 2x change in I
SET
.
Note 10:
Jitter is the ratio of the deviation of the period to the mean of the
period. This specification is based on characterization and is not 100% tested.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 11:
Long-term drift of 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 nonlinear 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 266ppm at 90ppm/√kHr. Drift
without power applied to the device may be approximated as 1/10th of the
drift with power, or 9ppm/√kHr for a 90ppm/√kHr device.
