6907 is a precision programmable oscillator that
is versatile, compact and easy to use. Micropower opera-
tion benefits portable and battery-powered equipment. At
400kHz, the LTC6907 consumes 36µA on a 3V supply.
A single resistor programs the oscillator frequency over a
10:1 range with better than 0.65% initial accuracy. The
output frequency can be divided by 1, 3 or 10 to span a
100:1 total frequency range, 40kHz to 4MHz.
The LTC6907 is easily programmed according to this
simple formula:

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:
Some frequencies may be generated using two different values of
R
SET
. For these frequencies, the error is specified assuming that the larger
value of R
SET
is used.
Note 3:
Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the f
OUT
equation.
Note 4:
Jitter is the ratio of the peak-to-peak deviation of the period to the
mean of the period. This specification is based on characterization and is
not 100% tested.
Note 5:
Current into a pin is given as a positive value. Current out of a pin
is given as a negative value.
Note 6:
Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and
90% power supply levels.
Note 7:
The LTC6907C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6907C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA
sampled at these temperatures. The LTC6907I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 8:
Consult the Applications Information section for operation with
supplies higher than 3.6V.
Note 9:
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 1/10
th
of
the drift with power, or 30ppm/√kHr for a 300ppm/√kHr device.

LTC6907
PI FU CTIO S
OUT (Pin 1):
Oscillator Output. The OUT pin swings from
GND to V
+
with an output resistance of approximately
150Ω. For micropower operation, the load resistance
must be kept as high as possible and the load capacitance
as low as possible.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground.
DIV (Pin 3):
Divider Setting Input. This three-level input
selects one of three internal digital divider settings, deter-
mining the value of N in the frequency equation. Tie to GND
for
÷1,
leave floating for
÷3
and tie to V
+
for
÷10.
When left
floating, the LTC6907 pulls Pin 3 to mid-supply with a
2.5M resistor. When Pin 3 is floating, care should be taken
to reduce coupling from the OUT pin and its trace to Pin 3.
Coupling can be reduced by increasing the physical space
between traces or by shielding the DIV pin with grounded
metal.
SET (Pin 4):
Frequency Setting Resistor Input. Connect a
resistor, R
SET
, from this pin to GND to set the oscillator
frequency. For best performance use a precision metal or
thin-film resistor of 0.1% or better tolerance and 50ppm/°C
or better temperature coefficient. For lower accuracy
applications, an inexpensive 1% thick-film resistor may be
used. Limit the capacitance in parallel with R
SET
to less
than 10pF to reduce jitter and to ensure stability. The
voltage on the SET pin is approximately 650mV at 25°C
and decreases with temperature by about –2.3mV/°C.
GRD (Pin 5):
Guard Signal. This pin can be used to reduce
PC board leakage across the frequency setting resistor,
R
SET
. The GRD pin is held within a few millivolts of the SET
pin and shunts leakage current away from the SET pin. To
control leakage, connect a bare copper trace (a trace with
no solder mask) to GRD and loop it around the SET pin and
all PC board metal connected to SET. Careful attention to
board layout and assembly can prevent leakage currents.
The use of a guard ring provides additional shielding of
leakage currents from the SET pin and is optional. If
unused, the GRD pin should be left unconnected.
V
+
(Pin 6):
Voltage Supply (3V to 3.6V). A 0.1µF
decoupling capacitor should be placed as close as pos-
sible to this pin for best performance.
