DESCRIPTION
The LTC
®
6905 precision, programmable silicon oscilla-
tor is easy to use and occupies very little board space. It
requires only a single resistor to set the output frequency
from 17MHz to 170MHz with a typical frequency error of
0.5% or less.
The LTC6905 operates with a single 2.7V to 5.5V power
supply and provides a rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square
wave output. The CMOS output driver ensures fast rise/fall
times and rail-to-rail switching. Operation is simple: A
single resistor, R
SET
, between 10k to 25k is used to set
the frequency, and an internal three-state divider (DIV
input) allows for division of the master clock by 1, 2 or 4,
providing three frequencies for each R
SET
value.
The LTC6905 features a proprietary feedback loop that
linearizes the relationship between R
SET
and frequency,
eliminating the need for tables to calculate frequency. The
oscillator can be easily programmed using the simple
formula outlined below:

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:
Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the f
OSC
equation. Accuracy is tested with DIV = V
+
, N = 1 and other divide ratios
are guaranteed by design.
Note 3:
Jitter is the ratio of the peak-to-peak distribution of the period to
the mean of the period. This specification is based on characterization and
is not 100% tested.
Note 4:
To conform with the Logic IC Standard convention, current out of
a pin is arbitrarily given as a negative value.
Note 5:
Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and
90% power supply levels.
Note 6:
A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below the absolute maximum when the output is shorted indefinitely.
Note 7:
The LTC6905C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range.
Note 8:
The LTC6905C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6905C-XXX 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 LTC6905I-XXX is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.
Note 9:
The LTC6905 is optimized for the performance with a 3V power
supply voltage. Please consult LTC Marketing for parts optimized for 5V
operation.

PIN FUNCTIONS
V
+
(Pin 1):
Voltage Supply (2.7V ≤ V
+
≤ 5.5V). This sup-
ply must be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be
bypassed directly to the GND (Pin 2) with a 0.1μF capaci-
tor or higher.
GND (Pin 2):
Ground. Should be tied to a ground plane
for best performance.
SET (Pin 3):
Frequency-Setting Resistor Input. The value
of the resistor connected between this pin and V
+
deter-
mines the oscillator frequency. The voltage on this pin is
held by the LTC6905 to approximately 1V below the V
+
voltage. For best performance, use a precision metal film
resistor with a value between 10k and 25k and limit the
capacitance on this pin to less than 10pF
.
DIV (Pin 4):
Divider-Setting Input. This three-state input
selects among three divider settings, determining the value
of N in the frequency equation. Pin 4 should be tied to V
+
for the ÷1 setting, the highest frequency range. Floating
Pin 4 divides the master oscillator by 2. Pin 4 should
be tied to GND for the ÷4 setting, the lowest frequency
range. To detect a floating DIV pin, the LTC6905 attempts
to pull the pin toward midsupply. This is realized with two
internal current sources, one tied to V
+
and Pin 4 and the
other one tied to ground and Pin 4. Therefore, driving
the DIV pin high requires sourcing approximately 15μA.
Likewise, driving DIV low requires sinking 11μA. When
Pin 4 is floated, it should be bypassed by a 1nF capacitor
to ground or it should be surrounded by a ground shield
to prevent excessive coupling from other PCB traces.
OUT (Pin 5):
Oscillator Output. This pin can drive 5kΩ
and/or 5pF loads. For larger loads, refer to the Applications
Information section.
