TimerBlox: Voltage
Controlled Silicon Oscillator
FEATURES
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.

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 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
≈ 0.55 • V + 185mV
OE(RISING)
+
and V
≈ 0.48 • V – 155mV.
OE(FALLING)
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.
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
Note 4: Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the f
OUT
within 1% of the final frequency after a 0.5x or 2x change in I
.

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.

pin should be minimized so it will settle quickly. Less than
100pF will not affect performance.

As shown in Figure 4, setting Hi-Z = 1 places the output in

high enables the output. The output will usually be forced
low during this time, although it is possible for OUT to
transition directly from high-impedance to a high output,
depending on the timing of the OE transition relative to
the internal oscillator. Once high, the first output pulse
will have the correct width (unless truncated by bringing
OE low again).

it could halt in a high or low state. This avoids introduc-

SUPPLY BYPASSING AND PCB LAYOUT GUIDELINES
C1 connection to the ground plane are recommended
to minimize the inductance. Capacitor C1 should be a
0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
The LTC6990 is a 2.2% accurate silicon oscillator when
used in the appropriate manner. The part is simple to use
and by following a few rules, the expected performance
is easily achieved. The most important use issues involve
adequate supply bypassing and proper PCB layout.
2. Place all passive components on the top side of the
board. This minimizes trace inductance.
3. Place R
as close as possible to the SET pin and
