The DS1090 is a low-cost, dithered oscillator intended
to be used as an external clock for switched-mode
power supplies and other low-frequency applications.
The dithering or sweeping function reduces peak-radi-
ated emissions from the power supply at its fundamen-
tal frequency, as well as harmonic frequencies. The
device consists of a resistor-programmed master oscil-
lator, factory-programmed clock prescaler, and a pin-
programmed dither circuit. These features allow the
DS1090 to be used in applications where a spread-
spectrum clock is desired to reduce radiated emis-
sions. A combination of factory-set prescalers and
external resistor allows for output frequencies ranging
from 125kHz to 8MHz. Both dither frequency and dither
percentage are set using control pins.

J-STD-020A Specification
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
