is versatile, compact and easy to use. Micropower opera-
tion benefits portable and battery-powered equipment. At
100kHz, the LTC6906 consumes 12μA on a 3.3V supply.
A single resistor programs the oscillator frequency over
a 10:1 range with better than 0.5% initial accuracy. The
output frequency can be divided by 1, 3 or 10 to span a
100:1 total frequency range, 10kHz to 1MHz.
The LTC6906 is easily programmed according to this

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 LTC6906C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6906C 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 LTC6906I 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:
Test conditions reflect the master oscillator frequency. The output
divider is functionally tested and divided frequency accuracy is guaranteed
by design.

LTC6906
PIN FUNCTIONS
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, de-
termining 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 LTC6906 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 0.5% or better tolerance and 50ppm/°C
or better temperature coefficient. For lower accuracy ap-
plications, 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. Capaci-
tance greater than 10pF could cause the LTC6906 internal
feedback circuits to oscillate. The voltage on the SET pin
is approximately 650mV and decreases with temperature
by about –2.2mV/°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.
V
+
(Pin 6):
Voltage Supply (2.25V to 3.6V). This supply
is internally decoupled with a 20Ω resistor in series with
an 800pF capacitor. No external decoupling capacitor is
