LTC6990 Datasheet – Voltage Controlled Silicon Oscillator
LTC6990 overview
The LTC6990 is a Voltage Controlled Silicon Oscillator made by Analog Devices, supplied in these packages: DFN 8 Pin, TSOT-23 6 Pin Type. The absolute maximum ratings table on this page lists the 6 limits from the manufacturer's datasheet that must not be exceeded. This page brings together the LTC6990 pinout and maximum ratings, with the full datasheet PDF to preview below or download.
The LTC®6990 is a precision silicon oscillator with a programmable 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. A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6990’s internal master oscillator frequency. The output frequency is determined by this master oscillator and an internal frequency divider, N from 1 to 128.
Optionally, a second resistor at the SET input provides linear voltage control of the output frequency and can be used for frequency modulation. A narrow or wide VCO tuning range can be configured by the appropriate selection of the two resistors. The LTC6990 includes an enable function that is synchronized with the master oscillator to ensure clean, glitch- free output pulses. The disabled output can be configured to be high impedance or forced low.
