OPERATION

The LTC6995 is built around a master oscillator with a

1MHz maximum frequency. The oscillator is controlled

by the SET pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a

1MHz • 50k conversion factor that is accurate to ±0.8%

under typical conditions.

ISET

VSET

A feedback loop maintains VSET at 1V ±30mV, leaving ISET

as the primary means of controlling the output frequency.

The simplest way to generate ISET is to connect a resistor

(RSET) between SET and GND, such that ISET = VSET/RSET.

The master oscillator equation reduces to:

fMASTER =

tMASTER

1MHz • 50kΩ

RSET

From this equation, it is clear that VSET drift will not affect

theoutputfrequencywhenusingasingleprogramresistor

(RSET). Error sources are limited to RSET tolerance and

the inherent frequency accuracy ∆fOUT of the LTC6995.

RSET may range from 50k to 800k (equivalent to ISET

between 1.25µA and 20µA).

Before reaching the OUT pin, the oscillator frequency

passes through a fixed ÷1024 divider. The LTC6995 also

includes a programmable frequency divider which can

further divide the frequency by 1, 8, 64, 512, 4096, 215,

218 or 221. The divider ratio NDIV is set by a resistor divider

attached to the DIV pin.

DIVCODE

converter that determines the DIVCODE value. DIVCODE

programs two settings on the LTC6995:

1. DIVCODE determines the output frequency divider set-

ting, NDIV.

2. DIVCODE determines the polarity of the RST and OUT

pins, via the POL bit.

VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+

and GND as shown in Figure 1.

Table 1 offers recommended 1% resistor values that ac-

curately produce the correct voltage division as well as the

corresponding NDIVandPOLvaluesfortherecommended

resistor pairs. Other values may be used as long as:

1. The VDIV/V+ ratio is accurate to ±1.5% (including resis-

tor tolerances and temperature effects)

2. Thedrivingimpedance(R1||R2)doesnotexceed500kΩ.

If the voltage is generated by other means (i.e., the output

of a DAC) it must track the V+ supply voltage. The last

column in Table 1 shows the ideal ratio of VDIV to the

supply voltage, which can also be calculated as:

Forexample,ifthesupplyis3.3VandthedesiredDIVCODE

is 4, VDIV = 0.281 • 3.3V = 928mV ± 50mV.

Figure 2 illustrates the information in Table 1, showing

that NDIV is symmetric around the DIVCODE midpoint.
