ADI’s LTC6908 is a 2-output precision oscillator shifted by either 180° or 90°. The oscillator frequency is programmed by a single external resistor (RSET) and spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) can be activated for improved electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance.
The LTC6908 operates with a single 2.7 V to 5.5 V supply and provides rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square-wave outputs. A single resistor from 10 k to 2 M is used to select an oscillator frequency from 50 kHz to 10 MHz (5 V supply). The oscillator can be easily programmed using the simple formula:
fOUT = 10 MHz • 10 k/RSET.
The LTC6908’s SSFM capability modulates the output frequency by a pseudorandom noise (PRN) signal to decrease the peak electromagnetic radiation level and improve EMC performance. The amount of frequency spreading is fixed at ±10% of the center frequency. When SSFM is enabled, the rate of modulation is selected by the user. The three possible modulation rates are fOUT/16, fOUT/32 and fOUT/64. The LTC6908 is ideal for switching power supplies, battery equipment, and charge pump drivers.
