The LTC
®
6905-XXX series are precision, fixed frequency
silicon oscillators designed to minimize board space while
maximizing accuracy and ease of use.
Programmed at the factory to a fixed frequency, the
LTC6905-XXX series of parts need no external trim com-
ponents. An internal three-state divider allows for division
of the master clock by 1, 2 or 4, providing 3 frequencies
(for each device).
The LTC6905-XXX series operate with a single 2.7V to
5.5V power supply and provide a rail-to-rail, 50% duty
cycle, square wave output. The OE pin will disable the
output when brought low and synchronously enable the
output when brought high, avoiding pulse slivers.
The four products of the LTC6905-XXX family are:
LTC6905-133: f
OSC
= 133MHz, 66.7MHz, 33.3MHz
LTC6905-100: f
OSC
= 100MHz, 50MHz, 25MHz
LTC6905-96: f
OSC
= 96MHz, 48MHz, 24MHz
LTC6905-80: f
OSC
= 80MHz, 40MHz, 20MHz
The LTC6905-XXX series of parts provides a factory trim
option to modify the divider ratios from 1, 2, 4 to 8, 16, 32.
A second trim option allows for additional master clock
frequencies. For the alternate divider ratios and unlisted
frequencies, contact LTC marketing.

Note 1: Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2: Frequency accuracy is tested with DIV = V
+
(÷1). Other divide
ratios are guaranteed by design.
Note 3: Jitter is the ratio of the peak-to-peak distribution of the period to
the mean of the period. This specification is based on characterization and
is not 100% tested.
Note 4: To conform with the Logic IC Standard convention, current out of
a pin is arbitrarily given as a negative value.
Note 5: Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and
90% power supply levels.
Note 6: A heat sink may be required to keep the junction temperature
below the absolute maximum when the output is shorted indefinitely.
Note 7: The LTC6905 is optimized for the performance with a 3V power
supply voltage. Refer to Typical Performance Characteristics curves in this
data sheet for additional information regarding the LTC6905 voltage
coefficient, especially between 4.5V and 5.5V. Please consult LTC
Marketing for parts optimized for 5V operation.
Note 8: The LTC6905C-XXX is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range and is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6905C-XXX 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 LTC6905I-XXX is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C.

(Pin 1): Voltage Supply (2.7V V
+
5.5V). This supply
must be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be
bypassed directly to the GND (Pin 2) with a 0.1µF capacitor
or higher.
GND (Pin 2): Ground. Should be tied to a ground plane for
best performance.
OE (Pin 3): Output Enable. Pull to V+ or leave floating to
enable the output driver (Pin 5). Pull low to disable the
output. The output is disabled asynchronously. Pulling OE
pin low will immediately disable the output. Pulling the OE
pin high will bring the output high on the next low to high
transition of the clock. This eliminates pulse slivers.
DIV (Pin 4): Divider-Setting Input. This three-state input
selects among three divider settings. Pin 4 should be tied
to V
+
for the ÷1 setting, the highest frequency range. Float-
ing Pin 4 divides the master oscillator by 2. Pin 4 should
be tied to GND for the ÷4 setting, the lowest frequency range.
To detect a floating DIV pin, the LTC6905 attempts to pull
the pin toward midsupply. This is realized with two internal
current sources, one tied to V
+
and Pin 4 and the other one
tied to ground and Pin 4. Therefore, driving the DIV pin high
requires sourcing approximately 15µA. Likewise, driving
DIV low requires sinking 15µA. When Pin 4 is floated, it
should be bypassed by a 1nF capacitor to ground or it should
be surrounded by a ground shield to prevent excessive cou-
pling from other PCB traces.
OUT (Pin 5): Oscillator Output. This pin can drive 5k
and/or 5pF loads. For heavier loads, refer to the Applica-
tions Information section.

START-UP TIME
The start-up and settling time to within 1% of the final
frequency is typically 100µs.
MAXIMUM OUTPUT LOAD
The LTC6905 output (Pin 5) can drive a capacitive load
(C
LOAD
) of 5pF or more. Performance driving a C
LOAD
greater than 5pF depends on the oscillator’s frequency
(f
OSC
) and output resistance (R
OUT
). The output rise time
or fall time due to R
OUT
and C
LOAD
is equal to 2.2 •
R
OUT
C
LOAD
(from 10% to 90% of the rise or fall transition). If the
total output rise time plus fall time is arbitrarily specified
to be equal to or less than 20% of the oscillator’s period (1/
f
OSC
), then the maximum output C
LOAD
in
picofarads (pF)
should be equal to or less than [45454/(R
OUT
f
OSC
)]
(R
OUT
in ohms and f
OSC
in MHz).
Example: An LTC6905-100 is operating with a 3V power
supply and is set for a f
OSC
= 50MHz.
R
OUT
with V
+
= 3V is 27 (using the R
OUT
vs V
+
graph in
the Typical Performance Characteristics).
The maximum output C
LOAD
should be
equal to or less
than [45454/(27 • 50)] = 33.6pF.
The lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive can be calculated
using the minimum high level output voltage in the Elec-
trical Characteristics. With a V
+
equal to 5.5V and 4mA
output current, the minimum high level output voltage is
5.2V and the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 1.30k
(5.2V/4mA). With a V
+
equal to 2.7V and 4mA output
current, the minimum high level output voltage is 2.4V and
the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 600 (2.4V/4mA).
FREQUENCY ACCURACY AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE
The frequency accuracy of the LTC6905 may be affected
when its power supply generates noise with frequency
contents equal to fMO/64 or its multiples. fMO is the
highest frequency for an LTC6905-XXX which is with
DIV = V+ (÷1). This is also the frequency indicated in the
part number (i.e., LTC6905-100, fMO = 100MHz). fMO/64
is the master oscillator control loop frequency. For ex-
ample, if the LTC6905-80 with a master oscillator fre-
quency of 80MHz is powered by a switching regulator,
then the oscillator frequency may show an additional
error if the switching frequency is 1.4MHz (80MHz/64).
The magnitude of this effect is heavily dependent on
supply bypass and routing.
JITTER AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE
If the LTC6905 is powered by a supply that has frequency
content equal to the output frequency then the output jitter
may increase. In addition, power supply ripple in excess of
20mV at any frequency may increase jitter.
Higher divide ratios will result in lower percentage jitter.
For example, jitter percentage of the LTC6905-80 operat-
ing at 20MHz is lower than for the same part operating at
80MHz. Please consult the Jitter vs Frequency graph
showing jitter at various divider ratios.
LTC6905 SUGGESTED CRITICAL COMPONENT
LAYOUT
In order to provide the specified performance, it is re-
quired that the supply bypass capacitor be placed as close
as possible to the LTC6905. The following additional rules
should be followed for best performance:
1) The bypass capacitor must be placed as close as
possible to the LTC6905, and no vias should be placed
between the capacitor and the LTC6905. The bypass
capacitor must be on the same side of the circuit board
as the LTC6905.
2) If a ground plane is used, the connection of the LTC6905
to the ground plane should be as close as possible to the
LTC6905 GND pin and should be composed of multiple,
high current capacity vias.
