The LTC
®
6902 is a precision, low power and easy-to-use
oscillator that provides multiphase outputs in a small
package. The oscillator frequency is set by a single exter-
nal resistor (R
SET
). The LTC6902 also provides an optional
spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM) capability
that can be activated and controlled by an additional
external resistor (R
MOD
).
The LTC6902’s master oscillator is controlled by the R
SET
resistor and has a range of 100kHz and 20MHz. In order
to accommodate a wider output frequency range, a pro-
grammable divider (divide by 1, 10 or 100) is included.
The integrated programmable multiphase circuit pro-
vides either 2-, 3- or 4-phase waveforms.
The LTC6902’s SSFM capability modulates the oscillator’s
frequency by a pseudorandom noise (PRN) signal to
spread the oscillator’s energy over a wide frequency band.
This spreading decreases the peak electromagnetic radia-
tion level and improves electromagnetic compatibility
(EMC) performance. The amount of frequency spreading
is programmable by a single additional external resistor
(R
MOD
) and is disabled by grounding the MOD pin.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of the device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Frequencies near 100kHz and 1MHz may be generated using two
different values of R
SET
(see Applications Information). For these
frequencies, the error is specified under the following assumption:
20k < R
SET
≤
400k for 5kHz
≤
f
OUT
≤
10MHz.
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 distribution of the period to
the mean of the period. This specification is based on characterization and
is not 100% tested.
Note 5:
Guaranteed by 5V test.
Note 6:
To conform with the Logic IC Standard convention, current out of
a pin is arbitrarily given as a negative value.
Note 7:
Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and the
90% power supply levels with no output loading. These specifications are
based on characterization.
Note 8:
f
MAX
is defined as the highest frequency excursion and is equal to
the f
OUT
frequency set by the R
SET
resistor. f
MIN
is the lowest frequency
excursion.
Note 9:
The LTC6902CMS and LTC6902IMS are guaranteed functional
over the operating temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 10:
The LTC6902CMS is guaranteed to meet 0°C to 70°C specifica-
tions and are designed, characterized and expected to meet the specified
performance from –40°C to 85°C but is not tested or QA sampled at these
temperatures. The LTC6902IMS is guaranteed to meet specified perfor-
mance from –40°C to 85°C.
