Suited for switching regulators, the LTC6908-1/-2 spread spectrum silicon oscillators are programmable to any frequency from 50 kHz to 10 MHz.
LTC6908 – Resistor Set SOT-23 Oscillator with Spread Spectrum Modulation
The LTC6908 is an easy-to-use precision oscillator that provides 2-outputs, 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 2.7V to 5.5V supply and provides rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square wave outputs.
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 fi xed 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.
