APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
SELECTING THE DIVIDER SETTING AND RESISTOR
The LTC6900’s master oscillator has a frequency range
spanning 0.1MHz to 20MHz. However, accuracy may
suffer if the master oscillator is operated at greater than
10MHz with a supply voltage lower than 4V. A program-
mable divider extends the frequency range to greater than
three decades. Table 1 describes the recommended fre-
quencies for each divider setting. Note that the ranges
overlap; at some frequencies there are two divider/resistor
combinations that result in the desired frequency.
In general, any given oscillator frequency (f
obtained using the lowest master oscillator frequency.
Lower master oscillator frequencies use less power and
are more accurate. For instance, f
obtained by either R
= 10MHz or R
The R

*
LTC6900 may experience reduced accuracy with a supply voltage less than
4V.
After choosing the proper divider setting, determine the
correct frequency-setting resistor. Because of the linear
correspondence between oscillation period and resis-
tance, a simple equation relates resistance with frequency.

ALTERNATIVE METHODS OF SETTING THE OUTPUT
FREQUENCY OF THE LTC6900
The oscillator may be programmed by any method that
sources a current into the SET pin (Pin 3). The circuit in
Figure 3 sets the oscillator frequency using a program-
mable current source and in the expression for f
resistor R
already explained in the “Theory of Operation,” the voltage
difference between V
therefore, the Figure 3 circuit is less accurate than if a
resistor controls the oscillator frequency.
