Maximum VCO Modulation Bandwidth
The maximum VCO modulation bandwidth is 25kHz; that
is, the LTC6900 will respond to changes in V
to 25kHz. In lower frequency applications however, the
modulation frequency may need to be limited to a lower
rate to prevent an increase in output jitter. This lower limit
is the master oscillator frequency divided by 20, (f
