Product details
Overview
DS1073Z-100 from Maxim Integrated is a user-programmable 3V fixed-frequency oscillator IC with dual outputs, factory-configured for 50MHz (half of its 100MHz max), supporting internal oscillator, external clock, or fundamental-mode crystal reference, and featuring non-volatile register programming for M/N dividers and mode selection. It delivers 0.5% initial frequency accuracy and operates from 2.7V to 3.6V.
For engineers reviewing the DS1073Z-100 datasheet, DS1073Z-100 pinout, DS1073Z-100 application, or DS1073Z-100 equivalent, key selection considerations include programmable prescaler (÷1/÷2/÷4), on-chip divider range (N = 2–513), synchronous OE gating, power-down mode (<0.8µA), and SOIC-8 packaging for space-constrained timing designs.
Technical Context
The DS1073Z-100 integrates a master oscillator followed by a user-selectable prescaler (÷1, ÷2, ÷4) and a 9-bit programmable divider (N = 2–513), enabling output frequencies from 29.3kHz to 100MHz. Its architecture supports three reference sources-internal oscillator, external clock (≤50MHz), or crystal (≤25MHz)-with glitch-free switching between them via the SELX function.
It implements an enabling sequencer for deterministic OE and PDN control: OE provides synchronous output gating without pulse truncation, while PDN initiates a four-stage power-down sequence that disables outputs, counters, buffers, and the oscillator core. All register settings (MUX/DIV words) are stored in EEPROM and persist across power cycles.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Output Frequency | 100.000 MHz - defines upper limit of programmable output range when using internal oscillator and minimal division. |
| Initial Frequency Accuracy | ±0.5% at TA = 25°C - ensures tight tolerance without calibration or external trimming components. |
| Supply Voltage Range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern 3V logic systems and low-power embedded applications. |
| Power-Down Current | 0.8 µA - enables ultra-low standby consumption for battery-backed or energy-sensitive systems. |
| Output Enable Timing | One-to-two MCLK periods latency - guarantees glitch-free, phase-coherent output activation/deactivation. |
| Jitter (3σ) | 100 ps - supports stable timing in high-speed digital interfaces requiring low-phase-noise clocks. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C (commercial) - validated for standard industrial board environments without derating. |
Pinout & Package
DS1073Z-100 is housed in a 150-mil SOIC-8 package (JEDEC MS-012AC), with lead finish Sn/Pb and RoHS-compliant variants available per ordering suffix.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| I/O | Main oscillator output / serial programming input | Dual-function pin: outputs programmed clock signal in operation mode; accepts 1-Wire serial data during programming mode. |
| OUT0 | Reference output | Provides buffered master clock (MCLK) or crystal reference; unaffected by OE but disabled during power-down. |
| VCC | Positive supply | 2.7–3.6V supply input; powers all internal circuitry including oscillator, dividers, and I/O buffers. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for supply and signal currents; must be low-impedance for jitter performance. |
| OSCIN | External clock input | Accepts up to 50MHz CMOS-level clock signal; used alone or with XTAL for crystal reference. |
| PDN/SELX | Power-down or reference select control | User-configurable function: active-low power-down (PDN=1) or real-time internal/external clock switch (PDN=0). |
| XTAL | Crystal connection | Connects to one terminal of fundamental-mode crystal (≤25MHz); other terminal ties to OSCIN. |
| OE | Output enable | Synchronous gating: high = free-run; low = output held low at next transition, preserving duty cycle integrity. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Non-volatile frequency programming | EEPROM-stored MUX/DIV registers allow field reprogramming and design iteration without hardware change. |
| Dual-output architecture | I/O delivers final divided clock; OUT0 provides unmodified reference clock-enabling clock domain bridging and debug visibility. |
| Glitch-free reference switching | Enabling sequencer synchronizes transitions between internal/external/crystal references, eliminating metastability or runt pulses. |
| Synchronous output enable | OE controls I/O with deterministic edge-aligned gating-critical for FPGA configuration clocks and processor reset synchronization. |
| Ultra-low power-down state | 0.8µA quiescent current and full oscillator shutdown enable rapid wake-up in energy-harvesting or portable applications. |
Applications
| Processor Clock Generation | FPGA Configuration Timing |
|---|---|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output I²C-programmable clock generator with PLL-based synthesis; wider frequency range (8kHz–200MHz) but higher supply current (25mA typical). | Requires external crystal and I²C host; better suited for multi-clock domain systems than single-output timing needs. | Choose Si5351A-B-GM when multiple synchronized outputs or fractional-N synthesis are required; DS1073Z-100 remains optimal for simple, low-power, single-clock programmability. |
| ICS843002AGI-01LFT | Fixed 100MHz LVDS oscillator in 6-pin SOT23; no programmability, no power-down, no OE, but lower jitter (30ps) and faster startup (100µs). | Designed for high-speed SerDes and networking PHYs where absolute jitter matters more than configurability. | Choose ICS843002AGI-01LFT for jitter-critical serial links; DS1073Z-100 is preferred when field reconfiguration, low standby power, or OE control are mandatory. |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM and ICS843002AGI-01LFT, the DS1073Z-100 uniquely balances EEPROM-based on-site programmability, sub-µA power-down, synchronous OE, and SOIC-8 simplicity-making it ideal for cost-sensitive, upgradeable embedded timing where multi-output complexity or ultra-low jitter are unnecessary.

FAQ
What is the default factory configuration of the DS1073Z-100?
The DS1073Z-100 ships with DIV = 0x000 (N = 2), MUX = 0x0134, resulting in 50MHz output (half of 100MHz max), internal oscillator selected, M prescaler bypassed, and OUT0 disabled. These EEPROM-stored values are loaded automatically on power-up unless reprogrammed via the I/O pin using 1-Wire protocol.
Can the DS1073Z-100 operate with a crystal reference, and what are the constraints?
Yes, the DS1073Z-100 supports crystal reference via XTAL and OSCIN pins. The crystal must operate in fundamental mode and be rated ≤25MHz. It connects between XTAL and OSCIN; OSCIN must not be driven externally in this configuration. No load capacitors are required-the device integrates appropriate capacitance internally.
How does the synchronous output enable (OE) function prevent pulse truncation in the DS1073Z-100?
The DS1073Z-100 uses an enabling sequencer that samples OE with the prescaler output (MCLK) and gates it with the divider output. If OE goes low while OUT is high, the output is held low at the next high-to-low transition-not immediately-ensuring full pulse width integrity. This behavior is guaranteed across all N-divider values and reference modes.
What is the power-up sequence timing for the DS1073Z-100, and how does OE affect it?
DS1073Z-100 requires ≤1ms from VCC application to stable output (tPOR + tSTAB). OE must be asserted high before or during this interval to initiate output enable; if OE remains low, tSTAB starts only after OE rises. For reliable startup, assert OE high at power-on and optionally deassert it post-stabilization to force low output.
Is the DS1073Z-100 pin-compatible with other DS1073 variants like DS1073M-100?
Yes, the DS1073Z-100 (150-mil SOIC-8) and DS1073M-100 (300-mil DIP-8) share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and functional behavior. Only package type differs-SOIC vs. DIP-so PCB layout must match the chosen variant's footprint, but firmware, register settings, and system integration are fully interchangeable.
