Product details
Overview
DS1077LU-50 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, nonvolatile, programmable fixed-frequency oscillator with 2-wire serial interface, delivering synchronous OUT0 (reference) and OUT1 (main) outputs ranging from 6.09kHz to 50.000MHz. It features ±0.5% initial frequency tolerance, ±1.25% variation over temperature and supply voltage, and operates from a single 2.7V–3.6V supply. Used in embedded timing control for microcontroller clocking, FPGA configuration, and industrial PLCs where stable, field-programmable clock sources are required.
For engineers reviewing the DS1077LU-50 datasheet, DS1077LU-50 pinout, DS1077LU-50 application, or DS1077LU-50 equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, real-world design meaning of key specs, validated pin functions, confirmed alternative options, and supply support details specific to the DS1077LU-50 µSOP variant.
Technical Context
The DS1077LU-50 integrates an internal master oscillator factory-trimmed for 50MHz nominal operation, two independent prescalers (P0 and P1, each selectable for ÷1/÷2/÷4/÷8), and a programmable N-divider (2–1025) on OUT1. Its 2-wire serial interface supports both standard (100kHz) and fast-mode (400kHz) operation, enabling in-circuit frequency reprogramming with EEPROM storage.
Control logic allows independent power-down and output-enable functions via CTRL0 and CTRL1 pins, with OR-connected shutdown capability. Output gating is synchronous, and both outputs exhibit low jitter (50ps pk-pk at 66MHz) and 40–60% duty cycle across the full frequency range.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 6.09kHz to 50.000MHz - covers UART baud clocks, MCU system clocks, and FPGA reference clocks without external components. |
| Initial Tolerance | ±0.5% - ensures accurate timing at power-up before temperature/voltage drift occurs. |
| Temp/Voltage Variation | ±1.25% - guarantees stable operation across -40°C to +85°C and 2.7V–3.6V supply range. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V–3.6V - compatible with modern 3.3V logic systems and battery-backed applications. |
| Active Supply Current | 20mA max (at 50MHz, 15pF load) - enables low-power timing in portable and energy-sensitive designs. |
| Power-Down Current | 10µA - reduces standby power by >99% when outputs are disabled via CTRL0/CTRL1. |
| Output Jitter | 50ps pk-pk (3σ, 66MHz) - meets setup/hold margin requirements for high-speed digital interfaces. |
Pinout & Package
DS1077LU-50 is housed in an 8-pin, 118mil µSOP package (JEDEC MO-187AA), optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Main oscillator output | Delivers primary clock signal; frequency set by P1 prescaler and optional N-divider (bypassable via DIV1 bit). |
| OUT0 | Reference output | Provides secondary synchronized clock; frequency determined solely by P0 prescaler (÷1/÷2/÷4/÷8). |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 2.7V–3.6V supply input; requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers. |
| CTRL0 | Multi-function control pin | Configurable as MUX select, OUT0 enable, or power-down (via EN0/SEL0/PDN0 register bits). |
| CTRL1 | Multi-function control pin | Configurable as OUT1 enable or power-down (via PDN1 register bit); OR-connected with CTRL0 for device shutdown. |
| SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for EEPROM programming; requires 5kΩ pull-up resistor. |
| SCL | 2-wire serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all register reads/writes; supports 100kHz/400kHz modes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous outputs | OUT0 and OUT1 share same master clock source and prescaler architecture, ensuring deterministic phase relationship for multi-clock domain synchronization. |
| Nonvolatile frequency settings | EEPROM stores P0, P1, and N values; retains configuration across power cycles without external memory or boot-time initialization. |
| On-the-fly frequency reprogramming | Full register update via 2-wire interface while powered - enables dynamic clock scaling in real-time firmware-controlled systems. |
| Synchronous output gating | Both outputs transition to Hi-Z only at logic-low crossing, eliminating glitches during enable/disable transitions. |
| No external components | Self-contained oscillator core eliminates need for crystals, capacitors, or resistors - reduces BOM count and layout complexity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1077LZ-50 | Same silicon die and electrical specs, but packaged in 8-pin 150mil SO instead of µSOP. | Requires larger PCB footprint; better thermal dissipation and hand-solderability. | Select DS1077LZ-50 for prototyping, manual assembly, or higher-power thermal environments. |
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with fractional-N PLL; wider frequency range (8kHz–160MHz) but higher supply current (25mA typical). | Supports multiple independent frequencies and spread-spectrum modulation; not drop-in compatible. | Choose Si5351A-B-GM when multi-frequency synthesis or jitter reduction below 50ps is required. |
Compared with DS1077LZ-50, the DS1077LU-50 saves board area with its 118mil µSOP; compared with Si5351A-B-GM, it offers lower power, simpler register map, and guaranteed sub-1% stability without PLL loop tuning - ideal for cost- and space-sensitive fixed-frequency applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency of the DS1077LU-50?
The DS1077LU-50 supports a maximum output frequency of 50.000MHz on both OUT0 and OUT1 outputs. This upper limit is defined by the -50 frequency option variant and corresponds to the master oscillator's nominal frequency. Frequencies above 50MHz (e.g., 66.666MHz) require the DS1077LU-66 variant - the DS1077LU-50 cannot be configured beyond its rated 50MHz maximum.
Does the DS1077LU-50 require external passive components to operate?
No, the DS1077LU-50 requires no external passive components for basic oscillator operation. Its internal master oscillator, prescalers, and divider are fully self-contained. Only two external 0.01µF and 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitors on VCC/GND are recommended for optimal noise immunity - no crystal, load capacitors, or pull-up resistors are needed for core functionality.
How is frequency programmed on the DS1077LU-50?
Frequency on the DS1077LU-50 is programmed via its 2-wire serial interface using three register groups: MUX (sets P0 and P1 prescaler values), DIV (sets N-divider value 2–1025), and BUS (device address). Values are written to volatile registers first, then stored permanently in EEPROM either automatically (WC=0) or explicitly via WRITE E2 command (WC=1).
Can the DS1077LU-50 generate two different frequencies simultaneously?
Yes, the DS1077LU-50 generates two independent, synchronous frequencies: OUT0 is derived solely from the P0 prescaler (÷1/÷2/÷4/÷8 of master clock), while OUT1 is derived from P1 prescaler optionally followed by the N-divider (2–1025). For example, with a 50MHz master clock, OUT0 can be 12.5MHz (÷4) while OUT1 is 1MHz (÷50), both phase-locked to the same source.
What is the power-down behavior of the DS1077LU-50?
When power-down is asserted via CTRL0 or CTRL1 (with PDN0=1 or PDN1=1), the DS1077LU-50 disables both outputs (driving them Hi-Z), halts internal clock generation, and reduces supply current to ≤10µA. Outputs remain disabled until power-down signal is removed and internal stabilization completes (~1ms). The device retains all register and EEPROM settings during power-down.
