Product details
Overview
DS1077LU-66 from Maxim Integrated is a dual-output, nonvolatile, 2-wire programmable oscillator with main output at 66.666MHz and reference output down to 8.13kHz. It integrates an internal master oscillator, two independent prescalers (P0/P1), and a programmable divider (N = 2–1025), all controlled via EEPROM-stored register settings. Used in embedded timing systems requiring stable, field-reprogrammable clock sources such as industrial controllers and communications interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS1077LU-66 datasheet, DS1077LU-66 pinout, DS1077LU-66 application, or DS1077LU-66 equivalent, this page delivers verified functional identity, confirmed pin roles, real-world jitter and tolerance specs, and validated alternative options for fixed-frequency clock synthesis with on-the-fly reconfiguration capability.
Technical Context
The DS1077LU-66 implements a master oscillator architecture with synchronous dual outputs: OUT1 derives from P1 prescaler followed by optional N-divider (bypassable via DIV1 bit), while OUT0 routes directly from P0 prescaler. Both outputs share the same master clock source but operate independently via separate control registers stored in EEPROM.
Its 2-wire serial interface supports standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) modes, enabling in-circuit programming of P0, P1, and N values without requiring external components. Power-down is implemented via OR-connected CTRL0/CTRL1 pins, with smart Hi-Z output gating synchronized to low-state transitions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DS1077LU-66 is housed in an 8-pin 118mil µSOP package - compact footprint optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts in portable and dense industrial modules.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Main oscillator output | Delivers primary clock signal; frequency determined by P1 prescaler and optional N-divider (DIV1-controlled). |
| OUT0 | Reference output | Provides secondary clock derived solely from P0 prescaler; used for synchronization or auxiliary timing domains. |
| VCC | Power-supply voltage | Single 2.7–3.6V supply input; requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet recommendation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all internal circuitry and output drivers; must be low-impedance connection. |
| CTRL0 | Configurable control pin for OUT0 | Programmable as MUX select, output enable, or power-down (via EN0/SEL0/PDN0 bits); supports flexible system-level control. |
| CTRL1 | Configurable control pin for OUT1 | Programmable as output enable or power-down (via PDN1 bit); OR-connected with CTRL0 for global shutdown. |
| SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for register read/write; requires external 5kΩ pull-up resistor. |
| SCL | 2-wire serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all I²C transactions; supports both standard and fast mode timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous outputs | OUT1 and OUT0 derive from same master oscillator but are independently prescaled-enabling precise phase-aligned clock domains without external PLLs. |
| Nonvolatile frequency storage | All P0, P1, N, and control register values persist in EEPROM; device powers up with last-programmed configuration-no boot-time initialization required. |
| On-the-fly frequency reprogramming | Full register set modifiable in-circuit via 2-wire interface without reset or power cycle-supports dynamic clock scaling in adaptive systems. |
| Synchronous output gating | Both outputs transition to Hi-Z only after detecting low state, preventing glitches during enable/disable-critical for glitch-free system resets. |
| Low-jitter performance | 50ps (3σ) jitter at 66MHz ensures compliance with PCIe, USB, and Ethernet PHY timing budgets without additional cleanup circuitry. |

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 integrated PLL; wider frequency range (8kHz–200MHz), higher jitter (≈100ps), requires external crystal. | Supports multi-phase outputs and fractional-N synthesis; better suited for complex clock trees than dual-fixed synthesis. | Choose Si5351A-B-GM when >2 outputs or sub-hertz resolution is required; DS1077LU-66 remains optimal for simple, low-jitter dual-output needs. |
| ICS8430I-01T | Fixed-frequency dual-output oscillator (66.666MHz/33.333MHz); no programmability; ±50ppm stability; no serial interface or EEPROM. | Drop-in replacement only for static clocking; lacks field reconfiguration, power-down control, or output gating. | Choose ICS8430I-01T for cost-sensitive, unchanging clock requirements; DS1077LU-66 adds flexibility where design iteration or runtime adaptation is needed. |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM and ICS8430I-01T, the DS1077LU-66 uniquely balances low-jitter dual-output generation, EEPROM-based nonvolatility, and minimal component count-making it ideal for applications demanding reliability, simplicity, and field-upgradable timing without PLL complexity or crystal dependency.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency of the DS1077LU-66?
The DS1077LU-66 delivers a maximum main output frequency of 66.666MHz on the OUT1 pin. This value is factory-set for the -66 variant and corresponds to the upper limit of its specified frequency range. The actual output depends on programmed prescaler (P1) and divider (N) values, but the device is characterized and guaranteed to operate stably at 66.666MHz under standard load conditions (CL = 15pF) and supply (VCC = 2.7–3.6V). DS1077LU-66 does not support frequencies above this rating.
Does the DS1077LU-66 require an external crystal or resonator?
No, the DS1077LU-66 contains a fully integrated, factory-trimmed silicon oscillator and requires no external crystal, resonator, or load capacitors. Its master clock is generated internally and routed through programmable prescalers and dividers to produce the final outputs. This eliminates board-level tuning components, reduces BOM count, and improves reliability in vibration- or shock-prone environments. DS1077LU-66 operates as a complete, self-contained clock source.
How is frequency programmed on the DS1077LU-66?
Frequency is programmed via the 2-wire serial interface using three register groups: P0 and P1 prescaler control bits (0M1/0M0 and 1M1/1M0) set division ratios of 1, 2, 4, or 8, while the 10-bit N divider (DIV WORD) sets division from 2 to 1025. These values are written to volatile registers and optionally stored in nonvolatile EEPROM using the WRITE E2 command (if WC = 1) or automatically (if WC = 0). DS1077LU-66 retains settings across power cycles.
What is the purpose of the CTRL0 and CTRL1 pins on the DS1077LU-66?
CTRL0 and CTRL1 are multifunctional control inputs that can be configured via EEPROM registers as output enables or power-down triggers. CTRL0 controls OUT0 (enable, MUX select, or shutdown), while CTRL1 controls OUT1 (enable or shutdown). They are internally OR-connected-asserting either pin places the entire device into power-down mode (10µA ICCQ). This provides hardware-level fail-safe control independent of serial communication. DS1077LU-66 uses these pins for deterministic, glitch-free output gating.
Can the DS1077LU-66 generate two completely independent frequencies?
Yes, the DS1077LU-66 generates two independent, synchronous frequencies from a shared master oscillator: OUT0 is derived exclusively from the P0 prescaler (division by 1, 2, 4, or 8), while OUT1 is derived from P1 prescaler followed by the programmable N-divider (or bypassed via DIV1 bit). Because P0 and P1 are separately configurable and N is independent, the two outputs can operate at unrelated frequencies-e.g., 66.666MHz and 8.13kHz-as long as both fall within the device's overall 4.87kHz–66.666MHz range. DS1077LU-66 guarantees phase coherence between them.
