Product details
Overview
DS1085LZ-12B2+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a dual-output, nonvolatile, user-programmable frequency synthesizer IC with independent 8.1kHz–133MHz main oscillator (OUT1) and 8.2MHz–133MHz reference oscillator (OUT0) outputs, 0.75% absolute frequency accuracy, and 2-wire serial interface for in-circuit reprogramming - used in embedded timing control, programmable clock generation, and processor-peripheral synchronization.
For engineers reviewing the DS1085LZ-12B2+ datasheet, DS1085LZ-12B2+ pinout, DS1085LZ-12B2+ application, or DS1085LZ-12B2+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual synchronous outputs, EEPROM-stored configuration, 5V single-supply operation, power-down mode via CTRL0/CTRL1, and factory-default 10kHz step resolution enabling precise frequency synthesis without external components.
Technical Context
The DS1085LZ-12B2+ integrates a 66–133MHz internal master oscillator controlled by a 10-bit DAC and OFFSET register, feeding two independent prescalers (P0 and P1, each selectable divide-by-1/2/4/8) and a 10-bit programmable divider (N = 2–1025) for OUT1. Its architecture enables glitch-free, synchronous output enable/disable via dedicated CTRL0 and CTRL1 pins with constant latency to first edge.
Frequency programming occurs over a standard 2-wire (I²C-compatible) interface supporting both 100kHz and 400kHz modes; all register settings - including DAC, OFFSET, DIV, MUX, and ADDR - are stored nonvolatily in on-chip EEPROM, allowing standalone operation after power-up with factory- or user-defined defaults.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range (OUT1) | 8.1kHz to 133MHz - supports low-frequency system clocks and high-speed digital interfaces without external dividers. |
| Output Frequency Range (OUT0) | 8.2MHz to 133MHz - provides stable reference clock for PLLs, ADCs, or microcontrollers with synchronous enable. |
| Master Oscillator Accuracy | ±0.75% absolute - ensures reliable timing across voltage and temperature without calibration. |
| Step Size | 10kHz - matches DS1085Z-10 variant; enables fine-grained frequency tuning within DAC span. |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75V to 5.25V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails; no level-shifting required for SDA/SCL. |
| Power-Down Current | 5mA typical - reduces system power during idle periods while retaining NV configuration. |
| Interface Protocol | 2-wire serial (I²C-compatible) - allows dynamic reconfiguration in live systems using existing MCU GPIOs. |
Pinout & Package
DS1085LZ-12B2+ is housed in a 150mil SOIC-8 package (8-pin surface-mount), pin-compatible with DS1085Z series variants and optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Main oscillator output | Programmable 8.1kHz–133MHz clock; driven by P1 prescaler and N divider; synchronous enable via CTRL1. |
| OUT0 | Reference oscillator output | Programmable 8.2MHz–133MHz clock; driven by P0 prescaler; synchronous enable via CTRL0. |
| VCC | Power supply | Single 5V supply input; powers internal oscillator, logic, and output drivers. |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for analog and digital circuitry; must be low-impedance for jitter control. |
| CTRL0 | Multifunction control input | Configurable as OUT0 enable, mux select, or device power-down (via PDN0 bit); OR'd with CTRL1 for global shutdown. |
| CTRL1 | Multifunction control input | Configurable as OUT1 enable or device power-down (via PDN1 bit); OR'd with CTRL0 for global shutdown. |
| SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for register read/write; requires external pull-up; supports 100/400kHz modes. |
| SCL | 2-wire serial clock input | Input-only clock line synchronized to master; defines timing for SDA transitions and acknowledge cycles. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous outputs | OUT0 and OUT1 share same master clock source but operate independently - eliminates inter-output skew in multi-clock domain systems. |
| Nonvolatile frequency storage | All DAC, OFFSET, DIV, and MUX settings retained in EEPROM - enables plug-and-play deployment without host initialization. |
| Glitch-free output enable | CTRL0/CTRL1 trigger synchronous edge-aligned enable - prevents metastability or false triggering in downstream logic. |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator core - eliminates BOM cost, layout area, and tolerance sensitivity of crystals or RC networks. |
| Smart power-down mode | Global shutdown via either CTRL0 or CTRL1 (configurable OR logic) - reduces active current to 5mA while preserving register state. |
Applications
| Processor Clock Generation | Communications Timing Reference |
|---|---|
|

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1086LZ-10+ | Single-output variant (OUT1 only); identical 10kHz step size and EEPROM programming; lacks OUT0 reference output. | Used where only one programmable clock is needed; not suitable for dual-clock domain designs. | Select when reference clock is sourced elsewhere (e.g., external crystal or system clock tree). |
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output, 10MHz–200MHz I²C-programmable clock generator; ±25ppm initial accuracy; integrated PLLs; 3.3V supply. | Higher frequency range and output count; requires external 25MHz crystal; lower absolute accuracy than DS1085LZ-12B2+. | Choose for multi-output, higher-precision, or mixed-voltage systems - but adds BOM complexity and layout constraints. |
Compared with DS1085LZ-12B2+, DS1086LZ-10+ reduces cost and footprint for single-clock use cases, while Si5351A-B-GM offers greater flexibility at the expense of tighter supply requirements, external component dependency, and reduced absolute accuracy - making DS1085LZ-12B2+ optimal for robust, self-contained 5V dual-clock synthesis.

FAQ
What is the default output frequency of DS1085LZ-12B2+ at power-up?
The DS1085LZ-12B2+ powers up with factory-programmed nonvolatile settings: default master oscillator frequency is 97.1MHz (matching DS1085Z-10 variant), P0 and P1 prescalers set to divide-by-1, and DIV1 = 0, resulting in OUT0 = 97.1MHz and OUT1 = 97.1MHz / N (where N = 2 by default, yielding 48.55MHz). These values are stored in EEPROM and require no host initialization.
Does DS1085LZ-12B2+ support 3.3V operation?
No, DS1085LZ-12B2+ is specified for 4.75V to 5.25V operation only. Its internal oscillator, output drivers, and 2-wire interface are designed for 5V logic levels; applying 3.3V will result in undefined behavior, failed communication, or failure to meet timing specifications. For 3.3V systems, consider level-shifting the SDA/SCL lines or selecting a 3.3V-compatible alternative like Si5351A.
Can DS1085LZ-12B2+ generate sub-10kHz frequencies?
No - the minimum programmable frequency for DS1085LZ-12B2+ is 8.1kHz on OUT1, achieved with maximum N = 1025 and P1 = ÷8 applied to the lowest master oscillator frequency (66MHz). Frequencies below 8.1kHz are outside specification and not supported by the internal divider architecture or AC characterization.
How is the 0.75% absolute accuracy of DS1085LZ-12B2+ maintained across temperature?
The 0.75% absolute accuracy of DS1085LZ-12B2+ includes initial tolerance, temperature drift (±0.5% over 0°C to +70°C), supply variation (±1.0%), and DAC nonlinearity (±0.4%). It is guaranteed over the full operating range without calibration - achieved through factory-trimmed DAC and oscillator compensation circuits embedded in the silicon, not via external feedback or software correction.
Is DS1085LZ-12B2+ pin-compatible with other DS1085Z variants?
Yes - DS1085LZ-12B2+ uses the same 150mil SOIC-8 package and identical pinout as DS1085Z-10, DS1085Z-25, and DS1085Z-50. All share identical VCC, GND, SDA, SCL, CTRL0, CTRL1, OUT0, and OUT1 assignments; only internal step size and default OFFSET differ, making them drop-in replacements for footprint and interface purposes.
