Product details
Overview
DS1085LZ-5B2+ from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a user-programmable dual-output frequency synthesizer IC with nonvolatile EEPROM configuration, operating from a single 5V supply. It delivers synchronous, independently programmable outputs: OUT0 reference oscillator (8.2MHz–133MHz) and OUT1 main oscillator (8.1kHz–133MHz), with 0.75% absolute frequency accuracy and three selectable step sizes (10/25/50kHz). It serves as a standalone clock source or dynamically reconfigurable timing peripheral in embedded control and communication systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1085LZ-5B2+ datasheet, DS1085LZ-5B2+ pinout, DS1085LZ-5B2+ application, or DS1085LZ-5B2+ equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual-synchronous output architecture, 2-wire serial programmability, power-down mode with glitch-free enable, factory-default 101.8MHz master oscillator, and SO-8 (150mil) package compatibility with legacy DS1085Z variants.
Technical Context
The DS1085LZ-5B2+ integrates a digitally controlled master oscillator (66–133MHz) with a 10-bit DAC and 5-bit OFFSET register to achieve precise frequency synthesis across overlapping ranges. Its dual-path architecture uses independent prescalers (P0/P1, ÷1/2/4/8) feeding separate output paths: OUT0 directly from P0, and OUT1 via P1 followed by a 10-bit programmable divider (N = 2–1025) or bypass (DIV1 = 1).
Control is implemented through an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface (SCL/SDA) supporting both standard (100kHz) and fast (400kHz) modes. Multifunction pins CTRL0 and CTRL1 support configurable output enable, mux select, and OR-connected power-down - enabling low-power operation without external circuitry while ensuring synchronous, glitch-free output transitions on enable.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |

Pinout & Package
DS1085LZ-5B2+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (150mil width), pin-compatible with industry-standard SO-8 footprints and thermally optimized for surface-mount assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT1 | Main oscillator output | Delivers final synthesized frequency (8.1kHz–133MHz); driven by P1 prescaler and N divider (or bypassed) |
| OUT0 | Reference oscillator output | Provides high-frequency reference (8.2MHz–133MHz); sourced directly from P0 prescaler |
| VCC | Positive power supply | Single 5V rail powers internal oscillator, logic, and output drivers; no auxiliary supplies required |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return path for all analog and digital circuitry; requires low-impedance PCB connection |
| CTRL0 | Configurable control input | Programmable as OUT0 enable, MUX select, or global power-down (with CTRL1 OR logic) |
| CTRL1 | Configurable control input | Programmable as OUT1 enable or global power-down; complements CTRL0 for flexible system control |
| SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line for I²C read/write operations; supports standard/fast mode protocols |
| SCL | 2-wire serial clock input | Master-generated clock synchronizing all register access; tolerates 100kHz/400kHz frequencies |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous outputs | OUT0 and OUT1 share master oscillator clock domain but operate at independently programmed frequencies - eliminates inter-channel skew in multi-clock systems |
| Nonvolatile frequency storage | All DAC, OFFSET, P0/P1, and N settings retained in EEPROM - enables plug-and-play operation without host MCU initialization |
| Glitch-free output enable | CTRL0/CTRL1 assert outputs only after stable clock edge - prevents metastability or false triggers in downstream logic |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator core requires no crystals, capacitors, or inductors - reduces BOM count and layout complexity |
| Smart power-down mode | OR-connected CTRL0/CTRL1 inputs disable both outputs before shutting down master oscillator - ensures clean state transition and <5mA quiescent current |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar frequency synthesizer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1085Z-50+ | Identical 50kHz step size and SO-8 package; differs only in temperature grade (0°C to +70°C vs. -40°C to +85°C for DS1085LZ-5B2+) | Not rated for extended industrial temperature range; unsuitable for outdoor or high-ambient environments | Select DS1085Z-50+ only for commercial-grade applications where ambient stays within 0°C–70°C |
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output CMOS clock generator with integrated PLL; wider frequency range (8kHz–200MHz); requires external crystal; no nonvolatile memory | Needs external 25MHz crystal and configuration firmware; lacks true drop-in capability due to different pinout and power sequencing | Choose Si5351A-B-GM when >2 outputs or higher frequency resolution (ppb-level) is required, accepting added design complexity |
Compared with DS1085Z-50+, DS1085LZ-5B2+ adds extended temperature operation and enhanced reliability screening, while Si5351A-B-GM trades simplicity and nonvolatility for greater flexibility and output count - making DS1085LZ-5B2+ optimal for robust, self-contained dual-clock systems.

FAQ
What is the default output frequency of DS1085LZ-5B2+ at power-up?
The DS1085LZ-5B2+ powers up with a factory-programmed default master oscillator frequency of 101.8MHz, configured per the DS1085Z-50 variant specification. This value is stored nonvolatively in EEPROM and determines initial OUT0 and OUT1 frequencies based on default prescaler (P0=P1=1) and divider (N=1025) settings. The actual output frequencies can be verified using the DAC word (08h), OFFSET byte (0Eh), and MUX register (02h) contents read via the 2-wire interface.
Does DS1085LZ-5B2+ require an external crystal or resonator?
No, DS1085LZ-5B2+ does not require any external timing components. It contains a fully integrated, user-programmable master oscillator (66–133MHz) with internal DAC and OFFSET control. All frequency generation - including both OUT0 and OUT1 outputs - is derived solely from this on-chip oscillator, prescalers, and dividers. This eliminates BOM cost, layout area, and reliability risks associated with external crystals or capacitors.
Can DS1085LZ-5B2+ generate sub-1MHz frequencies on OUT1?
Yes, DS1085LZ-5B2+ can generate frequencies as low as 8.1kHz on OUT1 by combining the master oscillator (minimum 66MHz), P1 prescaler (÷8), and the 10-bit programmable divider (N = 2–1025). For example, with a 66MHz master clock, P1 = ÷8 (8.25MHz), and N = 1025, OUT1 = 8.05kHz - meeting the specified 8.1kHz lower limit. The DIV1 bit also allows bypassing the divider entirely for direct prescaled output.
How does the power-down mode function on DS1085LZ-5B2+?
DS1085LZ-5B2+ enters power-down mode when either CTRL0 or CTRL1 is asserted low with their respective PDN0 or PDN1 bits enabled in the MUX register. Both control pins are internally OR-connected, so asserting either disables both outputs first, then shuts down the master oscillator. Total supply current drops to 5mA, and the device retains all register settings in EEPROM. Recovery requires deasserting the control pin and waiting ~500µs for output stabilization - no reprogramming is needed.
Is DS1085LZ-5B2+ pin-compatible with other DS1085 variants?
Yes, DS1085LZ-5B2+ is pin-compatible with all DS1085Z-series devices in the 8-pin SOIC (150mil) package, including DS1085Z-10+, DS1085Z-25+, and DS1085Z-50+. Pin functions (OUT1, OUT0, VCC, GND, CTRL0, CTRL1, SDA, SCL) and electrical characteristics are identical. The primary differences lie in step size (10/25/50kHz), default DAC/OFFSET values, and temperature grade - all of which are software-configurable and do not affect physical layout or interface compatibility.
