Product details
Overview
DS1085LZ-5+W from Maxim Integrated (now Analog Devices) is a user-programmable dual-output frequency synthesizer IC operating from a single 3.0–3.6V supply. It delivers synchronous, independently programmable outputs: OUT0 reference oscillator (4.13MHz to 66MHz) and OUT1 main oscillator (4.1kHz to 66MHz), with 0.75% absolute frequency accuracy and nonvolatile EEPROM storage of settings. It serves as a standalone clock source or dynamically reconfigurable timing peripheral in embedded microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1085LZ-5+W datasheet, DS1085LZ-5+W pinout, DS1085LZ-5+W application, or DS1085LZ-5+W equivalent, key selection considerations include its 5kHz DAC step resolution, 8-pin SO (150mil) package, 2-wire serial interface for in-circuit programming, power-down mode with 1.5mA standby current, and factory-default 48.58MHz master oscillator frequency.
Technical Context
The DS1085LZ-5+W integrates a 33–66MHz internal master oscillator controlled by a 10-bit DAC with 5kHz step resolution and a 5-bit OFFSET register, enabling precise frequency synthesis across overlapping ranges. Its architecture includes two independent prescalers (P0 and P1, each selectable as ÷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 logic supports multifunction pins CTRL0 and CTRL1 for output enable, mux select, and OR-connected power-down - ensuring glitch-free output transitions and deterministic enable-to-first-edge delay. All configuration registers (DAC, OFFSET, DIV, MUX, ADDR) are nonvolatile and accessible via standard-mode (100kHz) or fast-mode (400kHz) 2-wire serial interface with slave address 0xB0/0xB1.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | OUT0: 4.13MHz–66MHz; OUT1: 4.1kHz–66MHz - enables flexible clock tree generation for mixed-speed digital subsystems. |
| DAC Step Size | 5kHz - defines minimum programmable frequency increment for the master oscillator in DS1085LZ-5+W variant. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V–3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic domains without level-shifting. |
| Accuracy | ±0.75% absolute - guarantees initial frequency tolerance without external calibration. |
| Interface | 2-wire (I²C-compatible) - allows in-system reprogramming using standard microcontroller GPIOs and minimal PCB footprint. |
| Power-Down Current | 1.5mA - reduces system-level standby power in battery-sensitive applications. |
| Package | 8-pin SOIC (150mil) - industry-standard surface-mount package supporting automated assembly and thermal reliability. |
Pinout & Package
DS1085LZ-5+W is housed in an 8-pin Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with 150mil body width and standard JEDEC MS-012AC dimensions. Pin spacing is 1.27mm (0.050"), and lead finish is matte tin.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1: OUT1 | Main oscillator output | Delivers final synthesized frequency (4.1kHz–66MHz) after P1 prescaler and N divider; CMOS-compatible output stage. |
| 2: OUT0 | Reference oscillator output | Provides high-frequency reference (4.13MHz–66MHz) derived from P0 prescaler; synchronous with OUT1 but independently configurable. |
| 3: VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 3.0–3.6V DC; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor near pin. |
| 4: GND | Ground reference | Analog/digital common ground return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize jitter. |
| 5: CTRL0 | Multifunction control input | Configurable as OUT0 enable, MCLK/M mux select, or device power-down (OR'd with CTRL1). |
| 6: CTRL1 | Multifunction control input | Configurable as OUT1 enable or device power-down; internally OR'd with CTRL0 for system-level shutdown. |
| 7: SDA | 2-wire serial data I/O | Open-drain bidirectional line; requires external pull-up resistor (typically 4.7kΩ) to VCC. |
| 8: SCL | 2-wire serial clock input | Input-only clock line; synchronizes all register reads/writes and EEPROM commits. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual synchronous outputs | OUT0 and OUT1 share same master oscillator clock domain, eliminating inter-output phase drift in timing-critical systems. |
| Nonvolatile frequency storage | All DAC, OFFSET, prescaler, and divider settings retained in EEPROM - enables true "plug-and-play" operation after power cycle. |
| Glitch-free output enable | CTRL0/CTRL1 assert synchronized to internal clock edge, preventing runt pulses or metastability on enabled outputs. |
| Factory-default frequency | Preprogrammed 48.58MHz master oscillator (DAC=500, OFFSET=OS) ensures immediate functional operation without host initialization. |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator core eliminates need for crystals, capacitors, or resistors - reduces BOM count and layout sensitivity. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1085LZ-12+W | 12.5kHz DAC step size; wider 12.8MHz DAC span; default 52.3MHz master frequency. | Better suited for coarse-step applications where fine-grained 5kHz resolution is unnecessary and higher default frequency simplifies design. | Select when system clock requirements align with 12.5kHz granularity and 52.3MHz baseline - no PCB changes required. |
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output, 10ppm stability, integrated crystal, I²C interface; no NV memory - requires host initialization on every power-up. | Preferred for ultra-low-jitter (< 1ps RMS) RF applications; lacks power-down mode and absolute accuracy guarantee of DS1085LZ-5+W. | Choose for jitter-sensitive RF synthesis where external crystal integration and multi-output flexibility outweigh nonvolatile operation. |
Compared with DS1085LZ-12+W, DS1085LZ-5+W offers finer frequency resolution ideal for precision timing margining; versus Si5351A-B-GM, it trades lower jitter for guaranteed startup behavior and zero-host-initialization operation - critical in safety-critical or remote-deployed systems.

FAQ
What is the default output frequency of DS1085LZ-5+W at power-up?
The DS1085LZ-5+W powers up with a factory-programmed master oscillator frequency of 48.58MHz, achieved using DAC value 500 and OFFSET value OS. This yields OUT0 at 48.58MHz (P0 = ÷1) and OUT1 at 48.58MHz (P1 = ÷1, DIV1 = 1). These values are stored nonvolatively and require no host initialization to function immediately as a clock source.
Can DS1085LZ-5+W generate sub-1MHz frequencies on OUT1?
Yes, DS1085LZ-5+W can generate frequencies as low as 4.1kHz on OUT1 by combining the 5kHz DAC step resolution with the 10-bit programmable divider (N = 2–1025) and P1 prescaler (÷1/÷2/÷4/÷8). For example, with a 33MHz master oscillator and P1 = ÷8, setting N = 1025 produces ~4.05kHz - well within the specified 4.1kHz–66MHz range.
Does DS1085LZ-5+W require an external crystal or resonator?
No, DS1085LZ-5+W contains a fully integrated silicon-based master oscillator and requires no external timing components. Its self-contained architecture eliminates crystals, load capacitors, and associated layout constraints - confirmed in the device description stating "no external timing components" and validated by the absence of XTAL or OSCIN pins in the pin assignment.
How does the power-down mode work on DS1085LZ-5+W?
DS1085LZ-5+W enters power-down mode when either CTRL0 or CTRL1 is driven LOW while their respective PDN0 or PDN1 register bits are set to 1. Both control pins are internally OR'd, so asserting either pin disables both outputs and shuts down the master oscillator. The device draws only 1.5mA in this state and resumes full operation within 500µs of exiting power-down, with outputs re-enabled synchronously to avoid glitches.
Is DS1085LZ-5+W compatible with standard I²C buses?
Yes, DS1085LZ-5+W implements a standard 2-wire serial interface compliant with I²C protocol timing - supporting both standard mode (100kHz) and fast mode (400kHz) clock rates. It uses slave address 0xB0 (write) / 0xB1 (read) with device-select bits A2–A0, and features open-drain SDA/SCL pins with standard acknowledge signaling - verified in the SLAVE ADDRESS and 2-WIRE SERIAL DATA BUS sections.
