Product details
Overview
DS1086LU-440/V+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V spread-spectrum programmable clock oscillator generating dithered square-wave outputs from 130kHz to 66.6MHz, featuring 0.5–8% selectable dither depth, 5kHz DAC step resolution, and nonvolatile EEPROM configuration storage for stand-alone operation in EMI-sensitive digital systems such as printers, cable modems, and PC peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the DS1086LU-440/V+T datasheet, DS1086LU-440/V+T pinout, DS1086LU-440/V+T application, or DS1086LU-440/V+T equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed EMI-reduction performance metrics, industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C), and real-world alternative part comparisons grounded in Maxim's official specifications and ordering documentation.
Technical Context
The DS1086LU-440/V+T integrates a voltage-controlled master oscillator (33.3–66.6MHz) with a programmable triangle-wave dither generator, enabling unidirectional frequency modulation at rates of fOSC/8192, /4096, or /2048. Its output is derived via a digitally controlled prescaler (2x, x = 0–8) and a 10-bit DAC stepping in 5kHz increments across user-selected OFFSET ranges.
Configuration is retained in on-chip NV EEPROM and accessed via a standard 2-wire interface (I²C-compatible, up to 400kHz). External controls include SPRD (dither enable), PDN (master oscillator shutdown), and OE (output buffer gate), all supporting glitchless transitions and synchronous enable timing.
Key Specifications

| Output Frequency Range | 130kHz to 66.6MHz - covers USB, PCIe reference, Ethernet PHY, and processor clock domains without external PLLs |
| Dither Depth Options | 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, or 8% - enables compliance with CISPR 22/32 Class B radiated emission limits |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with modern 3.3V logic rails and tolerant of typical board-level ripple |
| Operating Temperature | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded applications including network infrastructure |

Pinout & Package
DS1086LU-440/V+T is housed in an 8-pin μSOP package (118 mil width), thermally optimized for high-density PCB layouts and RoHS-compliant reflow assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT (Pin 1) | Oscillator Output | CMOS square-wave output; drives 15pF load with 45–55% duty cycle; disabled to Hi-Z or low per Lo/HiZ bit in PRESCALER register |
| SPRD (Pin 2) | Dither Enable Input | Active-high control: enables triangle-wave injection into VCO for spectral spreading; no dither when low |
| VCC (Pin 3) | Power Supply | Primary 3.3V supply input; requires 0.1μF + 0.01μF decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines |
| GND (Pin 4) | Ground Reference | Analog/digital common return; must be connected to low-impedance ground plane for EMI integrity |
| OE (Pin 5) | Output Enable | Active-high gate: disables output buffer while keeping master oscillator running; ensures zero-output-glitch enable |
| PDN (Pin 6) | Power-Down Control | Active-low master oscillator disable; enters sub-10μA standby mode; requires ≥2 output cycles + 10μs hold for clean deglitching |
| SDA (Pin 7) | 2-Wire Serial Data | Open-drain bidirectional I/O; supports wire-OR with other I²C slaves; 5pF input capacitance |
| SCL (Pin 8) | 2-Wire Serial Clock | Input-only clock line; accepts standard-mode (100kHz) or fast-mode (400kHz) timing; synchronizes register reads/writes |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum dithering | Reduces peak radiated emissions by up to 12dB (measured at 120kHz RBW), eliminating need for external shielding or ferrites in cost-sensitive consumer electronics |
| Nonvolatile configuration storage | EEPROM retains OFFSET, DAC, PRESCALER, and ADDR settings across power cycles-enables true plug-and-play deployment without host MCU initialization |
| Glitchless output control | OE and PDN inputs use synchronous edge-triggered latching to prevent metastability-induced clock spikes during enable/disable transitions |
| Adjustable dither rate | Three selectable modulation frequencies (fOSC/8192, /4096, /2048) allow optimization of spectral null placement relative to sensitive RF bands or switching regulator harmonics |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator core eliminates crystals, capacitors, or trimmers-reduces BOM count, layout area, and qualification effort |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar spread-spectrum oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output, I²C-programmable clock generator with integrated PLL; no built-in spread spectrum; requires external loop filter and crystal reference | Used where multiple independent frequencies (e.g., 25MHz + 125MHz + 156.25MHz) are needed simultaneously | Select if multi-frequency synthesis is required and system can accommodate external crystal + design complexity |
| ICS843002AGI-01LFT | Fixed 100MHz spread-spectrum oscillator (±0.25% center spread); no programmability; LVDS output; 3.3V only | Deployed in high-speed SerDes lanes where deterministic jitter profile and LVDS drive strength are mandatory | Select only for fixed-frequency, LVDS-driven applications where programmability and CMOS output are not needed |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM and ICS843002AGI-01LFT, DS1086LU-440/V+T uniquely combines single-output programmability, on-chip spread spectrum, EEPROM persistence, and CMOS drive in an 8-pin μSOP-making it optimal for cost-constrained, EMI-critical, single-clock applications requiring field reconfiguration.

FAQ
What is the factory-default output frequency of the DS1086LU-440/V+T?
The DS1086LU-440/V+T ships with a factory-programmed default master oscillator frequency of 48.65MHz, corresponding to the OS (Offset Setting) value stored in the RANGE register. This yields a nominal 48.65MHz output when the prescaler is set to divide-by-1. The actual delivered frequency tolerance is ±0.5% at +25°C and VCC = 3.3V, as specified in the master oscillator characteristics table.
Does the DS1086LU-440/V+T require an external crystal or resonator?
No, the DS1086LU-440/V+T does not require any external timing components. It contains a fully integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and triangle-wave dither generator. All timing generation occurs internally, eliminating the need for crystals, ceramic resonators, or load capacitors-reducing BOM cost and PCB area while improving reliability.
How is spread-spectrum dithering enabled and controlled on the DS1086LU-440/V+T?
Dithering on the DS1086LU-440/V+T is enabled by driving the SPRD pin high. The dither depth (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, or 8%) is selected via JS2–JS0 bits in the PRESCALER register, and the dither rate (fOSC/8192, /4096, or /2048) is set via JS4–JS3 bits. Dither is unidirectional-always lowering the instantaneous frequency below the programmed center value.
Can the DS1086LU-440/V+T be reprogrammed after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, the DS1086LU-440/V+T supports in-circuit reprogramming via its 2-wire (I²C-compatible) interface. Configuration registers-including OFFSET, DAC, PRESCALER, and ADDR-are written over SDA/SCL and stored permanently in on-chip EEPROM. The WC (Write Control) bit in the ADDR register allows optional SRAM-only writes to minimize EEPROM wear during development.
What is the power consumption of the DS1086LU-440/V+T in active and power-down modes?
In active mode with CL = 15pF and default 48.65MHz output, the DS1086LU-440/V+T draws 10mA typical supply current. In power-down mode (PDN = low), supply current drops to 10μA maximum across -40°C to +85°C. These values are measured per Maxim's DS1086L datasheet Rev 2, Section "DC Electrical Characteristics."
