Product details
Overview
DS1086LU-455+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V spread-spectrum programmable clock oscillator with nonvolatile EEPROM configuration, generating dithered square-wave outputs from 130kHz to 66.6MHz. It features selectable dither depth (0.5%–8%), adjustable dither rate (fOSC/8192 to fOSC/2048), glitchless output-enable control, and power-down mode. It serves as a low-EMI timing source in PC peripherals and cable modems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1086LU-455+ datasheet, DS1086LU-455+ pinout, DS1086LU-455+ application, or DS1086LU-455+ equivalent, key selection criteria include spread-spectrum dither depth and rate configurability, industrial temperature operation (−40°C to +85°C), 2-wire serial programming interface, and μSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained embedded timing designs.
Technical Context
The DS1086LU-455+ integrates a voltage-controlled master oscillator (33.3–66.6MHz), a programmable triangle-wave generator for unidirectional frequency dithering, and a 9-bit DAC with 5kHz step resolution across user-selected OFFSET ranges. Its prescaler supports division by 2x (x = 0–8) before output routing.
Configuration is retained in nonvolatile EEPROM and accessed via a standard 2-wire interface compliant with I²C fast-mode (400kHz) and standard-mode (100kHz). Pin-level controls-SPRD (dither enable), OE (output buffer gate), and PDN (master oscillator disable)-enable real-time hardware modulation without software intervention.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 130kHz to 66.6MHz - covers USB, PCIe reference, and legacy peripheral clocking requirements |
| Dither Depth Options | 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, or 8% - enables EMI reduction tuning per regulatory test limits |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic domains and tolerant of rail variation |
| Operating Temperature | −40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial-grade embedded systems |

Pinout & Package
DS1086LU-455+ is housed in an 8-pin μSOP package (118 mils wide), optimized for high-density PCB layouts and reflow-compatible lead(Pb)-free assembly.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 OUT | Oscillator Output | CMOS square-wave output; frequency determined by OFFSET, DAC, and prescaler registers |
| 2 SPRD | Dither Enable Input | Logic-high enables unidirectional frequency dithering; no software dependency for EMI on/off control |
| 3 VCC | Power Supply | 2.7V–3.6V supply input; requires local 0.1μF + 0.01μF decoupling per datasheet layout guidance |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Analog/digital common return; must be low-impedance connection to minimize jitter coupling |
| 5 OE | Output Enable | High enables output buffer; low places OUT in high-impedance state while master oscillator remains active |

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 fractional PLL; no built-in spread-spectrum dither; requires external configuration | Multi-clock domain systems needing independent outputs; not drop-in for single-output dithered timing | Choose when multiple synchronized clocks are required and EMI reduction is handled externally or via system-level techniques |
| ICS8430-01GI | Fixed-frequency 50MHz spread-spectrum oscillator; 0.5% dither only; no programmability or EEPROM; SOIC-8 package | Cost-sensitive, high-volume applications with static clock requirements and no field reconfiguration need | Choose when design lock-in is complete and dither parameters are fixed; avoids EEPROM wear-out concerns in long-life deployments |

FAQ
What is the factory-default output frequency of the DS1086LU-455+?
The DS1086LU-455+ ships with a factory-programmed default master oscillator frequency of 48.65MHz. This value is stored in the OFFSET and RANGE registers and serves as the baseline for all user-defined frequency calculations. The DS1086LU-455+ retains this setting in nonvolatile EEPROM and uses it at power-up unless reprogrammed via the 2-wire interface.
Does the DS1086LU-455+ require external passive components to operate?
No, the DS1086LU-455+ requires no external timing components such as crystals, capacitors, or resistors to generate its output clock. Only standard power-supply decoupling (0.1μF and 0.01μF ceramic capacitors near VCC/GND) is mandated per the datasheet. All frequency, dither, and control parameters are configured internally via EEPROM and register settings.
How does the dither function behave when the SPRD pin is held low?
When the SPRD pin is held low, the DS1086LU-455+ operates in undithered mode-the output frequency remains fixed at the programmed value with no frequency modulation. Dither is fully disabled at the hardware level, regardless of JS2–JS0 register settings. This allows deterministic timing behavior during debug, compliance testing, or low-jitter subsystem operation.
Can the DS1086LU-455+ be used without connecting the SDA and SCL pins?
Yes-the DS1086LU-455+ supports stand-alone operation. If in-circuit programming is never required (including during production testing), SDA and SCL may be tied directly to VCC. In this configuration, the DS1086LU-455+ runs exclusively with its factory-programmed or previously written EEPROM settings and ignores the 2-wire bus.
What is the maximum allowable load capacitance on the OUT pin of the DS1086LU-455+?
The DS1086LU-455+ specifies a load capacitance range of 15pF to 50pF on the OUT pin. Performance-including output duty cycle (45–55%), rise/fall times, and frequency stability-is guaranteed within this range. Exceeding 50pF may degrade edge rates and increase jitter; loads below 15pF are not characterized and may affect startup reliability or amplitude.
