Product details
Overview
DS1086LU-C02+ 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 magnitudes (0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, or 8%), adjustable dither rate via prescaler control, and dual power management pins (PDN for master oscillator disable, OE for output buffer enable/disable). It serves as an EMI-reduction timing source in printer mainboards and cable modem PHY layers.
For engineers reviewing the DS1086LU-C02+ datasheet, DS1086LU-C02+ pinout, DS1086LU-C02+ application, or DS1086LU-C02+ equivalent, key selection criteria include spread-spectrum dither depth and rate configurability, 2-wire serial interface address flexibility (A2–A0), industrial temperature operation (–40°C to +85°C), and guaranteed 10,000 EEPROM write cycles for field reprogramming.
Technical Context
The DS1086LU-C02+ integrates a voltage-controlled master oscillator (33.3–66.6MHz) whose frequency is set by a 10-bit DAC (5kHz step size) and a 5-bit OFFSET register selecting one of 13 overlapping 5.12MHz ranges. A triangle-wave generator injects unidirectional frequency deviation controlled by JS2–JS0 bits (0.5%–8%) and modulated at rates determined by JS4–JS3 (fOSC/8192, /4096, or /2048).
Its 2-wire interface supports standard- and fast-mode (100kHz/400kHz), with EEPROM write cycle time of 10ms and automatic SRAM-to-EEPROM commit when WC=0. Power-down mode draws ≤10μA, and glitchless OE control ensures clean output enable/disable transitions synchronized to internal clock edges.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
DS1086LU-C02+ is housed in an 8-pin μSOP package (118 mil width), pin-compatible with industry-standard 8-lead micro-SOP footprints and optimized for high-density PCB layouts with minimal parasitic capacitance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| OUT | Oscillator output | CMOS square-wave output; 45–55% duty cycle over full temp/voltage range; drives 15pF load at up to 66.6MHz |
| SPRD | Dither enable input | Active-high logic control; enables/disables triangle-wave injection into VCO control path without affecting DAC or OFFSET registers |
| VCC | Power supply | 3.3V nominal; requires 0.1μF + 0.01μF decoupling per datasheet layout guidance to suppress switching noise |
| GND | Ground reference | Single ground plane connection point; must be tied directly to system ground with low-inductance path |
| OE | Output enable | Glitchless synchronous gate; places OUT in high-impedance state while master oscillator remains active |
| PDN | Power-down control | Asynchronous master oscillator disable; forces full chip shutdown with ≤10μA quiescent current |
| SDA | 2-wire serial data | Open-drain I/O; requires external pull-up; supports multi-drop bus with up to 8 devices via A2–A0 addressing |
| SCL | 2-wire serial clock | Input-only clock line; defines timing for EEPROM register reads/writes and supports 400kHz fast-mode operation |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Nonvolatile configuration storage | All register settings (DAC, OFFSET, PRESCALER, ADDR) retained in EEPROM; no external configuration required at power-up |
| Selectably dithered output | Dither magnitude and rate independently programmable - enables EMI reduction tuning without hardware change |
| Glitchless output enable | OE control synchronizes to internal clock edge - eliminates runt pulses or metastability during enable/disable transitions |
| Adjustable master oscillator range | OFFSET register selects one of 13 overlapping 5.12MHz bands; DAC fine-tunes within band in 5kHz steps |
| Industrial-grade thermal stability | ±0.75% frequency tolerance over –40°C to +85°C at default 48.65MHz; <±2.5% worst-case across full 33.3–66.6MHz range |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | 3-output, I²C-programmable clock generator; higher phase noise floor; no integrated spread-spectrum dither engine | Requires external dither circuitry or MCU-based modulation for EMI reduction | Choose when multi-output synchronization or sub-100kHz fractional synthesis is required |

FAQ
What is the factory-default output frequency of the DS1086LU-C02+?
The DS1086LU-C02+ ships with a factory-programmed default master oscillator frequency of 48.65MHz. This value is stored in the RANGE register and used as the baseline (OS) for OFFSET register calculations. The actual output frequency depends on the programmed prescaler value - for example, with prescaler = 1, DS1086LU-C02+ delivers 48.65MHz; with prescaler = 4, it delivers 12.1625MHz. All defaults are retained in nonvolatile EEPROM.
Can the DS1086LU-C02+ operate without connecting SDA and SCL pins?
Yes - the DS1086LU-C02+ can operate in stand-alone mode with SDA and SCL tied high (via 4.7kΩ pull-ups), provided all required frequency, dither, and control settings are pre-programmed into EEPROM during manufacturing. In this configuration, the device functions as a fixed-output spread-spectrum oscillator with no runtime reconfiguration capability, reducing BOM count and layout complexity.
How does the dither rate affect EMI reduction performance in the DS1086LU-C02+?
The DS1086LU-C02+ dither rate - set by JS4–JS3 bits to fOSC/8192, /4096 (default), or /2048 - determines the modulation frequency of the spread spectrum. Lower dither rates (e.g., /8192) produce narrower spectral spreading ideal for narrowband interference suppression, while higher rates (e.g., /2048) broaden the spectrum more aggressively, improving broadband EMI margin. Rate selection must balance spectral shape against system sensitivity to low-frequency modulation sidebands.
What is the maximum capacitive load the DS1086LU-C02+ output can drive reliably?
The DS1086LU-C02+ output is characterized for reliable operation with a 15pF load across its full 130kHz–66.6MHz frequency range and –40°C to +85°C temperature range. At 66.6MHz, output voltage swing degrades above 15pF; for loads up to 50pF (per AC specs), operation is guaranteed only below 25MHz. For higher-frequency, higher-capacitance applications, a fanout buffer or series resistor should be added to maintain signal integrity and meet rise/fall time requirements.
Does the DS1086LU-C02+ support I²C fast-mode-plus (1MHz) operation?
No - the DS1086LU-C02+ supports standard-mode (100kHz) and fast-mode (400kHz) I²C communication only, as specified in its AC Electrical Characteristics table. Fast-mode-plus timing parameters (e.g., tF, tR, tSU:DAT) are not characterized or guaranteed. Attempting 1MHz operation may result in unreliable register reads/writes or EEPROM corruption due to insufficient setup/hold margins on SDA/SCL lines.
