Product details
Overview
The DS1086Z-450+ from Maxim Integrated is a spread-spectrum programmable clock generator producing dithered square-wave outputs from 260kHz to 133MHz, featuring 2% or 4% selectable frequency dithering, nonvolatile EEPROM configuration storage, and 5V operation - used in PC peripherals and cable modems for EMI reduction.
For engineers reviewing the DS1086Z-450+ datasheet, DS1086Z-450+ pinout, DS1086Z-450+ application, or DS1086Z-450+ equivalent, key selection criteria include dither-enabled EMI suppression, 10kHz DAC step resolution, glitchless output-enable control, and stand-alone operation without external timing components.
Technical Context
The DS1086Z-450+ integrates a voltage-controlled master oscillator (66–133MHz), a 10-bit DAC with 10kHz step size, an OFFSET register selecting 13.23MHz frequency subranges, and a prescaler dividing by 2x (x = 0–8). Dither is generated via a triangle-wave modulator injected into the VCO control path.
Control is implemented through an I²C-compatible 2-wire interface (100kHz/400kHz), with dedicated SPRD (dither enable), OE (output buffer gate), and PDN (master oscillator shutdown) pins. All register settings - including PRESCALER (02h), DAC HIGH/LOW (08h/09h), and OFFSET (0Eh) - persist in on-chip NV EEPROM.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 260kHz to 133MHz - covers USB, PCI, Ethernet, and video clocking requirements without external crystals. |
| Dither Options | 2% or 4% peak deviation - reduces radiated EMI peaks by spreading energy across spectrum, validated per FCC/CE standards. |
| Frequency Resolution | 10kHz DAC step size - enables precise tuning within selected OFFSET range (e.g., OS−2: 81.92–92.15MHz). |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75V to 5.25V - compatible with standard 5V logic rails and industrial power supplies. |
| Power-Down Current | 35µA - enables ultra-low-power suspend states in battery-backed or portable systems. |
| Output Enable Latency | 500µs after OE assertion - ensures deterministic clock startup timing for synchronous system initialization. |
| I²C Interface Speed | Up to 400kHz - supports fast in-system reconfiguration during production test or field firmware updates. |
Pinout & Package
DS1086Z-450+ uses an 8-pin SO (Small Outline) package with 1.27mm pitch, RoHS-compliant lead-free finish (+ suffix), and standard JEDEC MS-012AC footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Oscillator Output | CMOS-compatible square-wave output; drives 15pF load with 40–60% duty cycle and <1µs edge times. |
| 2 (SPRD) | Dither Enable Input | Active-high control: high = 2% or 4% dither enabled (per J0 bit); low = undithered output. |
| 3 (VCC) | Power Supply | 5V supply input; requires 0.1µF + 0.01µF decoupling capacitors placed near pin for stable oscillation. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | Analog/digital common return; must be connected to low-impedance PCB ground plane. |
| 5 (OE) | Output Enable | Active-high: high = OUT buffer enabled; low = high-Z output while master oscillator remains active. |
| 6 (PDN) | Power-Down Control | Active-low: low = master oscillator disabled, reducing ICCQ to 35µA; high = full operation. |
| 7 (SDA) | I²C Data Line | Open-drain bidirectional serial data; requires external pull-up to VCC; supports multi-slave bus sharing. |
| 8 (SCL) | I²C Clock Line | Input-only clock signal; synchronizes register reads/writes; tolerates 100kHz or 400kHz rates. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread-spectrum EMI reduction | Validated 10–15dB spectral peak attenuation (vs. fixed-frequency crystal) at 9kHz RBW, per Figure 1. |
| Nonvolatile configuration storage | All registers (PRESCALER, DAC, OFFSET) retained in EEPROM; no external programming hardware needed after initial setup. |
| Glitchless output enable | Synchronous OE gating eliminates clock glitches or runt pulses during enable/disable transitions. |
| Stand-alone operation | No external crystal, capacitor, or resistor required - self-contained timing solution for space-constrained designs. |
| Master oscillator stability | ±0.75% frequency tolerance at 25°C (default 97.1MHz); ±1.0% over 0°C to +70°C at extremes of 66/133MHz range. |

FAQ
What is the default output frequency of the DS1086Z-450+?
The DS1086Z-450+ ships with factory-default register settings yielding a 97.1MHz master oscillator output. This corresponds to the RANGE register's OS value (e.g., 12h), OFFSET = OS, DAC = 0111110100000000b (07D0h), and PRESCALER = 00h - resulting in a 97.1MHz undithered output before prescaling. The actual delivered frequency is trimmed to ±0.75% at +25°C.
Does the DS1086Z-450+ require an external crystal or resonator?
No, the DS1086Z-450+ does not require any external timing components. It contains an integrated voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) and all necessary bias circuitry. Only standard 0.1µF and 0.01µF VCC decoupling capacitors are required per the typical operating circuit - making DS1086Z-450+ a true single-chip clock generator.
How is dither amount selected on the DS1086Z-450+?
Dither amount (2% or 4%) is selected by the J0 bit in the PRESCALER register (address 02h), not by the SPRD pin alone. SPRD enables/disables dither globally; J0 determines depth: J0 = 1 → 2% peak deviation, J0 = 0 → 4% peak deviation. Both settings are confirmed in the MASTER OSCILLATOR CHARACTERISTICS table under "Dither Frequency Range".
Can the DS1086Z-450+ be programmed after soldering to the PCB?
Yes, the DS1086Z-450+ supports in-circuit programming via its 2-wire (I²C-compatible) interface using SDA and SCL pins. Programming is possible during production test or field update - provided SDA/SCL are accessible and pulled up. If programming is never needed, SDA and SCL may be tied directly to VCC per datasheet Note *.
What is the power-up behavior of the DS1086Z-450+ output?
On power-up, the DS1086Z-450+ holds OUT in high-impedance state until VCC stabilizes and the internal oscillator completes ~512 cycles (tpor + tstab ≈ 0.1–0.5ms). Only then does the output become active - ensuring no spurious clock edges reach downstream logic. This behavior is guaranteed across 0°C to +70°C and 4.75–5.25V VCC.
