Product details
Overview
DS1088LU-66+ from Maxim Integrated is a factory-calibrated, fixed-frequency EconOscillator™ generating a 66.6MHz square-wave output with ±1.0% frequency variation over voltage and temperature, 2.7V–3.6V supply, and active-low power-down control-used in cable modems and POS terminals for stable system clocking.
For engineers reviewing the DS1088LU-66+ datasheet, DS1088LU-66+ pinout, DS1088LU-66+ application, or DS1088LU-66+ equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 66.6MHz output tolerance, µSOP-8 package compatibility, power-down timing (≤7µs disable), and decoupling requirements (0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramics).
Technical Context
The DS1088LU-66+ integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator (80–160MHz range) followed by a programmable prescaler (÷1, ÷2, ..., ÷256) to deliver its precise 66.6MHz output. Its EEPROM stores factory-set division ratio and calibration data.
Power-down mode disables both oscillator core and output driver within ≤7µs; recovery requires stabilization over ~512 cycles (~7.6µs at 66.6MHz). Output drive capability supports 15–50pF load capacitance with 40–60% duty cycle across frequency and voltage.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 66.6MHz - exact factory-programmed value, no external components required |
| Frequency Tolerance | ±1.0% over full VCC (2.7V–3.6V) and temperature (-20°C to +85°C) - ensures timing margin in consumer/industrial systems |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic rails and low-power embedded designs |
| Power-Down Current | 10µA max - enables ultra-low standby power in battery-backed or energy-sensitive applications |
| Output Load Range | 15pF to 50pF - supports standard CMOS inputs without external buffering |
| Duty Cycle | 40%–60% - meets setup/hold timing requirements for synchronous logic interfaces |
| Power-Up Stabilization | 100µs max - includes internal delay for oscillator lock; output active after ~512 cycles |
Pinout & Package
DS1088LU-66+ uses an 8-pin µSOP package (package code U8+1, outline 21-0036), with exposed pad grounded per Maxim land pattern 90-0092. Pins 4 and 5 are GND; pins 2 and 3 are VCC; pin 7 and 8 are DNC (internally grounded).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | Square-wave clock output - CMOS-compatible, drives 15–50pF loads directly |
| 2, 3 | VCC | Power supply inputs - dual VCC pins reduce IR drop and improve noise immunity |
| 4, 5 | GND | Ground reference - dual GND pins provide low-inductance return path |
| 6 | PDN | Active-low power-down control - must be held low ≥2 output cycles + 10µs to enter standby |
| 7, 8 | DNC | Do Not Connect - internally tied to GND; floating connection causes no functional impact |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-Calibrated Fixed Frequency | 66.6MHz output trimmed at wafer/test level - eliminates need for external crystal or trimming capacitors |
| Integrated Power-Down Control | Hardware-enabled sleep mode reducing current to 10µA - supports dynamic power gating in peripherals |
| No External Timing Components | Self-contained oscillator core - simplifies BOM, PCB layout, and qualification for cost-sensitive designs |
| Wide Supply Range | 2.7V–3.6V operation - accommodates aging batteries or noisy 3.3V rails without regulation |
| Stable Duty Cycle | 40–60% across voltage/temperature - ensures reliable sampling in synchronous digital interfaces |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-frequency oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si510-66.6MHZ-GR | LVDS output, ±10ppm stability, 2.5V/3.3V supply, 6-pin SOT23 | Requires level-shifting for CMOS logic; higher precision but over-specified for cost-sensitive peripherals | Choose for systems needing sub-0.001% stability or differential signaling |
| ABM3B-66.600MHZ-B2-T | Crystal-based, fundamental-mode quartz resonator, no power-down, 3.2×2.5mm SMD | No integrated oscillator circuit - requires external IC or MCU with XTAL input; no PDN control | Choose when lowest phase noise or long-term aging (<±1ppm/year) is critical |
Compared with Si510-66.6MHZ-GR and ABM3B-66.600MHZ-B2-T, DS1088LU-66+ delivers lowest BOM count and simplest integration for 3.3V CMOS systems where ±1% accuracy suffices, while retaining hardware power management.

FAQ
What is the exact output frequency of DS1088LU-66+?
The DS1088LU-66+ is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 66.6MHz square-wave output. This value is laser-trimmed during test and guaranteed across the full operating range of -20°C to +85°C and 2.7V–3.6V supply. No external components affect this frequency, and it is not user-adjustable.
Does DS1088LU-66+ require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes, DS1088LU-66+ requires two ceramic decoupling capacitors: 0.1µF and 0.01µF, placed as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins. These suppress high-frequency noise and ensure stable oscillation - omission risks jitter increase or startup failure, especially at 66.6MHz.
How does the power-down function work on DS1088LU-66+?
The PDN pin on DS1088LU-66+ is active-low: driving it low disables the oscillator core and output within ≤7µs. To guarantee clean entry, PDN must remain low for at least two output cycles plus 10µs. Upon release, DS1088LU-66+ resumes output after ~100µs (including stabilization delay).
Is DS1088LU-66+ pin-compatible with other DS1088L variants?
Yes, all DS1088L variants-including DS1088LU-66+-share identical 8-pin µSOP (U8+1) packaging and pinout. The only differences are factory-programmed frequency and associated EEPROM calibration; no PCB redesign is needed when swapping between DS1088LU-02+, DS1088LU-16+, or DS1088LU-66+.
What is the maximum capacitive load DS1088LU-66+ can drive?
DS1088LU-66+ is specified to drive loads from 15pF to 50pF. Driving >50pF may degrade rise/fall times and increase jitter; for heavier loads, add a buffer. At 66.6MHz, maintaining ≤50pF ensures <1% duty cycle deviation and meets the 40–60% specification across temperature and voltage.
