Product details
Overview
DS1088LU-737+T from Maxim Integrated is a factory-calibrated, fixed-frequency EconOscillator™ generating a square-wave clock output from 312kHz to 133MHz without external timing components. It operates from 2.7V to 3.6V, features active-low power-down control (PDN), delivers ±1.0% frequency stability over voltage and temperature, and is housed in an 8-pin µSOP package. It serves as a low-cost, single-output timing source in cost-sensitive embedded peripherals.
For engineers reviewing the DS1088LU-737+T datasheet, DS1088LU-737+T pinout, DS1088LU-737+T application, or DS1088LU-737+T equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed frequency tolerance (±1.0%), power-down current (10µA), supply voltage range (2.7–3.6V), operating temperature (–20°C to +85°C), and µSOP-8 package compatibility with space-constrained PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The DS1088LU-737+T integrates a voltage-controlled oscillator (80–160MHz) followed by a programmable prescaler (÷1, ÷2, ..., ÷256) to generate its factory-set output frequency. Its EEPROM stores calibration data for frequency accuracy across voltage and temperature.
Power management is implemented via the PDN pin: asserting low disables the VCO and output within ≤7µs, reducing supply current to 10µA; recovery requires ≥100µs power-up time plus stabilization (~512 cycles). Output duty cycle remains 40–60% (f<80MHz) or 50% (f≥80MHz), with load capacitance rated up to 50pF.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 73.7 MHz - factory-programmed, no external crystal or capacitor required |
| Frequency Tolerance | ±1.0% over full voltage (2.7–3.6V) and temperature (–20°C to +85°C) - ensures timing margin in industrial environments |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic systems and battery-backed operation |
| Power-Down Current | 10 µA - enables ultra-low standby power in portable or energy-conscious designs |
| Operating Temperature | –20°C to +85°C - supports commercial and extended-industrial ambient conditions |
| Output Drive | VOH ≥ VCC – 0.4V @ –4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 4mA - sufficient for direct CMOS/TTL interface without buffering |
| Load Capacitance | 15 pF to 50 pF - accommodates typical PCB trace and gate input loading without external tuning |
Pinout & Package
DS1088LU-737+T is packaged in an 8-pin µSOP (U8+1, outline 21-0036), with exposed pad grounded per Maxim's land pattern 90-0092. Pin 1 is OUT; pins 2 and 3 are VCC; pins 4 and 5 are GND; pin 6 is PDN (active-low); pins 7 and 8 are DNC (internally grounded, must not be connected).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Oscillator output | CMOS-compatible square wave; drives 15–50pF loads directly |
| 2, 3 (VCC) | Power supply | Dual VCC pins reduce supply impedance; require local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling |
| 4, 5 (GND) | Ground reference | Dual GND pins minimize ground bounce; connect to solid ground plane |
| 6 (PDN) | Active-low power-down control | Pull high to enable; pull low ≥2 cycles + 10µs to enter 10µA standby mode |
| 7, 8 (DNC) | Do Not Connect | Internally tied to GND; floating or soldered connections risk noise coupling or latch-up |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Factory-programmed frequency | 73.7 MHz output calibrated at wafer level - eliminates BOM cost and layout area for crystals or trim caps |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator core - removes design risk from crystal aging, ESR variation, or PCB parasitic sensitivity |
| 1% total frequency variation | Guaranteed ±1.0% over full VCC and temperature - simplifies timing budgeting in synchronous digital interfaces |
| Low-power shutdown | 10 µA standby current with fast wake-up (<100 µs) - ideal for intermittent-operation peripherals like POS terminals |
| µSOP-8 footprint | Small 3mm × 3mm body with 0.5mm pitch - fits dense layouts while supporting standard reflow assembly |

FAQ
What is the exact factory-programmed output frequency of DS1088LU-737+T?
The DS1088LU-737+T is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 73.7 MHz square-wave output. This value is stored in on-chip EEPROM and calibrated across voltage (2.7–3.6V) and temperature (–20°C to +85°C), ensuring ±1.0% total frequency variation without any external components or user programming. The "737" in the part number directly encodes this frequency.
Does DS1088LU-737+T require external capacitors or resistors to operate?
No, DS1088LU-737+T requires no external timing components - it is a self-contained oscillator. Only two ceramic decoupling capacitors (0.01µF and 0.1µF) placed near VCC and GND pins are mandatory for stable operation. No load capacitors, pull-ups, or series resistors are needed on OUT or PDN, as all biasing and drive circuitry is integrated.
How does the power-down function work on DS1088LU-737+T?
The PDN pin on DS1088LU-737+T is active-low: driving it low disables the internal VCO and forces OUT to high-impedance within ≤7µs, reducing supply current to 10µA. To ensure reliable entry, PDN must remain low for at least two output cycles plus 10µs. Upon release, DS1088LU-737+T requires ~100µs plus 512 oscillator cycles to stabilize before delivering valid output.
Is DS1088LU-737+T pin-compatible with other DS1088L variants?
Yes, all DS1088L variants including DS1088LU-737+T share identical 8-pin µSOP (U8+1) packaging and pinout: OUT (1), VCC (2,3), GND (4,5), PDN (6), DNC (7,8). Frequency, tolerance, and electrical specs vary by part number, but PCB layout and footprint are fully interchangeable across the family - enabling drop-in frequency upgrades without board revision.
What is the maximum capacitive load DS1088LU-737+T can drive reliably?
DS1088LU-737+T is characterized to drive capacitive loads from 15pF to 50pF, as specified in the AC Electrical Characteristics table. At 73.7 MHz, maintaining load ≤50pF ensures duty cycle remains within 40–60% and output rise/fall times meet timing margins. Exceeding 50pF may degrade edge sharpness or cause frequency pulling; for heavier loads, a buffer stage is recommended.
