Product details
Overview
DS1089LU-21G+ from Maxim Integrated is a factory-programmed 3.3V spread-spectrum clock generator producing a dithered square-wave output at 14.7456MHz with ±1% frequency deviation and fMOSC/4096 dither rate. It integrates a 33.3–66.6MHz internal master oscillator, I²C-compatible programming interface, nonvolatile EEPROM storage, and hardware control pins (SPRD, OE, PDN) for EMI reduction in embedded timing applications.
For engineers reviewing the DS1089LU-21G+ datasheet, DS1089LU-21G+ pinout, DS1089LU-21G+ application, or DS1089LU-21G+ equivalent, this page delivers verified technical context, exact pin functions, real-world use cases in printers and POS terminals, and validated alternative options for spread-spectrum clocking where EMI compliance and stable low-jitter timing are required.
Technical Context
The DS1089LU-21G+ implements a center-spread dither architecture using a triangle-wave modulator injected into a factory-trimmed 33.3–66.6MHz master oscillator, enabling symmetric ±1%, ±2%, ±4%, or ±8% frequency deviation around the programmed center frequency. Its dither rate is fixed at fMOSC/4096 for this variant, confirmed by J-column data.
It supports both stand-alone operation (nonvolatile settings retained after power cycle) and processor-controlled mode via I²C interface (400kHz fast-mode compatible), with synchronous output enable/disable and glitchless transitions. Power-down mode reduces supply current to 10µA while maintaining EEPROM configuration integrity.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 14.7456MHz - factory-programmed center frequency, stable across -40°C to +85°C with ±0.75% variation. |
| Dither Amplitude | ±1% - bidirectional frequency deviation centered on 14.7456MHz, reducing peak radiated emissions without duty-cycle shift. |
| Dither Rate | fMOSC/4096 - modulation frequency derived from internal master oscillator; for DS1089LU-21G+, fMOSC = 14.7456MHz × 2x, yielding ~3.6kHz dither rate. |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7V to 3.6V - operates within standard 3.3V logic rail with 12mA active current and 10µA standby current. |
| I²C Interface | 400kHz fast-mode - compatible with standard microcontroller I²C peripherals; supports register read/write and EEPROM write control (WC bit). |
| Output Drive | CMOS-compatible - VOH ≥ 2.4V @ -4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 4mA, ensuring reliable interfacing with 3.3V digital systems. |
| Package | 8-pin µSOP (118 mil) - surface-mount package with 0.5mm pitch, optimized for space-constrained PCB layouts. |
Pinout & Package
DS1089LU-21G+ uses an 8-pin µSOP (118 mil) package with exposed pad grounded per Maxim's recommended layout. Pin functions are validated from official datasheet Pin Description table and Block Diagram.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Oscillator Output | CMOS square-wave output; driven high/low or tri-stated depending on OE/PDN states and LO/HIZ bit setting. |
| 2 (SPRD) | Dither Enable Input | Active-high control: high enables ±1% dither; low disables dither, delivering fixed-frequency output. |
| 3 (VCC) | Power Supply | 3.3V nominal supply input (2.7–3.6V range); requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 4 (GND) | Ground Reference | System ground return; substrate tied to GND per chip topology; must be low-impedance connection. |
| 5 (OE) | Output Enable Input | Hardware gate for OUT: high enables output buffer; low disables output while master oscillator remains active. |
| 6 (PDN) | Power-Down Input | Master oscillator shutdown: low disables both oscillator and output, reducing ICCQ to 10µA. |
| 7 (SDA) | I²C Serial Data | Open-drain bidirectional data line; requires external pull-up; supports EEPROM register access and configuration updates. |
| 8 (SCL) | I²C Serial Clock | Input-only clock line; synchronizes I²C transactions; compatible with 400kHz fast-mode timing. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Center-spread dither architecture | ±1% symmetric frequency deviation around 14.7456MHz maintains constant center frequency regardless of dither percentage selected. |
| Nonvolatile EEPROM configuration | All settings (prescaler, dither %, address, OE state) persist across power cycles-no external configuration required for stand-alone use. |
| Glitchless output enable/disable | Synchronous gating ensures no output spikes during OE transitions; enables safe runtime clock switching in live systems. |
| Hardware power-down control | PDN pin asserts full oscillator shutdown with 7µs disable time and 512-cycle stabilization on wake-up, minimizing system-level power leakage. |
| No external timing components | Self-contained oscillator eliminates need for crystals, capacitors, or resistors-reducing BOM count and board area. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar spread-spectrum clock generator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | Programmable 3-output clock generator (I²C), 8kHz–200MHz range; no built-in spread-spectrum; requires external configuration. | Lacks factory-programmed dither; suitable when flexible multi-frequency synthesis is needed over EMI reduction. | Select Si5351A-B-GM only if multiple independent outputs or wider frequency agility are required; not drop-in for DS1089LU-21G+ EMI-critical roles. |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of the DS1089LU-21G+?
The DS1089LU-21G+ is factory-programmed to generate a center frequency of 14.7456MHz. This value is fixed in the internal master oscillator and serves as the undithered reference point; dithering applies symmetrically ±1% around this frequency. The DS1089LU-21G+ does not require external programming to operate at this frequency.
Does the DS1089LU-21G+ require an external crystal or resonator?
No, the DS1089LU-21G+ contains a fully integrated factory-trimmed master oscillator (33.3–66.6MHz range) and requires no external timing components. Its 14.7456MHz output is derived internally via prescaling and dither modulation-eliminating crystals, load capacitors, and associated layout constraints.
How is dither enabled or disabled on the DS1089LU-21G+?
Dither is controlled by the SPRD pin: driving SPRD high enables the ±1% dither function, while pulling SPRD low disables dither and delivers a fixed 14.7456MHz output. This hardware control operates independently of I²C commands and takes effect immediately without register writes.
What is the power-down current consumption of the DS1089LU-21G+?
In power-down mode (PDN = low), the DS1089LU-21G+ draws 10µA typical supply current across -40°C to +85°C. This state disables both the internal master oscillator and output buffer while preserving all EEPROM-stored configuration settings for instant recovery on wake-up.
Can the DS1089LU-21G+ be used without connecting SDA and SCL pins?
Yes-the DS1089LU-21G+ supports true stand-alone operation. If I²C programming is never needed (including during production test), SDA and SCL may be tied high per datasheet guidance. All factory-programmed and EEPROM-stored settings remain active without I²C bus connection.
