Product details
Overview
DS1091LUA-027+T from Maxim Integrated is a factory-programmed, center-dithered spread-spectrum oscillator delivering a precise 27.0MHz output with ±0.25% nominal accuracy at +25°C and ±1.75% across -40°C to +125°C. It operates from 3.0V to 3.6V, features pin-selectable dither magnitude (0%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4%) and dither rate, and is housed in an 8-pin µMAX® package. It is designed for EMI reduction in automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1091LUA-027+T datasheet, DS1091LUA-027+T pinout, DS1091LUA-027+T application, or DS1091LUA-027+T equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed automotive-grade temperature performance, and real-world selection guidance for spread-spectrum clocking in noise-sensitive embedded systems.
Technical Context
The DS1091LUA-027+T implements a factory-trimmed master oscillator with integrated triangle-wave generator and dither-rate divider to produce center-spread output. Its dither profile is controlled by SEL0/SEL1 logic states and DR pin configuration, with dither rate calculated as fDITHER = fOUT/n where n depends on output frequency band (e.g., n = 11 for 27.0MHz).
It uses internal prescaling and analog modulation to shift output energy across a defined bandwidth-achieving up to 14dB spectral attenuation at ±4% dither-while maintaining tight frequency stability over supply (±1.2% across 3.0V–3.6V) and temperature (±1.75% over -40°C to +125°C).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 27.0MHz - factory-programmed center frequency, fixed for this variant. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±0.25% at +25°C - ensures stable timing reference for synchronous digital interfaces. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and display module deployment in automotive systems. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with automotive 3.3V rail without level-shifting. |
| Dither Magnitude | Pin-selectable 0%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4% - enables EMI peak suppression tuning without firmware changes. |

| Power-Up Time | 0.1ms - guarantees glitch-free startup before system initialization begins. |
Pinout & Package
DS1091LUA-027+T is packaged in an 8-pin µMAX® (U8+1) surface-mount package with exposed pad grounded internally. Pin 1 is OUT; pins 6 and 7 are no-connect; VCC and GND are duplicated for low-impedance power delivery.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | OUT | CMOS-compatible spread-spectrum clock output; drives 15pF–50pF loads with 50% duty cycle below 33.3MHz. |
| 2, 4 | VCC | Primary and auxiliary 3.0V–3.6V supply inputs; require local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling. |
| 3 | GND | Ground reference for all internal circuitry and output driver; tied to substrate. |
| 5 | SEL0 | LSB of dither magnitude select; sets ±1%/±2%/±4% or 0% when combined with SEL1. |
| 8 | DR | Dither rate control; selects fOUT/11 (DR=1) or fOUT/12 (DR=0) for 27.0MHz output. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar spread-spectrum oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5351A-B-GM | Programmable I²C-based clock generator; supports multiple outputs and fractional synthesis; requires external crystal and configuration firmware. | Used where multi-frequency flexibility or synchronization across domains is needed; not drop-in for fixed 27MHz SS. | Select Si5351A-B-GM only if programmability justifies added software overhead and BOM complexity. |
| ICS8430I-27T | Fixed 27MHz spread-spectrum oscillator with ±0.5% initial accuracy and -40°C to +85°C range; no pin-selectable dither options. | Suitable for commercial-grade displays but lacks automotive temperature margin and dither tuning. | Choose ICS8430I-27T only for non-automotive applications where extended temperature range and dither control are unnecessary. |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM and ICS8430I-27T, DS1091LUA-027+T delivers automotive-qualified temperature performance, pin-configurable dither, and factory-calibrated accuracy without firmware or external components-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, EMI-critical automotive timing where fixed frequency suffices.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of DS1091LUA-027+T?
The DS1091LUA-027+T is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 27.0MHz center-dithered spread-spectrum clock output. This frequency is trimmed during wafer test and is not user-adjustable. The "-027" suffix explicitly denotes the 27.0MHz configuration, and the device does not support reprogramming in-system or via external interface.
Does DS1091LUA-027+T support both center and down dither modes?
No - DS1091LUA-027+T supports center dither only, as indicated by the "UA" suffix (DS1091LUA = center-dither variant). Down-dither functionality is exclusive to DS1091LUB variants (e.g., DS1091LUB-027+T). The DS1091LUA-027+T's SEL0/SEL1 pins configure dither magnitude as ±1%, ±2%, ±4%, or 0%, always centered around 27.0MHz.
What is the maximum load capacitance supported by DS1091LUA-027+T?
The DS1091LUA-027+T is specified for load capacitances from 15pF to 50pF, with AC characteristics (duty cycle, rise/fall time, jitter) guaranteed across that range. Driving loads beyond 50pF may degrade edge rate and increase jitter; for heavier loads, a buffer stage is recommended. The 15pF–50pF range covers standard CMOS inputs and most FPGA/ASIC clock receivers.
How is dither rate selected on DS1091LUA-027+T?
Dither rate on DS1091LUA-027+T is selected using the DR pin: DR = logic high selects fDITHER = fOUT/11 ≈ 2.45MHz, while DR = logic low selects fDITHER = fOUT/12 ≈ 2.25MHz for the 27.0MHz output. This relationship is derived from Table 2 in the datasheet, where n = 11 for fOUT = 27.0MHz in the 16.668–33.333MHz band.
Is DS1091LUA-027+T RoHS-compliant and lead(Pb)-free?
Yes - the "+" suffix in DS1091LUA-027+T indicates a lead(Pb)-free and RoHS-compliant µMAX® package (U8+1). The device meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) requirements and is qualified for reflow soldering at up to +260°C peak temperature, as documented in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
