Product details
Overview
DS1091LUA-040+ from Maxim Integrated is a factory-programmed, center-dithered spread-spectrum oscillator delivering a precise 40.0MHz 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 RoHS-compliant 8-pin µMAX® package. It is designed for EMI reduction in automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1091LUA-040+ datasheet, DS1091LUA-040+ pinout, DS1091LUA-040+ application, or DS1091LUA-040+ equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive-grade temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), center-spread dithering capability, factory-trimmed 40.0MHz frequency, and compatibility with low-jitter, low-power clock distribution in noise-sensitive embedded systems.
Technical Context
The DS1091LUA-040+ integrates a factory-programmed master oscillator, triangle-wave generator, and dither-rate divider to produce a center-dithered square-wave output. Its dither magnitude is selected via SEL0/SEL1 logic states, and dither rate is controlled by the DR pin using a frequency-dependent division factor (n = 11 for fOUT = 40.0MHz).
It employs internal prescaling and analog modulation to achieve spectral spreading without external components. Power-up behavior holds OUT low for ≤0.1ms to prevent glitching, and output drive meets CMOS-compatible levels (VOH ≥ 2.4V at IOH = −4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V at IOL = 4mA) under full automotive supply and temperature conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 40.0MHz - factory-programmed, fixed center frequency for system clock synchronization. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±0.25% at +25°C - ensures stable timing reference for high-speed digital interfaces. |
| Temp/Voltage Drift | ±1.75% over −40°C to +125°C and 3.0V–3.6V - guarantees robust operation in automotive environments. |
| Dither Type | Center-dithered - spreads energy symmetrically around 40.0MHz to reduce peak radiated emissions. |
| Dither Magnitude | Pin-selectable: 0%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4% - enables tuning of EMI suppression vs. timing margin trade-off. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with standard automotive 3.3V rail and tolerant of battery transients. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX® (U8+1) - compact 3mm × 3mm footprint with exposed pad for thermal performance. |
Pinout & Package
DS1091LUA-040+ is packaged in an 8-pin µMAX® (U8+1) surface-mount package with exposed thermal pad. Pin 1 is OUT; pins 6 and 7 are no-connect; VCC and GND are duplicated for improved power integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Spread-spectrum clock output | CMOS-compatible square wave; drives up to 15pF load with <1.2ns rise/fall time. |
| 2 (VCC) | Positive supply input | Primary 3.0V–3.6V power connection; decoupling required per layout guidelines. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | System ground return; must be low-impedance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| 4 (SEL1) | Dither magnitude select bit 1 | Combines with SEL0 to set dither % (e.g., SEL1=0, SEL0=1 → ±1%). |
| 5 (SEL0) | Dither magnitude select bit 0 | LSB of 2-bit dither magnitude control; logic levels define ±1%/±2%/±4% or no dither. |
| 6, 7 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded per PCB design rules. |
| 8 (DR) | Dither rate select | Selects dither frequency: DR=0 → ~3.6kHz, DR=1 → ~7.2kHz at 40.0MHz output. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Automotive temperature range | Rated for continuous operation from −40°C to +125°C - qualified per AEC-Q200 requirements. |

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 clock generator (not factory-trimmed); supports multiple outputs; higher power consumption (25mA typical). | Requires MCU firmware control; suited for multi-frequency systems, not fixed 40.0MHz EMI reduction. | Choose when flexibility across frequencies or multiple clocks is needed; not drop-in for DS1091LUA-040+. |
| ICS843001AGI-04LF | Fixed 40MHz spread-spectrum oscillator with ±0.5% initial accuracy; only ±0.5% dither; no pin-selectable rate/magnitude. | Lower EMI suppression capability; lacks automotive temp rating (−40°C to +85°C only). | Acceptable for commercial-grade applications where ±1.75% drift and full automotive qualification are not required. |
Compared with Si5351A-B-GM and ICS843001AGI-04LF, DS1091LUA-040+ offers superior automotive qualification, tighter initial accuracy, and granular hardware-controlled dither tuning-making it optimal for cost-sensitive, single-frequency, EMI-critical automotive designs.

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of DS1091LUA-040+?
The DS1091LUA-040+ is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 40.0MHz center-dithered spread-spectrum clock output. This frequency is trimmed at wafer level and guaranteed across the full automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and supply voltage (3.0V to 3.6V). No external configuration or programming is required to achieve this output.
Does DS1091LUA-040+ support both center- and down-dithered spread-spectrum modes?
No - DS1091LUA-040+ supports center-dithered mode only, as indicated by the "UA" suffix. The DS1091LUB variant provides down-dithered output. Dither magnitude (0%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4%) and dither rate (via DR pin) are fully configurable on DS1091LUA-040+, but the dither profile remains centered around 40.0MHz.
What is the maximum load capacitance supported by DS1091LUA-040+?
DS1091LUA-040+ is characterized for a load capacitance of 15pF to 50pF. Typical operation uses 15pF, and the device maintains specified rise/fall times (<1.2ns) and duty cycle (40–60% above 33.3MHz) within this range. Exceeding 50pF may degrade edge rates and increase jitter beyond datasheet limits.
Is DS1091LUA-040+ qualified for automotive applications?
Yes - DS1091LUA-040+ is explicitly rated for the automotive temperature range (−40°C to +125°C) and carries the "/V" automotive qualification indicator in its ordering codes (e.g., DS1091LUA-040/V+). It meets AEC-Q200 stress test requirements and is manufactured in an IATF 16949-certified facility.
How is dither rate selected on DS1091LUA-040+?
Dither rate on DS1091LUA-040+ is selected using the DR pin: DR = logic high selects the faster dither rate (~7.2kHz at 40.0MHz), while DR = logic low selects the slower rate (~3.6kHz). The exact dither frequency is calculated as fDITHER = fOUT / (2 × n), where n = 11 for 40.0MHz output per Table 2 in the datasheet.
