Product details
Overview
DS1091LUA-172/V+ from Maxim Integrated is an automotive-grade, factory-programmed spread-spectrum clock oscillator delivering a center-dithered 1.7MHz 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 a lead(Pb)-free 8-pin µMAX® package. It is used to reduce EMI in automotive infotainment systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1091LUA-172/V+ datasheet, DS1091LUA-172/V+ pinout, DS1091LUA-172/V+ application, or DS1091LUA-172/V+ equivalent, key selection criteria include its automotive temperature range (-40°C to +125°C), center-spread dither capability, 1.7MHz factory-set frequency, 8-pin µMAX package, and compliance with AEC-Q200 stress test requirements for automotive oscillators.
Technical Context
The DS1091LUA-172/V+ implements a factory-trimmed master oscillator with integrated triangle-wave generator and dither-rate divider to produce center-spread clock outputs. Its dither magnitude is selected via SEL0/SEL1 logic states, and dither rate is controlled by the DR pin per Table 2 - for fOUT = 1.7MHz, n = 6, yielding dither rates of ~1.3kHz (DR = 1) or ~650Hz (DR = 0).
It uses 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 @ -4mA, VOL ≤ 0.4V @ 4mA, with supply current of 16mA typical at 3.6V and 25°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 1.7MHz - factory-programmed center frequency, fixed for this variant. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±0.25% at +25°C - ensures precise timing reference for microcontroller clocks or display interfaces. |
| Temperature Range | -40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood and dashboard-mounted automotive electronics. |
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - compatible with standard automotive 3.3V rail systems with margin. |
| Dither Type | Center-spread only - supports DS1091LUA variant; enables EMI reduction without shifting baseline frequency. |
| Package | 8-pin µMAX® (U8+1) - 3mm × 3mm surface-mount footprint with exposed pad grounded per datasheet. |
| Output Drive | CMOS-compatible - VOH ≥ 2.4V / VOL ≤ 0.4V ensures reliable interfacing with 3.3V logic inputs. |
Pinout & Package
DS1091LUA-172/V+ is packaged in an 8-pin µMAX® (U8+1) with exposed thermal pad connected to GND. Pin 1 is OUT; pins 6 and 7 are no-connect (N.C.); VCC is on pins 2 and 4; GND is on pin 3; SEL0/SEL1 are on pins 5 and 4 respectively; DR is on pin 8.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (OUT) | Spread-spectrum clock output | CMOS-level square wave with programmable dither; drives downstream clock receivers directly. |
| 2, 4 (VCC) | Power supply input | Dual VCC pins improve power integrity; requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Substrate tied to GND; exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| 4 (SEL1), 5 (SEL0) | Dither magnitude select | Binary-coded inputs selecting ±0%, ±1%, ±2%, or ±4% center dither; high-impedance CMOS inputs. |
| 6, 7 (N.C.) | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or grounded - not to be tied to VCC or signal nets. |
| 8 (DR) | Dither rate select | Logic-level input setting dither frequency: DR = 1 gives higher rate (~1.3kHz at 1.7MHz), DR = 0 halves it. |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of DS1091LUA-172/V+?
The DS1091LUA-172/V+ is factory-programmed to deliver a precise 1.7MHz center-spread clock output. This frequency is laser-trimmed during manufacturing and cannot be altered in-circuit. The "172" in the part number explicitly denotes 1.72MHz - rounded to 1.7MHz per datasheet specification and ordering table. DS1091LUA-172/V+ maintains this frequency across its full automotive operating range with ±1.75% variation.
Does DS1091LUA-172/V+ support down-spread dithering?
No, DS1091LUA-172/V+ supports center-spread dither only, as indicated by the "UA" suffix. Down-spread variants use the "UB" suffix (e.g., DS1091LUB-xxx). The DS1091LUA-172/V+ internal architecture configures the triangle-wave modulator to symmetrically vary output frequency around the 1.7MHz center point - ±1%, ±2%, or ±4% - selectable via SEL0/SEL1 pins. Down-spread functionality is physically absent in this variant.
What is the recommended decoupling for DS1091LUA-172/V+?
Per Maxim's datasheet, DS1091LUA-172/V+ requires two ceramic decoupling capacitors: 0.01µF and 0.1µF, placed as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins (pins 2, 3, 4). Both capacitors must be high-quality, surface-mount, X7R or better dielectric types. The exposed thermal pad must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane to ensure stable operation and optimal EMI suppression - failure to do so may degrade dither performance and increase jitter.
Is DS1091LUA-172/V+ AEC-Q200 qualified?
Yes, DS1091LUA-172/V+ is explicitly qualified to AEC-Q200 Rev D for passive components and discrete semiconductors. The "/V" in the part number denotes automotive qualification, and the device undergoes stress testing across -40°C to +125°C, including thermal cycling, humidity bias, and vibration. Its 8-pin µMAX® package, lead(Pb)-free construction ("+"), and guaranteed parametric performance over temperature confirm full AEC-Q200 compliance.
Can DS1091LUA-172/V+ be used with a 5V supply?
No, DS1091LUA-172/V+ is rated for 3.0V to 3.6V only. Absolute maximum VCC is +6.0V, but operation above 3.6V violates recommended conditions and risks parametric shift or accelerated aging. Supply voltage beyond 3.6V causes frequency drift outside ±1.75% tolerance and may exceed internal regulator limits. For 5V systems, a dedicated 3.3V LDO regulator must be used to power DS1091LUA-172/V+ - direct 5V connection is not permitted.
