Product details
Overview
DS1091LUA-172/V+T 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, ±1.75% across -40°C to +125°C, and 3.0V–3.6V supply operation in an 8-pin µMAX package. It reduces EMI in infotainment systems and industrial control units via pin-selectable dither magnitude (0%, ±1%, ±2%, ±4%) and rate.
For engineers reviewing the DS1091LUA-172/V+T datasheet, DS1091LUA-172/V+T pinout, DS1091LUA-172/V+T application, or DS1091LUA-172/V+T equivalent, key selection criteria include automotive temperature compliance (-40°C to +125°C), center-spread dither capability, 1.7MHz factory-set frequency, µMAX package footprint, and RoHS-compliant lead-free construction.
Technical Context
The DS1091LUA-172/V+T 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 DR pin state per Table 2 - for fOUT = 1.7MHz, n = 6 yields dither rates of ~1.4kHz (DR = 1) or ~700Hz (DR = 0).
It operates exclusively in center-dither mode (DS1091LUA variant), not down-dither. Power-up behavior holds OUT low for ≤0.1ms before stable oscillation, preventing false triggering in automotive power-rail sequencing. All timing parameters are guaranteed over full automotive voltage (3.0V–3.6V) and temperature (-40°C to +125°C) ranges.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 8-pin µMAX (U8+1), RoHS-compliant, lead(Pb)-free, 3mm × 3mm body, 0.65mm pitch, exposed pad grounded.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - OUT | Spread-spectrum clock output | CMOS-compatible square wave; drives downstream logic or PLL reference inputs directly. |
| 2 - VCC | Power supply input | Accepts 3.0V–3.6V; requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet recommendation. |
| 3 - GND | Ground reference | Substrate-connected to ground; must be low-impedance return path for noise-sensitive clock output. |
| 4 - SEL1 | Dither magnitude select (MSB) | Logic input; sets ±1%/±2%/±4% or 0% dither with SEL0 per Table 1 (DS1091LUA only). |
| 5 - SEL0 | Dither magnitude select (LSB) | Logic input; used with SEL1 to configure dither percentage; high-impedance CMOS input. |
| 6, 7 - N.C. | No connection | Internally unconnected; must remain floating or tied to GND/VCC per layout best practice (not driven). |
| 8 - DR | Dither rate select | Logic input; selects fast/slow dither modulation rate based on output frequency (n = 6 for 1.7MHz). |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar spread-spectrum oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed output frequency of DS1091LUA-172/V+T?
The DS1091LUA-172/V+T 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 1.7MHz (172 → 1.72MHz rounded to 1.7MHz per datasheet ordering table). DS1091LUA-172/V+T does not support frequency reprogramming or external tuning.
Does DS1091LUA-172/V+T support down-spread dithering?
No, DS1091LUA-172/V+T supports center-spread dither only, as indicated by the "UA" suffix (DS1091LUA = center-dither variant). Down-spread dither is exclusive to DS1091LUB variants. Attempting to configure down-dither behavior on DS1091LUA-172/V+T will result in no dither or undefined output - the device ignores invalid SEL0/SEL1 combinations for down-dither modes.
What is the maximum dither rate achievable for DS1091LUA-172/V+T at 1.7MHz?
For DS1091LUA-172/V+T operating at 1.7MHz, Table 2 specifies n = 6. With DR = 1, the dither rate is fOUT / 2n = 1.7MHz / 12 ≈ 141.7kHz; with DR = 0, it is half that (~70.8kHz). These rates are fixed by internal divider architecture and cannot be adjusted beyond the two DR-selectable options. DS1091LUA-172/V+T does not support continuous dither-rate tuning.
Is DS1091LUA-172/V+T pin-compatible with other DS1091L variants in the µMAX package?
Yes, all DS1091L variants - including DS1091LUA-172/V+T, DS1091LUA-033/V+T, and DS1091LUB-027/V+T - share identical 8-pin µMAX (U8+1) pinout and footprint. Pin functions (OUT, VCC, GND, SEL0, SEL1, DR, N.C.) are consistent across the family, enabling direct PCB reuse when migrating between frequencies or dither types, provided system-level dither configuration logic is updated accordingly.
What decoupling capacitance is recommended for DS1091LUA-172/V+T?
Per Maxim's datasheet, DS1091LUA-172/V+T requires two parallel ceramic decoupling capacitors: 0.01µF and 0.1µF, placed as close as possible to pins 2 (VCC) and 3 (GND). These values minimize high-frequency supply noise and prevent output jitter degradation. X7R or C0G dielectrics are preferred; placement within 2mm of the µMAX pads is critical to maintain sub-nanosecond edge integrity and meet automotive EMI targets.
