Product details
Overview
LTC6905CS5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a precision resistor-programmable silicon oscillator IC designed for high-frequency clock generation in space-constrained systems. It delivers rail-to-rail CMOS square-wave output from 17.225MHz to 170MHz with ±0.5% typical frequency accuracy over 0°C to 70°C, 2.7V–5.5V supply operation, and 7.2ps RMS jitter at 170MHz - ideal for high-speed data bus timing and crystal oscillator replacement.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6905CS5#TRPBF pinout, LTC6905CS5#TRPBF application, or LTC6905CS5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its single-resistor frequency programming (10k–25kΩ), three-state DIV input for ÷1/÷2/÷4 division, 100μs typical start-up time, ±20ppm/°C tempco, and SOT-23-5 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The LTC6905CS5#TRPBF implements a proprietary linearized feedback loop that fixes the relationship between RSET and master oscillator frequency (fMO = 168.5MHz × (10kΩ/RSET) + 1.5MHz), eliminating lookup tables. Its internal three-state DIV input detects V+, floating, or GND states to select ÷1, ÷2, or ÷4 division of fMO, enabling overlapping output ranges (e.g., 34.45–85MHz achievable via ÷2 or ÷4).
It features a PMOS-based SET pin bias that holds VSET ≈ V+ − 1V, ensuring stable current sourcing through RSET. The CMOS output driver provides 0.5ns rise/fall times (CL = 5pF), 6mA typical supply current at 100MHz, and rail-to-rail switching - all within a 1mm-profile ThinSOT™ package optimized for noise-sensitive clocking applications.

FAQ
What is the minimum and maximum frequency supported by the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF?
The LTC6905CS5#TRPBF supports an output frequency range of 17.225MHz to 170MHz. This is achieved by combining a master oscillator (68.9MHz–170MHz) with a programmable ÷1/÷2/÷4 divider. Minimum frequency occurs with RSET = 25kΩ and DIV = GND (÷4); maximum occurs with RSET = 10kΩ and DIV = V+ (÷1). All values are specified over 0°C to 70°C.
How does the DIV pin on the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF determine the output frequency division ratio?
The DIV pin (Pin 4) on the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF uses three-state detection: tying it to V+ selects ÷1, leaving it floating selects ÷2, and connecting it to GND selects ÷4. Internal current sources (15μA pull-up, 11μA pull-down) enable reliable floating-state detection. This allows one RSET value to yield three distinct output frequencies - for example, RSET = 15kΩ gives ~112MHz (÷1), ~56MHz (÷2), or ~28MHz (÷4).
What is the recommended layout practice for the SET pin (Pin 3) of the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF to ensure low jitter?
To minimize jitter on the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF, stray capacitance on the SET pin must be limited to ≤10pF. Place the RSET resistor as close as possible to Pin 3 and V+, share its V+ connection with the 0.1μF supply bypass capacitor, and avoid routing noisy signals nearby. If routing on opposite board layers, position RSET directly under the bypass cap - never use vias in the SET node path.
Can the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF operate from a 2.7V supply while maintaining full frequency range and accuracy?
Yes, the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF is fully specified from 2.7V to 5.5V. At 2.7V, it maintains the full 17.225MHz–170MHz output range and ±0.5% typical frequency accuracy over 0°C to 70°C. However, supply voltage drift contributes up to 0.5%/V to frequency error, so low-noise regulation and bypassing are essential - especially near the lower end of the supply range.
What is the typical supply current of the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF at 100MHz output and 3V supply?
At 100MHz output frequency and 3V supply, the LTC6905CS5#TRPBF draws 6mA typical supply current. This value scales with frequency and supply voltage: it increases to ~14mA at 170MHz/5.5V and drops to ~3mA at 21.44MHz/2.7V (with ÷4 division). Current is measured with RSET = 10kΩ, N = 1, and no load on OUT.
