Product details
Overview
LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a precision dual-output quadrature oscillator IC for timing-critical power management systems. It delivers 0°/90° phase-shifted rail-to-rail square waves, programmable from 50kHz to 10MHz via a single external resistor (RSET), with ±10% spread spectrum modulation (SSFM) enabled by the MOD pin for EMC optimization in switching regulator clocking.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF pinout, LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF application, or LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF equivalent, this device serves as a high-temperature automotive-grade clock source requiring precise frequency accuracy (≤±3.5% over –40°C to 125°C), low jitter (<0.9% p-p at 5MHz), and deterministic SSFM rate selection (fOUT/16, /32, or /64).
Technical Context
The LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF implements a master oscillator core whose frequency is set by ISET = (V+ − VSET)/RSET, where VSET is regulated to ~1.13V below V+, yielding fMASTER = 20MHz × 10k/RSET and final fOUT = fMASTER/2 = 10MHz × 10k/RSET. Its internal pseudorandom noise (PRN) generator modulates IMASTER between 0.9×ISET and 1.1×ISET to achieve ±10% frequency spreading.
SSFM rate is selected by MOD pin state: grounded → fOUT/16, floating → fOUT/32, tied to V+ → fOUT/64; connecting an output to MOD disables modulation. Outputs are muted for 260µs (typ.) at startup and feature 50% duty cycle, 6ns (5V) rise/fall times, and rail-to-rail CMOS drive capability into 5kΩ/5pF loads.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Frequency Range | 50kHz to 10MHz - set by RSET = 10kΩ to 2MΩ; full range supported at V+ ≥ 4V. |
| Frequency Accuracy | ≤ ±3.5% max over –40°C to 125°C - guaranteed across full automotive temperature range. |
| SSFM Spreading | Fixed ±10% of center frequency - reduces peak EMI without altering average clock timing. |
| Supply Current | 400µA typical at 50kHz/5V - enables low-power portable and battery-operated designs. |
| Temp Stability | ±40ppm/°C - ensures stable switching frequency under thermal stress in engine bay or industrial enclosures. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6), 1mm profile, exposed pad soldered to GND for thermal and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ | Positive supply input | Accepts 2.7V–5.5V; requires local 0.1µF bypass to GND for low-noise operation. |
| GND | Ground reference | Return path for all currents; must connect to solid ground plane and exposed pad. |
| SET | Frequency-setting node | Connects to V+ via RSET; voltage held at ~1.13V below V+ to define ISET current. |
| OUT1 | Primary oscillator output | CMOS square wave, 0° phase; drives SYNC/PLLIN pins of regulators like LTC3418. |
| OUT2 | Secondary oscillator output | CMOS square wave, 90° phase relative to OUT1; enables 4-phase interleaved converter control. |
| MOD | SSFM mode control | Three-state input: GND = fOUT/16, float = fOUT/32, V+ = fOUT/64, OUTx = disable modulation. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Quadrature outputs (0°/90°) | Enables precise four-phase interleaving in high-current DC/DC converters without external delay networks. |
| Automotive AEC-Q100 qualified | Rated for –40°C to +125°C operation with full parametric guarantee - suitable for under-hood and ADAS power modules. |
| Spread spectrum modulation | Reduces peak radiated emissions by >10dB in 150kHz–30MHz band - simplifies EMC pre-compliance testing. |
| Single-resistor frequency programming | Eliminates crystal, capacitors, or trim pots; supports rapid BOM optimization and design reuse across voltage/frequency variants. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si5360A-A01879-GM | Programmable I2C clock generator; 100MHz max output; requires external configuration EEPROM. | Supports multi-frequency profiles and jitter cleaning; not pin-compatible or resistor-programmable. | Select when system needs dynamic frequency reconfiguration or ultra-low jitter (<0.3ps RMS); avoid if simplicity and cost sensitivity dominate. |
| MAX2620EUA+ | Self-contained VCO with integrated resonator; 10MHz–105MHz range; no SSFM; higher supply current (3.5mA). | Used in RF local oscillators; lacks quadrature outputs and automotive temp grade. | Select only for RF signal generation; unsuitable for power regulator clocking due to missing SSFM and phase outputs. |
Compared with Si5360A-A01879-GM and MAX2620EUA+, the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF offers unique resistor-programmable simplicity, guaranteed quadrature outputs, integrated SSFM, and AEC-Q100 qualification - making it optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding power timing applications where flexibility is secondary to robustness and ease of use.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF?
The LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF is rated for continuous operation from –40°C to +125°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. This high-temperature rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and applies across all electrical specifications - unlike commercial-grade variants (e.g., LTC6908CS6-2), which are limited to 85°C.
How do I configure the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF for 90° quadrature output with SSFM enabled at fOUT/32?
To configure the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF for quadrature output with SSFM at fOUT/32, leave the MOD pin unconnected (floating) and ensure it is bypassed with a 1nF capacitor to GND. The device automatically detects the floating state and selects the fOUT/32 modulation rate. No additional components are needed beyond the RSET resistor between SET and V+.
Can the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF drive a 10kΩ load while maintaining 50% duty cycle?
Yes, the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF guarantees 45%–55% duty cycle over temperature and supply voltage when driving up to 5kΩ resistive loads with ≤5pF capacitance. Driving a 10kΩ load is within specification and will maintain duty cycle integrity; however, output rise/fall times may increase slightly due to reduced drive strength, remaining well within 11ns (3V) or 6ns (5V) limits.
What is the frequency accuracy tolerance of the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF at 125°C?
At the full –40°C to +125°C operating range, the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF guarantees frequency accuracy of ≤±3.5% maximum, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Frequency Accuracy" with the "l" symbol denoting full-temperature-range applicability. This includes contributions from RSET tolerance, temperature drift (±40ppm/°C), and supply variation.
Is the exposed pad on the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF package electrically connected?
Yes, the exposed pad on the LTC6908HS6-2#WTRPBF's TSOT-23 (S6) package is internally connected to GND and must be soldered to a PCB ground plane. This connection is mandatory for thermal dissipation, EMI suppression, and proper device functionality - failure to solder the pad may result in overheating, increased jitter, or erratic SSFM behavior.
