Product details
Overview
LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a digitally controlled silicon oscillator with factory-set master frequency of 7.372800 MHz, selectable via DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins across 8 output frequencies from 57.6 kHz to 7.3728 MHz. It delivers ±0.1% frequency accuracy over 0°C to 70°C, 105 µA typical supply current at 32 kHz/3 V, and <110 µs start-up time - ideal for low-power microcontroller clocking in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF pinout, LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF application, or LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 0.09% max initial frequency error at 25°C, DFN-8 (2 mm × 3 mm) package with exposed thermal pad, RMS period jitter <0.15% at 3 V, and operation from 1.7 V to 5.5 V single supply.
Technical Context
The LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF implements a proprietary switched-capacitor feedback loop to stabilize its internal 7.3728 MHz master oscillator against temperature and supply variation. Its three digital control inputs (DIVA/DIVB/DIVC) configure binary dividers (1–128) to generate precise output frequencies without external components.
It features dual V+ pins (Pins 1 & 8) and dual GND pins (Pins 2 & 6) to isolate oscillator core from output driver noise, enabling clean CMOS output with <3 ns rise/fall time and <40 Ω series resistance at 3 V - critical for driving capacitive loads up to 50 pF while minimizing supply-induced jitter.

FAQ
What is the nominal master oscillator frequency of the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF?
The LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF has a factory-programmed master oscillator frequency of exactly 7.372800 MHz. This value is used with internal binary dividers (1–128) selected by DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins to generate all eight output frequencies listed in Table 1 - including 7.3728 MHz (÷1), 3.6864 MHz (÷2), and down to 57.6 kHz (÷128). The "7.37" in the part number directly references this master frequency.
Does the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF is a fully integrated silicon oscillator and requires no external load capacitors or tuning components. Only 0.1 µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each V+ pin and its adjacent GND pin are needed for stable operation. This eliminates the board space, cost, and calibration effort associated with crystal-based timing solutions.
Can the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF operate from a single 1.8 V supply?
Yes, the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF operates across 1.7 V to 5.5 V, so 1.8 V is fully supported. At 1.8 V and 7.3728 MHz, the typical supply current is 226 µA (per DC Electrical Characteristics table), and frequency accuracy remains within ±0.8% over the full temperature range - making it suitable for low-voltage IoT edge nodes.
How is the exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) of the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF connected?
The exposed pad (Pin 9) of the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF must be soldered directly to a PCB copper plane connected to system GND. It is not optional - doing so provides essential thermal dissipation (θJA = 64°C/W) and reduces EMI by lowering ground impedance. The pad must be included in the solder stencil and reflow profile per Linear's recommended layout (Figure 1).
What is the maximum capacitive load the LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF can drive reliably?
The LTC6930CDCB-7.37#TRPBF is characterized to drive up to 50 pF capacitive load or 1 kΩ resistive load. Its output driver has <40 Ω series resistance at 3 V, enabling robust signal integrity even with moderate PCB trace capacitance. Supply current increases linearly with load capacitance (ISUPPLY ≈ CLOAD × VSWING × fOSC), so 50 pF at 7.3728 MHz draws ~2.7 mA additional average current beyond quiescent consumption.
