Product details
Overview
LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a digitally controlled precision silicon oscillator with factory-set 5.000000MHz master frequency, selectable via DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins across eight output frequencies from 39.0625kHz to 5.000MHz. It delivers ±0.1% frequency accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, <110µs start-up time, and 105µA typical supply current at 32kHz/3V - ideal for low-power microcontroller clocking in portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF datasheet, LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF pinout, LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF application, or LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified package mapping (MS8), confirmed DIV-controlled frequency division architecture, RMS period jitter <0.8ns at 5MHz, and validated alternatives for battery-powered timing-critical designs.
Technical Context
The LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF implements a proprietary switched-capacitor feedback loop to stabilize its internal 5.000000MHz master oscillator against temperature and supply variation. Its three digital DIV inputs (DIVA/DIVB/DIVC) configure binary dividers (1–128) to generate eight precise output frequencies without external components.
It features dual V+ pins (1, 8) and dual GND pins (2, 6) to isolate the oscillator core from output driver noise, enabling <0.15% typical RMS period jitter at 3V. The CMOS output driver has 40Ω typical series resistance and 3ns rise/fall time, supporting up to 50pF capacitive load while maintaining glitch-free transitions during DIV pin changes.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 39.0625kHz to 5.000MHz - eight discrete frequencies set by DIVA/DIVB/DIVC logic states per Table 1 |
| Initial Frequency Accuracy | ±0.09% max at 25°C - ensures immediate timing compliance without calibration in production |
| Frequency Drift vs Temp | ±0.1% over –40°C to 85°C - meets industrial-grade stability requirements without oven control |
| Supply Current | 124µA typical at 5MHz/3V - enables >10-year battery life in 32kHz sleep-mode wake-up applications |
| Start-Up Time | <110µs - supports rapid power cycling in energy-harvesting sensor nodes |
| RMS Period Jitter | 0.8ns peak-to-peak at 5.000MHz - sufficient for USB 2.0 PHY clocking and ADC sampling clocks |
| Operating Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - compatible with single Li-ion, two AA, or 3.3V/5V system rails without LDO |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.00mm × 4.90mm, body height 1.10mm max. Exposed pad not present (unlike DFN variant).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (Pins 1, 8) | Positive Supply Input | Dual supply pins reduce PSRR coupling; each requires local 0.1µF ceramic bypass to adjacent GND |
| GND (Pins 2, 6) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins provide low-inductance return path for oscillator core and output driver separately |
| DIVA (Pin 3) | Frequency Divider Control | CMOS input (VIH = 1.4V min); sets LSB of 3-bit divider code (000 = ÷1, 111 = ÷128) |
| DIVB (Pin 4) | Frequency Divider Control | CMOS input; middle bit of 3-bit divider code; state change causes output update within one cycle, no runt pulses |
| DIVC (Pin 5) | Frequency Divider Control | CMOS input; MSB of 3-bit divider code; all three pins determine final output frequency per Table 1 |
| OUT (Pin 7) | CMOS Clock Output | 40Ω series resistance, 3ns rise/fall time; drives 5pF (2×HC loads) or up to 50pF with increased supply current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external timing components | Eliminates crystal, load caps, and matching network - reduces BOM count and PCB area by ≥4 parts |
| Ultralow power operation | 105µA at 32kHz/3V enables multi-year operation on coin-cell batteries in IoT endpoints |
| Digital frequency selection | Hardware-selectable frequencies avoid firmware overhead or I²C/SPI interface complexity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| Si501-A-5.00 | 5.00MHz fixed-output XO; no DIV pin control; ±20ppm initial accuracy (±0.002%) | Requires separate oscillator per frequency; lacks in-system reconfigurability | Select when absolute frequency stability >0.002% is required and frequency agility is unnecessary |
| MAX7375EUT+T | 32.768kHz only; I²C-programmable; 1.8V–5.5V; ±5ppm accuracy; 1.2µA standby | Single-frequency RTC replacement; no MHz-range outputs; software-configurable but slower interface | Select for ultra-low-power real-time clocking where 32.768kHz suffices and I²C access is available |
Compared with Si501-A-5.00 and MAX7375EUT+T, the LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF uniquely combines hardware-selectable frequency agility, sub-0.1% accuracy across industrial temperature, and micropower consumption - making it optimal for embedded systems needing multiple clock domains without firmware intervention or external crystals.

FAQ
What is the maximum output frequency achievable with LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF?
The LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF has a factory-set 5.000000MHz master oscillator. When DIVA=DIVB=DIVC=0 (÷1 setting), the output frequency is exactly 5.000MHz. This is the highest frequency available for this variant, as confirmed in Table 1 of the datasheet. Higher frequencies are not supported - the LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF cannot exceed its nominal master frequency.
Does LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF is a fully integrated silicon oscillator and requires no external load capacitors. Only 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each V+ pin and its adjacent GND pin are mandatory for stable operation. Unlike quartz-based oscillators, it contains all timing circuitry internally - eliminating matching networks, trim caps, or crystal drive adjustments.
Can LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF operates across 1.7V to 5.5V. At 1.8V, it delivers 5.000MHz output with ±0.8% frequency accuracy over temperature (per AC Electrical Characteristics table), and supply current drops to ~95µA at 5MHz. The device maintains full functionality including DIV pin control and glitch-free switching at this voltage.
What is the meaning of "LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF" in the part number?
In LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF: "LTC6930" is the base series; "C" denotes commercial temperature grade (0°C to 70°C); "MS8" specifies the 8-lead MSOP package; "5.00" indicates the factory-programmed 5.000000MHz master frequency; "#PBF" signifies lead-free (Pb-free) finish. This exact marking matches the order information table for the MS8 package variant.
How does LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF handle switching between frequencies during operation?
The LTC6930CMS8-5.00#PBF updates its output frequency within one complete clock cycle after DIVA/DIVB/DIVC state changes - with zero glitches, runt pulses, or intermediate frequencies. The output remains valid and monotonic throughout the transition, as verified in the "Typical Output Waveform at DIV Pin Change" plot (Figure 6930 G18). This behavior is intrinsic to its digital divider architecture and requires no software synchronization.
