Product details
Overview
LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a digitally controlled, precision silicon oscillator with factory-set 7.3728MHz master frequency, selectable via DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins across eight output frequencies (57.6kHz–7.3728MHz), ±0.1% max frequency accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, 105µA typical supply current at 32kHz/3V, and <110µs start-up time. It serves as a low-power clock source in portable microprocessor systems requiring stable timing without external crystals.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF datasheet, LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF pinout, LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF application, or LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its MS8 package compatibility, 1.7V–5.5V single-supply operation, RMS period jitter <0.15% at 3V, no external components required, and guaranteed performance across industrial temperature range.
Technical Context
The LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF implements a proprietary switched-capacitor feedback loop to stabilize its internal 7.3728MHz master oscillator against temperature and supply variation. Its three digital DIV inputs control an on-chip binary divider (1–128), enabling precise frequency selection without trimming or external components.
It features dual V+ pins (1 and 8) and dual GND pins (2 and 6) to isolate power delivery from the CMOS output driver, minimizing deterministic jitter under capacitive loads up to 50pF. The output stage delivers <3ns rise/fall time with 40Ω series resistance at 3V, optimized for clean signal integrity in noise-sensitive embedded applications.

FAQ
What is the nominal master oscillator frequency of the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF?
The LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF has a factory-programmed master oscillator frequency of exactly 7.372800MHz. This value is fixed and non-adjustable; all eight output frequencies (57.6kHz to 7.3728MHz) are generated by integer division (1–128) of this master frequency using the DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins. The part number suffix "-7.37" explicitly denotes this base frequency.
Does the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF is a fully integrated silicon oscillator and requires no external load capacitors or tuning components. Only standard 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each V+ pin (1 and 8) and its adjacent GND pin (2 and 6) are needed. This eliminates crystal matching tolerances, PCB layout sensitivity, and ESD vulnerability associated with external resonators.
What is the guaranteed operating temperature range for the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF?
The LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF is an I-grade device with a guaranteed operating temperature range of –40°C to +85°C. This range is fully tested and specified per the datasheet - unlike C-grade variants which are only guaranteed from 0°C to 70°C. Performance parameters including frequency accuracy (±0.1% max), supply current, and start-up time are validated across this full industrial range.
Can the DIV pins of the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF be changed dynamically during operation?
Yes, the DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins of the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF can be reconfigured dynamically during operation. The device responds to new DIV settings within one output clock cycle, with no glitches, runt pulses, or frequency transients. This enables real-time clock rate adaptation in power-managed systems - for example, switching from 7.3728MHz for active processing to 57.6kHz for sleep mode without interrupting system timing integrity.
What is the maximum capacitive load the OUT pin of the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF can drive reliably?
The OUT pin of the LTC6930CMS8-7.37#PBF is characterized to drive up to 50pF capacitive load or 1kΩ resistive load. The datasheet specifies supply current vs. load capacitance up to 50pF, and the output driver's 40Ω series resistance at 3V ensures stable waveform integrity. Driving >50pF may increase supply current nonlinearly and degrade rise/fall times; for heavier loads, a buffer amplifier is recommended.
