Product details
Overview
LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a digitally controlled silicon oscillator with factory-set 7.3728MHz master frequency, selectable via DIV pins across 8 output frequencies (57.6kHz–7.3728MHz), ±0.1% frequency accuracy over –40°C to 85°C, 105µA typical supply current at 32kHz/3V, and <110µs start-up time. It serves as a precision timing source in battery-powered microcontroller clocking and portable instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF datasheet, LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF pinout, LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF application, or LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed ±0.1% frequency accuracy over temperature, ultralow 105µA supply current at low frequencies, 8-pin DFN package with exposed thermal pad, and deterministic single-cycle DIV pin switching without runt pulses.
Technical Context
The LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF integrates a proprietary switched-capacitor-controlled master oscillator operating at 7.3728MHz, paired with a binary divider (÷1 to ÷128) controlled by three CMOS digital inputs (DIVA/DIVB/DIVC). Its internal voltage regulation minimizes supply-induced frequency drift (0.07%/V).
It delivers RMS period jitter of 180ps at 7.3728MHz (V+ = 3V), 3ns output rise/fall time, and 40Ω output drive impedance - enabling direct connection to HC logic or microcontroller clock inputs without external buffering while maintaining <0.15% duty cycle deviation across supply and divide settings.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar digitally controlled oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| SiT1533AI-H4-33E-32.768E | 32.768kHz fixed-output MEMS oscillator; no DIV pin control; ±20ppm (±0.002%) initial accuracy | Only supports single frequency; lacks programmability and wide voltage range (1.62–3.63V) | Select when absolute lowest power (55nA standby) and highest stability at 32.768kHz are required, not multi-frequency flexibility |

FAQ
What is the nominal master oscillator frequency of the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF?
The LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF has a factory-programmed master oscillator frequency of exactly 7.372800MHz. This value is fixed and defines all eight selectable output frequencies (e.g., ÷1 = 7.3728MHz, ÷2 = 3.6864MHz, ..., ÷128 = 57.6kHz) via the DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins. The "7.37" suffix in the part number directly references this master frequency.
Does the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF 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 needed. Unlike quartz crystals, it contains internal frequency synthesis and regulation circuitry, eliminating matching networks and load capacitance tuning.
What is the maximum capacitive load the OUT pin of the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF can drive?
The OUT pin of the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF is specified to drive up to 50pF capacitive load or 1kΩ resistive load. At 7.3728MHz and 3V supply, driving 50pF increases supply current by approximately 2.0mA (calculated as CLOAD × VSWING × fOSC). For reliable operation, keep trace capacitance low and use local 0.1µF decoupling on V+/GND pins 6 and 8.
Can the DIV pins of the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF be changed dynamically during operation?
Yes, the DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins of the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF can be reconfigured dynamically during operation. The device responds within one output clock cycle with no glitches, runt pulses, or metastability. This enables real-time clock rate adaptation in power-managed systems - for example, switching from 7.3728MHz during active processing to 32.768kHz for RTC sleep mode.
What is the thermal pad (Pin 9) requirement for the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF DCB package?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 9) on the LTC6930IDCB-7.37#TRPBF's 2mm × 3mm DFN package must be soldered to a PCB copper plane connected to GND. This is mandatory for both thermal dissipation (θJA = 64°C/W) and electrical stability. Failure to connect the pad degrades jitter performance and risks exceeding junction temperature limits under sustained 7.3728MHz operation.
