Product details
Overview
LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a digitally controlled, precision silicon oscillator with factory-set 7.3728MHz master frequency, selectable via DIV pins across 8 output frequencies (57.6kHz to 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 low-power timing reference in battery-operated microcontroller systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF datasheet, LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF pinout, LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF application, or LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its ±0.1% temperature-stable accuracy, MS8 package compatibility, 1.7V–5.5V single-supply operation, and deterministic DIV-pin switching without output glitches.
Technical Context
The LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF implements a proprietary switched-capacitor feedback loop to stabilize its internal 7.3728MHz master oscillator against voltage and temperature variation. Its digital control architecture uses three CMOS input pins (DIVA/DIVB/DIVC) to select binary division ratios (1–128), enabling precise frequency synthesis without external components.
It features dual V+ pins (1 and 8) and dual GND pins (2 and 6) to isolate the oscillator core from output driver noise, achieving typical RMS period jitter <0.15% at 3V and output rise/fall times of 3ns. The output driver has 40Ω series resistance and supports up to 50pF capacitive or 1kΩ resistive load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency Range | 57.6kHz to 7.3728MHz - selectable via 3-bit DIV pin configuration (1–128 division of factory-programmed 7.3728MHz master) |
| Frequency Accuracy | ±0.1% over –40°C to 85°C - ensures stable timing in industrial-grade embedded systems without calibration |
| Supply Voltage | 1.7V to 5.5V - enables direct operation from single Li-ion cell or two AA batteries |
| Supply Current | 183µA typical at 7.3728MHz/3V - ultralow power for frequent wake-up cycles in portable devices |
| Start-Up Time | <110µs - guarantees first valid clock edge within 110µs of V+ reaching 1.7V, critical for low-latency power management |
| RMS Period Jitter | 0.97nsP-P at 7.3728MHz/3V - meets timing margin requirements for MCU clocking and serial interfaces |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for automotive cabin and industrial control environments |
Pinout & Package
Package: 8-Lead Plastic MSOP (MS8), 3.00mm × 4.90mm, 0.65mm pitch, exposed thermal pad not present (unlike DFN variant).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| V+ (Pins 1, 8) | Positive Supply Input | Dual supply pins reduce supply impedance; each must be bypassed to adjacent GND with 0.1µF ceramic capacitor |
| GND (Pins 2, 6) | Ground Reference | Dual ground pins provide low-inductance return path; both must connect to same system ground plane |
| DIVA (Pin 3) | Frequency Divider Control Bit A | CMOS input (VIH ≥1.25V); sets LSB of 3-bit binary divider (N = 20·DIVA + 21·DIVB + 22·DIVC) |
| DIVB (Pin 4) | Frequency Divider Control Bit B | CMOS input (VIL ≤0.7V); middle bit of 3-bit divider; state determines division ratio per Table 1 |
| DIVC (Pin 5) | Frequency Divider Control Bit C | CMOS input (threshold ~1.25V); MSB of 3-bit divider; all three pins define one of eight discrete output frequencies |
| OUT (Pin 7) | CMOS Clock Output | Low-impedance (40Ω) rail-to-rail output; drives 5pF load (two HC inputs) or up to 50pF with increased supply current |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No external timing components required | Self-contained silicon oscillator eliminates crystal, load caps, and matching network - reduces BOM count and layout area |
| Deterministic DIV pin switching | Output transitions cleanly within one clock cycle when DIV inputs change - prevents runt pulses or metastability in synchronous logic |
| Ultralow start-up current | Initial supply current remains below 200µA during first 110µs - minimizes voltage droop on shared battery rails |
| Supply-regulated frequency stability | 0.07%/V frequency drift - maintains accuracy across wide battery discharge range (e.g., 3.6V → 2.7V) |
| Thermal isolation architecture | Dual V+/GND pairs and internal layout separation suppress coupling between oscillator core and output driver - enables sub-1ns jitter |

FAQ
What is the factory-programmed master frequency of the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF?
The LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF is factory-programmed with a 7.3728MHz master oscillator frequency. This value is fixed and non-adjustable; the device uses internal dividers (controlled by DIVA/DIVB/DIVC pins) to generate output frequencies from 57.6kHz to 7.3728MHz in eight discrete steps, as defined in Table 1 of the datasheet.
Can the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF operate from a single 1.8V supply?
Yes, the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF supports supply voltages from 1.7V to 5.5V. At 1.8V, it delivers 7.3728MHz output with typical supply current of 226µA and maintains ±0.8% frequency accuracy across the full –40°C to +85°C range, making it suitable for low-voltage IoT sensor nodes.
Does the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF require external load capacitors like a crystal oscillator?
No, the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF is a fully integrated silicon oscillator and requires no external load capacitors or crystals. Only 0.1µF ceramic bypass capacitors between each V+ pin (1 and 8) and its adjacent GND pin (2 and 6) are mandatory for stable operation and noise suppression.
How does the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF handle switching between frequencies using the DIV pins?
The LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF switches frequencies deterministically within one output clock cycle when DIVA/DIVB/DIVC states change. The output remains glitch-free and free of runt pulses during transition, ensuring safe reconfiguration in real-time systems without disrupting downstream logic timing.
What is the maximum capacitive load the OUT pin of the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF can drive?
The OUT pin of the LTC6930IMS8-7.37#PBF is characterized to drive up to 50pF capacitive load or 1kΩ resistive load. Driving 50pF at 7.3728MHz increases supply current to approximately 2.2mA (calculated as CLOAD × VSWING × fOSC), necessitating proper local decoupling with 0.1µF ceramics on both V+ pins.
