Product details
Overview
LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF from Analog Devices is a silicon-based low-frequency oscillator IC designed for long-duration timing events, featuring programmable clock periods from 1.024 ms to 9.54 hours (29.1 µHz to 977 Hz), ±1.5% max frequency accuracy, and operation across –40°C to 125°C. It uses a single RSET resistor and DIV pin voltage to configure NDIV divider settings (1–221) and polarity mode, with CMOS output capable of sourcing/sinking 20 mA - deployed in automotive watchdog timers and battery-powered intervalometers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF pinout, LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF application, or LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, reset-triggered duty-cycle truncation, 55–80 µA supply current over 2.25–5.5 V supply, and SOT-23 package compatibility with high-vibration environments.
Technical Context
The LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF integrates a master oscillator (1 MHz max) whose frequency is set by ISET current sourced from the SET pin, regulated to 1.00 V ±30 mV. This current determines fMASTER = 1 MHz × 50 kΩ / RSET, then passes through a fixed ÷1024 divider followed by an 8-step programmable divider (NDIV = 1, 8, 64, ..., 221) selected via a 4-bit A/D converter on the DIV pin.
Its reset function operates independently of oscillation - the internal master clock continues running during RST assertion - enabling precise pulse truncation without halting timing core. Polarity (POL bit) configures active-high/low behavior for both RST and OUT pins, with glitch-free DIVCODE transitions completing in <500×tMASTER and no output pulse shorter than tMASTER = 1 µs.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (S6), 1 mm profile, RoHS-compliant, lead-free finish. Exposed pad not present in S6 variant.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RST (Pin 1) | Reset control input | Active state determined by POL bit; asserts immediate output latch reset without stopping internal oscillator |
| GND (Pin 2) | Analog/digital ground reference | Low-inductance return path required; bypass V+ to this pin with 0.1 µF capacitor |
| SET (Pin 3) | Frequency-setting current input | Sinks 1.25–20 µA; connects to GND via precision RSET resistor to program master oscillator |
| DIV (Pin 4) | Divider/polarity configuration input | V+ referenced 4-bit A/D input; resistor divider sets NDIV and POL bit simultaneously |
| V+ (Pin 5) | Power supply input | 2.25–5.5 V; must be low-noise; internal POR circuit initiates start-up sequence |
| OUT (Pin 6) | CMOS clock output | Swings rail-to-rail (GND to V+); 30 Ω output impedance; supports 20 mA sink/source |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Resettable pulse generation | Truncates output period on demand while preserving internal timing continuity - critical for synchronized system wake-up |
| Polarity-selectable I/O | POL bit configures RST/OUT as active-high or active-low in same hardware layout - eliminates board revisions for signal inversion |
| Single-resistor frequency programming | RSET resistor (50–800 kΩ) sets base frequency with no calibration needed - reduces BOM count and assembly cost |
| AEC-Q100 automotive qualification | H-grade (–40°C to +125°C) qualification confirmed for automotive applications - enables drop-in use in ADAS and body control modules |
| Ultra-low supply current | As low as 55 µA at 2.25 V/800 kΩ - extends coin-cell lifetime beyond 10 years in 1-minute wake-up applications |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar low-frequency oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC6991IS6#TRPBF | Same architecture and pinout; rated for –40°C to +85°C (I-grade), not AEC-Q100 qualified | Suitable for industrial controls but not automotive under-hood use | Select when ambient temperature stays below 85°C and automotive qualification is unnecessary |
| MAX6373KA+T | Fixed 1.2 s watchdog timer only; no programmable period or reset-triggered truncation | Provides basic reset-on-timeout; lacks flexible interval generation or polarity control | Choose only for simple watchdog-only functions where programmability is not required |
Compared with LTC6991IS6#TRPBF, the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF adds AEC-Q100 qualification and extended high-temp operation, while MAX6373KA+T trades full programmability for lower cost and simpler integration in non-timing-critical systems.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF?
The LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade H applications. This rating is confirmed in the official Analog Devices datasheet Rev. D, Absolute Maximum Ratings and Specified Temperature Range tables, and applies specifically to the HS6#WTRPBF variant with TSOT-23 packaging.
How does the reset function work on the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF?
The reset function on the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF truncates the output pulse without stopping the internal master oscillator. When RST is asserted (state depends on POL bit), the output latch is immediately forced to a defined level (0 or 1), shortening the current period. The LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF continues counting internally, ensuring timing continuity - essential for synchronized wake-up in power-gated systems.
Can the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF generate sub-1 Hz frequencies?
Yes, the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF supports output frequencies down to 29.1 µHz (period up to 34,360 seconds ≈ 9.54 hours) using NDIV = 221 and RSET = 800 kΩ. This capability is explicitly verified in the Electrical Characteristics table (tOUT = 34,360 s, fOUT = 29.1 µHz) and enables ultra-low-power periodic wake-up in remote sensor nodes.
What package type is used for the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF?
The LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF uses the 6-lead plastic TSOT-23 (S6) package, measuring 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm × 1.0 mm. This low-profile package is RoHS-compliant and features gull-wing leads - confirmed in the Order Information table and Pin Configuration diagram of the LTC6991 datasheet Rev. D.
Is the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF pin-compatible with other TimerBlox oscillators?
No - the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF is not pin-compatible with other TimerBlox devices (e.g., LTC6990, LTC6992, LTC6993, LTC6994). Each TimerBlox part has distinct pin functions and configurations; the LTC6991HS6#WTRPBF's unique 6-pin SOT-23 layout with dedicated SET, DIV, and RST pins is specific to its programmable low-frequency oscillator architecture.
