Product details
Overview
MAX7393ALTWB-T from Maxim Integrated is a precision silicon oscillator with autoenable functionality, replacing quartz crystals and ceramic resonators in +2.4V to +3.6V systems. It delivers a factory-set 16MHz output with ±0.25% total accuracy (0°C to +85°C) in TDFN package, and supports automotive-grade operation from −40°C to +125°C. Its rail-to-rail push-pull CLOCK output drives microcontrollers directly without external components.
For engineers reviewing the MAX7393ALTWB-T datasheet, MAX7393ALTWB-T pinout, MAX7393ALTWB-T application, or MAX7393ALTWB-T equivalent, key selection criteria include autoenable (CLKIN) behavior, 16MHz frequency stability across temperature, TDFN-6 package compatibility, and supply current of 6.5mA at 16MHz - critical for USB timing, white goods control, and industrial embedded clocking.
Technical Context
The MAX7393ALTWB-T integrates a temperature-compensated silicon oscillator core with an autoenable circuit that monitors CLKIN for an inverted feedback signal to activate/deactivate the oscillator. It requires no load capacitance or biasing components and operates with dual supplies (VCC/VCC2) tied together at +2.4V to +3.6V.
Its CLOCK output is a CMOS push-pull driver capable of sourcing/sinking 5mA while maintaining rail-to-rail swing, with 5ns rise/fall times and 40–60% duty cycle over full temperature and voltage range. Startup time is 2ms, and peak-to-peak jitter is not specified for 16MHz but follows family trends (e.g., 180ps at 16MHz for MAX7394).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Frequency | 16MHz - factory-trimmed, no user programming required; matches standard microcontroller clock inputs. |
| Total Accuracy (0°C to +85°C) | ±0.25% - guaranteed over commercial temperature range; enables USB 2.0 full-speed timing compliance. |
| Total Accuracy (−40°C to +125°C) | ±1.0% - meets AEC-Q200-relevant stability for automotive and industrial control applications. |
| Supply Voltage Range | +2.4V to +3.6V - compatible with 3.3V logic domains and low-voltage microcontrollers. |
| Operating Current (16MHz) | 6.5mA - measured at VCC = VCC2 = +3.3V; enables power budgeting for battery-backed or energy-conscious designs. |
| Output Rise/Fall Time | 5ns - ensures clean edge integrity for high-speed digital interfaces without added termination. |
| Duty Cycle Range | 40% to 60% - maintains robust setup/hold margins for synchronous logic across voltage and temperature. |
Pinout & Package
MAX7393ALTWB-T uses a 6-pin, 3mm × 3mm × 0.8mm thin dual flat no-lead (TDFN) package with exposed paddle (EP), RoHS-compliant and lead-free. The EP must be soldered to ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - VCC | Primary supply input | Bypassed to GND with 0.1µF capacitor; connected internally to VCC2; powers oscillator core. |
| 2 - GND | Ground reference | Common return path for VCC, VCC2, and output stage; must be low-impedance for jitter control. |
| 3 - I.C. | Internally connected terminal | Must be externally tied to GND; floating or misconnected I.C. causes functional failure. |
| 4 - CLKIN | Autoenable control input | Monitors inverted clock feedback to enable/disable oscillator; high-impedance disable state when inactive. |
| 5 - CLOCK | CMOS clock output | Rail-to-rail push-pull output; drives µC/µP clock inputs directly; no external load capacitance needed. |
| 6 - VCC2 | Output driver supply | Bypassed separately to GND with 0.1µF capacitor; same voltage as VCC; powers CLOCK output stage. |
| EP - Exposed Paddle | Thermal & electrical ground | Must be soldered to PCB ground plane; improves thermal dissipation and reduces EMI susceptibility. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Autoenable via CLKIN | Eliminates external enable logic by using returned clock inversion - reduces BOM count and PCB area in µC-based systems. |
| No external components | Removes need for load capacitors, pull-ups, or bias resistors - simplifies crystal replacement and improves layout reliability. |
| Robust environmental operation | Specified for −40°C to +125°C with ±1.0% accuracy - suitable for under-hood automotive modules and industrial motor controls. |
| Low-jitter CMOS output | 5ns edge rates and stable 40–60% duty cycle minimize timing skew in synchronous peripherals like USB PHYs and SPI masters. |
| Humidity/vibration resistance | Silicon MEMS-like construction avoids crystal fragility - ideal for handheld, appliance, and transportation equipment. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar precision oscillator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX7393ALTTP-T | Factory-set to 8MHz; identical TDFN-6 package, pinout, and autoenable architecture. | Used where lower clock frequency reduces EMI or matches legacy peripheral timing requirements. | Select when 8MHz suffices for target µC clock domain and system timing budget allows halved frequency. |
| SiT8008AI-12-XXE-16.000000 | 16MHz, ±20ppm (±0.002%) accuracy, 3.2mm × 2.5mm SMD package; no autoenable function. | Requires external enable logic or always-on operation; superior stability but higher cost and larger footprint. | Choose when ultra-high stability (<±0.002%) is mandatory and autoenable is unnecessary or implemented externally. |
Compared with MAX7393ALTWB-T, MAX7393ALTTP-T offers identical interface and reliability at half the frequency, while SiT8008AI-12-XXE-16.000000 trades autoenable capability for significantly tighter frequency tolerance - making it suitable only where precision outweighs functional integration needs.

FAQ
What is the factory-set frequency of the MAX7393ALTWB-T?
The MAX7393ALTWB-T is factory-trimmed to 16MHz. This frequency is laser-programmed during manufacturing and cannot be adjusted in-circuit. The "WB" suffix in the part number explicitly denotes the 16MHz variant per Maxim's Selector Guide, and it is verified across all production lots for ±0.25% accuracy from 0°C to +85°C.
Does the MAX7393ALTWB-T require external load capacitors like quartz crystals?
No, the MAX7393ALTWB-T does not require external load capacitors. As a fully integrated silicon oscillator, it contains internal compensation and drive circuitry. Removing all crystal-related biasing components (e.g., 12–22pF caps, series resistors) is required when retrofitting - confirmed in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
How does the autoenable (CLKIN) function work on the MAX7393ALTWB-T?
The MAX7393ALTWB-T monitors CLKIN for an inverted version of its own CLOCK output. When active inversion is detected (e.g., via external NAND gate), the oscillator enables; absence of inversion places it in shutdown, drawing <2µA. This eliminates external enable logic and synchronizes startup with system clock tree activation.
What is the recommended PCB layout for the exposed paddle (EP) on the MAX7393ALTWB-T?
The exposed paddle (EP) of the MAX7393ALTWB-T must be soldered to a solid PCB ground plane using ≥4 thermal vias (0.3mm diameter) placed within the paddle area. Per Maxim's package drawings (T633-2), EP is electrically and thermally connected to GND - omitting this connection degrades thermal performance and may increase jitter or cause instability.
Can the MAX7393ALTWB-T operate from a single 3.3V supply?
Yes, the MAX7393ALTWB-T operates from a single 3.3V supply. VCC and VCC2 must be connected to the same 3.3V rail, each bypassed independently with 0.1µF ceramic capacitors to GND. This configuration satisfies the +2.4V to +3.6V specification and ensures proper core and output driver operation per the Power-Supply Considerations section.
