APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO
SELECTING THE DIVIDER SETTING AND RESISTOR
The LTC6905’s master oscillator has a frequency range
spanning 68.9MHz to 170MHz. A programmable divider
extends the frequency range from 17.225MHz to 170MHz.
Table 1 describes the recommended frequencies for each
divider setting. Note that the ranges overlap; at some
frequencies there are two divider/resistor combinations
that result in the same frequency. Choosing a higher
divider setting will result in less jitter at the expense of
slightly higher supply current.

After choosing the proper divider setting, determine the
correct frequency-setting resistor. Because of the linear
correspondence between oscillation period and resis-
tance, a simple equation relates resistance with frequency.

START-UP TIME
The start-up time and settling time to within 1% of the final
frequency is typically 100µs.

The lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive can be calculated
using the minimum high level output voltage in the Elec-
trical Characteristics. With a V
output current, the minimum high level output voltage is
5V and the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 1.25k
(5V/4mA). With a V
current, the minimum high level output voltage is 1.9V and
the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 475Ω (1.9V/4mA).
FREQUENCY ACCURACY AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE
The frequency accuracy of the LTC6905 may be affected
when its power supply generates noise with frequency
contents equal to f
LTC6905 master oscillator frequency before the divider
and f
quency). If for example, the master oscillator frequency is
set equal to 80MHz and the LTC6905 is powered by a
switching regulator, then the oscillator frequency may
show an additional error if the switching frequency is
1.4MHz (80MHz/64).
JITTER AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE
If the LTC6905 is powered by a supply that has frequency
contents equal to the output frequency then the oscillators
jitter may increase. In addition, power supply ripple in
excess of 20mV at any frequency may increase jitter.
JITTER AND DIVIDE RATIO
At a given output frequency, a higher master oscillator
frequency and a higher divide ratio will result in lower jitter
and higher power supply dissipation. Indeterminate jitter
percentage will decrease by a factor of slightly less than
the square root of the divider ratio, while determinate jitter
will not be similarly attenuated. Please consult the speci-
fication tables and Jitter vs Frequency graph showing jitter
at various divider ratios.
