Changing DIVCODE After Start-Up
Following start-up, the A/D converter will continue
monitoring V
be recognized slowly, as the LTC6992 places a priority on
eliminating any “wandering” in the DIVCODE. The typical
delay depends on the difference between the old and
new DIVCODE settings and is proportional to the master
oscillator period.
A change in DIVCODE will not be recognized until it is
stable, and will not pass through intermediate codes.
A digital filter is used to guarantee the DIVCODE has settled
to a new value before making changes to the output. Then
the output will make a clean (glitchless) transition to the
new divider setting.

Start-Up Time
When power is first applied to the LTC6992 the power-on
reset (POR) circuit will initiate the start-up time, t

the first pulse has the correct width. If POL = 1 (DIVCODE
≥ 8), the first pulse width can be shorter or longer than
expected, depending on the duty cycle setting, and will
never be less than 25% of t
During start-up, the DIV pin A/D converter must determine
the correct DIVCODE before the output is enabled. The
start-up time may increase if the supply or DIV pin volt-
ages are not stable. For this reason, it is recommended to
minimize the capacitance on the DIV pin so it will properly
