DESCRIPTION


The demo board for the TS3005 is a completely
assembled and tested circuit board that can be used
for evaluating the TS3005. The TS3005 is a singlesupply,
second-generation
Touchstone
Semi
oscillator/timer fully specified to operate at a supply
voltage range of 1.55V to 5.25V while consuming less
than 1.5μA(max) supply current. Requiring only a
resistor to set the base output frequency (or output
period) at 49Hz (or 20.5ms) with a 50% duty cycle,
the TS3005 timer/oscillator is compact, easy-to-use,
and versatile. Optimized for ultra-long life, low
frequency, battery-powered/portable applications, the
TS3005 joins the TS3001, TS3002, TS3003, TS3004,
and TS3006 in Touchstone’s CMOS timer family in its
“NanoWatt Analog™” series of high-performance
analog integrated circuits.

The TS3005 requires only an RSET = 10MΩ resistor
to set the FOUT/PWMOUT output period range to
between 47.4ms and 27.6 hours. To change the
output period, an FDIV2:0 combination can be
selected. With an on-board 0.1µF CPWM capacitor,
the duty cycle of PWMOUT is set at approximately
63%. Further reduction of the duty cycle is available
with an on-board 1MΩ potentiometer. The complete
circuit is designed at a supply voltage of 5V. The
TS3005 is fully specified over the -40°C to +85°C
temperature range and is available in a low-profile,
10-pin 3x3mm TDFN package with an exposed backside paddle.

DESCRIPTION
The TS3005 requires only an RSET = 10MΩ resistor
to set the FOUT/PWMOUT output period between
47.4ms and 27.6 hours. To change the output period,
an FDIV2:0 combination can be selected. With an onboard 0.1µF CPWM capacitor, the duty cycle of
PWMOUT is set at approximately 63%. Further
reduction of the duty cycle is available with an onboard 1MΩ potentiometer. The complete circuit is
designed at a supply voltage of 5V and it is shown in
Figure 1.
where ICPWM and VCPWM is the current supplied and
voltage applied to the CPWM capacitor, respectively.
The pulse width is determined based on the period of
FOUT and should never be greater than the period at
FOUT. Make sure the PWM_CNTRL pin is set to at
least 400mV when calculating the pulse width of
PWMOUT. Note VCPWM is approximately 300mV,
which is the RSET voltage. Also note that ICPWM is
either 1µA or 100nA. Refer to Table 2 for the output
period range available with a 10MΩ RSET resistor.

The TS3005 is a user-programmable oscillator where
the period of the square wave at its FOUT terminal is
generated by an external resistor connected to the
RSET pin. The output period is given by:

With RSET = 10MΩ and FDIV2:0=000(0), the FOUT
period is approximately 47.4ms with a 50% duty
cycle. As design aids, Tables 1 lists TS3005’s typical

The TS3005 also provides a separate PWM output
signal at its PWMOUT terminal that is anti-phase with
respect to FOUT. To adjust the pulse width of the
PWMOUT output, a single capacitor can be placed at
the CPWM pin. To determine the capacitance needed
for a desired pulse width, the following equation is to
be used:
Pulse Width(s) CPWM
CPWM( )=
300m
CPWM
The PWMOUT output pulse width can be adjusted
further after selecting a CPWM capacitor. This can be
achieved by applying a voltage to the PWM_CNTRL
pin between VRSET and GND. With a voltage of at
least VRSET, the pulse width is set based on
Equation 2. For example, with a period of 47.4ms and
a 0.1µF capacitor at the CPWM pin generates a pulse
width of approximately 30ms. This can be calculated
using Equation 2. By reducing the PWM_CNTRL
voltage from VRSET 300mV to GND, the pulse width
can be reduced further. Note that VRSET can be set up
to VDD.

TS3005 Demo Board
To evaluate the TS3005 silicon timer, the following
steps are to be performed:
1) Before connecting the DC power supply to the
demo board, turn on the power supply, set the
DC voltage to 5V, and then turn it off.
2) Connect the DC power supply positive terminal to
the test point labeled VDD. Connect the negative
terminal of the DC power supply to the test point
labeled GND.
3) To monitor the FOUT output signal, connect the
signal terminal of an oscilloscope probe to the
test point labeled FOUT and the ground terminal
to the test point labeled GND.
4) To monitor the PWMOUT output signal, connect
the signal terminal of a second oscilloscope
probe to the test point labeled PWM_OUT and
the ground terminal to the test point labeled GND.

5) Select two channels on the oscilloscope and set
the vertical voltage scale and the vertical position
on each channel to 2V/DIV and 0V, respectively.
Set the horizontal time scale to 10ms/DIV. The
coupling should be DC coupling. Turn on the
power supply.
The supply current will vary depending on the
load on the output. Given the default set-up on
the board, the FOUT/PWMOUT output period is
approximately 47.4ms. The PWMOUT duty cycle
is set to approximately 63%. With an output load
of 15pF on both FOUT and PWMOUT outputs
due to the oscilloscope probes, the supply current
should be less than 3µA.
6) To change the period, change the combination of
FDIV2:0 via jumpers FDIV2, FDIV1, and FDIV0.
Refer to Table 2.
7) If further reduction of the duty cycle of the
PWMOUT output is desired, turn the
potentiometer clockwise. If jumper J1 is removed,
the PWM_CNTRL pin is tied to VDD and the
potentiometer will not change the PWMOUT
output duty cycle.
