The LTC®6991 is a silicon oscillator with a programmable
period range of 1.024ms to 9.54 hours (29.1μHz to 977Hz),
specifically intended for long duration timing events. The
LTC6991 is part of the TimerBlox® family of versatile silicon
timing devices.
A single resistor, RSET , programs the LTC6991’s internal
master oscillator frequency. The output clock period
is determined by this master oscillator and an internal
frequency divider, NDIV , programmable to eight settings
from 1 to 221.
tOUT =
NDIV • RSET
• 1.024ms, NDIV = 1,8,64,...,221
50kΩ
In normal operation, the LTC6991 oscillates with a 50%
duty cycle. A reset function is provided to truncate the
pulse (reducing the duty cycle). The reset pin can also be
used to prevent the output from oscillating.
The RST and OUT pins can be configured for active-low
or active-high operation using a polarity function.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC6991C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: The LTC6991C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6991C is designed, characterized and expected to
meet specified performance from –40°C to 85°C but it is not tested or
QA sampled at these temperatures. The LTC6991I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6991H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC6991MP is
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –55°C to 125°C.
Note 4: Frequency accuracy is defined as the deviation from the fOUT
equation, assuming RSET is used to program the frequency.
Note 5: See Operation section, Table 1 and Figure 2 for a full explanation
of how the DIV pin voltage selects the value of DIVCODE.
Note 6: The RST pin has hysteresis to accommodate slow rising or falling
signals. The threshold voltages are proportional to V+. Typical values can
be estimated at any supply voltage using VRST(RISING) ≈ 0.55 • V+ + 185mV
and VRST(FALLING) ≈ 0.48 • V+ – 155mV.

Note 7: To conform to the Logic IC Standard, current out of a pin is
arbitrarily given a negative value.
Note 8: Output rise and fall times are measured between the 10% and the
90% power supply levels with 5pF output load. These specifications are
based on characterization.
Note 9: Settling time is the amount of time required for the output to settle
within ±1% of the final frequency after a 0.5× or 2× change in ISET .
Note 10: Jitter is the ratio of the deviation of the period to the mean of the
period. This specification is based on characterization and is not 100%
tested.
Note 11: Long-term drift of silicon oscillators is primarily due to the
movement of ions and impurities within the silicon and is tested at 30°C
under otherwise nominal operating conditions. Long-term drift is specified
as ppm/√kHr due to the typically nonlinear nature of the drift. To calculate
drift for a set time period, translate that time into thousands of hours, take
the square root and multiply by the typical drift number. For instance, a
year is 8.77kHr and would yield a drift of 266ppm at 90ppm/√kHr. Drift
without power applied to the device may be approximated as 1/10th of the
drift with power, or 9ppm/√kHr for a 90ppm/√kHr device.

6991 G19
(DCB/S6)
V+ (Pin 1/Pin 5): Supply Voltage (2.25V to 5.5V). This
supply should be kept free from noise and ripple. It should
be bypassed directly to the GND pin with a 0.1μF capacitor.
50ppm/°C or better temperature coefficient. For lower accuracy applications an inexpensive 1% thick film resistor
may be used.
DIV (Pin 2/Pin 4): Programmable Divider and Polarity
Input. A V+ referenced A/D converter monitors the DIV
pin voltage (VDIV) to determine a 4-bit result (DIVCODE).
VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+
and GND. Use 1% resistors to ensure an accurate result.
The DIV pin and resistors should be shielded from the
OUT pin or any other traces that have fast edges. Limit
the capacitance on the DIV pin to less than 100pF so that
VDIV settles quickly. The MSB of DIVCODE (POL) determines the polarity of the RST and OUT pins. If POL = 0,
RST is active-high, and forces OUT low. If POL = 1, RST
is active-low and forces OUT high.
Limit the capacitance on the SET pin to less than 10pF
to minimize jitter and ensure stability. Capacitance less
than 100pF maintains the stability of the feedback circuit
regulating the VSET voltage.
SET (Pin 3/Pin 3): Frequency-Setting Input. The voltage
on the SET pin (VSET) is regulated to 1V above GND. The
amount of current sourced from the SET pin (ISET) programs the master oscillator frequency. The ISET current
range is 1.25μA to 20μA. The output oscillation will stop
if ISET drops below approximately 500nA. A resistor connected between SET and GND is the most accurate way to
set the frequency. For best performance, use a precision
metal or thin film resistor of 0.5% or better tolerance and

RST (Pin 4/Pin 1): Output Reset. The behavior of the RST
pin is dependent on the polarity bit (POL). The POL bit is
configured via the DIVCODE setting. When POL = 0, setting RST high forces OUT low and setting RST low allows
the output to oscillate. When POL = 1, RST is active low.
In that case, setting RST low forces OUT high and setting
RST high allows the output to oscillate.

LTC6991
OPERATION
The LTC6991 is built around a master oscillator with a
1MHz maximum frequency. The oscillator is controlled
by the SET pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a
1MHz • 50k conversion factor that is accurate to ±0.8%
under typical conditions.
fMASTER =
1
tMASTER
I
= 1MHz • 50kΩ • SET
VSET
A feedback loop maintains VSET at 1V ±30mV, leaving ISET
as the primary means of controlling the output frequency.
The simplest way to generate ISET is to connect a resistor
(RSET) between SET and GND, such that ISET = VSET/RSET .
The master oscillator equation reduces to:
fMASTER =
1
tMASTER
=
1MHz • 50kΩ
RSET
From this equation, it is clear that VSET drift will not affect
the output frequency when using a single program resistor
(RSET). Error sources are limited to RSET tolerance and
the inherent frequency accuracy ΔfOUT of the LTC6991.
RSET may range from 50k to 800k (equivalent to ISET
between 1.25μA and 20μA).
Before reaching the OUT pin, the oscillator frequency
passes through a fixed ÷1024 divider. The LTC6991 also
includes a programmable frequency divider which can
further divide the frequency by 1, 8, 64, 512, 4096, 215,
218 or 221. The divider ratio NDIV is set by a resistor divider
attached to the DIV pin.

DIVCODE
The DIV pin connects to an internal, V+ referenced 4-bit A/D
converter that determines the DIVCODE value. DIVCODE
programs two settings on the LTC6991:
1. DIVCODE determines the output frequency divider setting, NDIV .
2. DIVCODE determines the polarity of the RST and OUT
pins, via the POL bit.
VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+
and GND as shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. Simple Technique for Setting DIVCODE
Table 1 offers recommended 1% resistor values that accurately produce the correct voltage division as well as the
corresponding NDIV and POL values for the recommended
resistor pairs. Other values may be used as long as:
1. The VDIV/V+ ratio is accurate to ±1.5% (including resistor tolerances and temperature effects)
2. The driving impedance (R1||R2) does not exceed 500kΩ.
If the voltage is generated by other means (i.e., the output
of a DAC) it must track the V+ supply voltage. The last
column in Table 1 shows the ideal ratio of VDIV to the
supply voltage, which can also be calculated as:
VDIV DIVCODE + 0.5
=
± 1.5%

For example, if the supply is 3.3V and the desired DIVCODE
is 4, VDIV = 0.281 • 3.3V = 928mV ± 50mV.
Figure 2 illustrates the information in Table 1, showing
that NDIV is symmetric around the DIVCODE midpoint.

LTC6991
OPERATION
RST Pin and Polarity (POL) Bit
The RST pin controls the state of the LTC6991’s output
as seen on the OUT pin. The active/inactive voltage levels
depend on the POL bit setting.
If POL = 0, the reset pin is active high and the output latch
is not inverted. Therefore, pulling the RST pin high will
reset the output latch and force the OUT pin low. Pulling
RST low will allow the output to oscillate, with the next
rising edge dependent on the internal oscillator.

Oscillating
Each period of the LTC6991’s internal oscillator clocks the
output state latch (see Block Diagram). The reset pin (RST)
can reset or hold off the output latch. The active state of
the reset pin is determined by the polarity function (POL).
Similarly, the output latch is followed by a buffer that can
invert the output. The output polarity is also controlled
by the POL bit.
If POL = 1, the reset pin is active low and the output latch
is inverted. Therefore, pulling the RST pin low will reset
the output latch and force the OUT pin high. Pulling RST
high will allow the output to oscillate, with the next falling
edge dependent on the internal oscillator.
Note that the master oscillator frequency and phase are not
affected by the RST pin; The LTC6991 continues to oscillate, internally, even when RST is active. While the reset
function can block an output pulse, its exact placement in
time can only be changed by power cycling the LTC6991.

LTC6991
OPERATION
Changing DIVCODE After Start-Up
Following start-up, the A/D converter will continue
monitoring VDIV for changes. The LTC6991 will respond
to DIVCODE changes in less than one cycle.
tDIVCODE < 500 • tMASTER < tOUT
The start-up time may increase if the supply or DIV pin
voltages are not stable. For this reason, it is recommended
to minimize the capacitance on the DIV pin so it will properly track V+. Less than 100pF will not affect performance.
Start-Up Behavior
The output may have an inaccurate pulse width during the
frequency transition. But the transition will be glitch-free
and no high or low pulse can be shorter than the master clock period. A digital filter is used to guarantee the
DIVCODE has settled to a new value before making changes
to the output.
When first powered up, the output is held low. If the polarity is set for non-inversion (POL = 0) and the output is
enabled (RST = 0) at the end of the start-up time, OUT will
begin oscillating. If the output is being reset (RST = 1) at
the end of the start-up time, the first pulse will be skipped.
Subsequent pulses will also be skipped until RST = 0.
Start-Up Time
In inverted operation (POL = 1), the start-up sequence is
similar. However, the LTC6991 does not know the correct
DIVCODE setting when first powered up, so the output
defaults low. At the end of tSTART , the value of DIVCODE is
recognized and OUT goes high (inactive) because POL = 1.
If RST = 1 (inactive) then OUT will quickly fall after a single
tMASTER cycle. If RST = 0 at the end of the start-up time,
the output is held in reset and remains high.
When power is first applied, the power-on reset (POR)
circuit will initiate the start-up time, tSTART . The OUT pin
is held low during this time. The typical value for tSTART
ranges from 0.5ms to 8ms depending on the master oscillator frequency (independent of NDIV):
tSTART(TYP) = 500 • tMASTER
During start-up, the DIV pin A/D converter must determine the correct DIVCODE before the output is enabled.

LTC6991
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Basic Operation
The simplest and most accurate method to program the
LTC6991 is to use a single resistor, RSET , between the SET
and GND pins. The design procedure is a 3-step process.
First select the POL bit setting and NDIV value, then calculate
the value for the RSET resistor.
Alternatively, Linear Technology offers the easy to use
TimerBlox Designer tool to quickly design any LTC6991
based circuit. Download the free TimerBlox Designer
software at www.linear.com/timerblox.
Step 1: Select the POL Bit Setting
The LTC6991 can operate in normal (active-high) or inverted
(active-low) modes, depending on the setting of the POL
bit. The best choice depends on the the application.
Step 2: Select the NDIV Frequency Divider Value
As explained earlier, the voltage on the DIV pin sets the
DIVCODE which determines both the POL bit and the NDIV
value. For a given output clock period, NDIV should be
selected to be within the following range.
tOUT
t
≤ NDIV ≤ OUT
16.384ms
1.024ms
(1)
To minimize supply current, choose the lowest NDIV value
(generally recommended). Alternatively, use Table 1
as a guide to select the best NDIV value for the given
application.
With POL already chosen, this completes the selection of
DIVCODE. Use Table 1 to select the proper resistor divider
or VDIV/V+ ratio to apply to the DIV pin.
Example: Design a 1Hz oscillator with minimum power
consumption and active-high reset input.
Step 1: Select the POL Bit Setting
For noninverted (active-high) functionality, choose
POL = 0.
Step 2: Select the NDIV Frequency Divider Value
Choose an NDIV value that meets the requirements of
Equation (1), using tOUT = 1000ms:
61.04 ≤ NDIV ≤ 976.6
Potential settings for NDIV include 64 and 512. NDIV = 64
is the best choice, as it minimizes supply current by using a large RSET resistor. POL = 0 and NDIV = 64 requires
DIVCODE = 2. Using Table 1, choose R1 = 976k and
R2 = 182k values to program DIVCODE = 2.
Step 3: Select RSET
Calculate the correct value for RSET using Equation (2).
RSET =
50k
1000ms
•
= 763k
1.024ms
64
Since 763k is not available as a standard 1% resistor,
substitute 768k if a –0.7% frequency shift is acceptable.
Otherwise, select a parallel or series pair of resistors such
as 576k + 187k to attain a more precise resistance.
The completed design is shown in Figure 11.

LTC6991
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LTC6991 as “Wake-Up Timer”
input to filter start-up glitches from the system as it is
powered on.
The output latch reset function provided by the RST pin
allows the LTC6991 to enable a larger system at regular
intervals. The on-time can be controlled by the system.
This allows the system to shut itself down immediately
after performing its tasks, reducing power consumption.
If the LTC6991 is enabling a switching regulator that can
operate on supplies greater than 5.5V, it will be necessary
to limit the supply voltage provided to the LTC6991. If
the LTC6991 output is not heavily loaded, and if a large
RSET resistor is used, the supply current will not be much
larger than 100μA, so a simple regulator circuit can be
constructed using a Zener diode.
Figure 12 shows an example using “black boxes” for a
switching regulator and the system being duty-cycled.

The RST pin has hysteresis to accommodate slow-changing
input voltages. Furthermore, the trip points are proportional
to the supply voltage (see Note 6 and the RST Threshold

only difference is in the POL bit setting, which controls
whether the pulse is positive or negative.

Digital Frequency Control
The control voltage can be generated by a DAC (digitalto-analog converter), resulting in a digitally-controlled
frequency. Many DACs allow for the use of an external
reference. If such a DAC is used to provide the VCTRL
voltage, the VSET dependency can be eliminated by buffering VSET and using it as the DAC’s reference voltage, as
shown in Figure 15. The DAC’s output voltage now tracks
any VSET variation and eliminates it as an error source.
The SET pin cannot be tied directly to the reference input
of the DAC because the current drawn by the DAC’s REF
input would affect the frequency.

The oscillator can still function with reduced accuracy for
ISET < 1.25μA. At approximately 500nA, the oscillator output
will be frozen in its current state. The output could halt in
a high or low state. This avoids introducing short pulses
when frequency modulating a very low frequency output.
At the other extreme, it is not recommended to operate
the master oscillator beyond 2MHz because the accuracy
of the DIV pin ADC will suffer.
Frequency Modulation and Settling Time
The LTC6991 will respond to changes in ISET up to a –3dB
bandwidth of 0.4 • fOUT .
Following a 2× or 0.5× step change in ISET , the output
frequency takes less than one cycle to settle to within 1%
of the final value.
Power Supply Current
The power supply current varies with frequency, supply
voltage and output loading. It can be estimated under
any condition using the following equation. This equation
ignores CLOAD (valid for CLOAD < 1nF) and assumes the
output has 50% duty cycle.

Supply Bypassing and PCB Layout Guidelines
The LTC6991 is a 2.2% accurate silicon oscillator when
used in the appropriate manner. The part is simple to use
and by following a few rules, the expected performance
is easily achieved. Adequate supply bypassing and proper
PCB layout are important to ensure this.
Figure 18 shows example PCB layouts for both the TSOT-23
and DFN packages using 0603 sized passive components.
The layouts assume a two layer board with a ground plane
layer beneath and around the LTC6991. These layouts are
a guide and need not be followed exactly.

1. Connect the bypass capacitor, C1, directly to the V+ and
GND pins using a low inductance path. The connection
from C1 to the V+ pin is easily done directly on the top
layer. For the DFN package, C1’s connection to GND is
also simply done on the top layer. For the TSOT-23, OUT
can be routed through the C1 pads to allow a good C1
GND connection. If the PCB design rules do not allow
that, C1’s GND connection can be accomplished through
multiple vias to the ground plane. Multiple vias for both
the GND pin connection to the ground plane and the
C1 connection to the ground plane are recommended
to minimize the inductance. Capacitor C1 should be a
0.1μF ceramic capacitor.
3. Place RSET as close as possible to the SET pin and
make a direct, short connection. The SET pin is a
current summing node and currents injected into this
pin directly modulate the operating frequency. Having
a short connection minimizes the exposure to signal
pickup.
2. Place all passive components on the top side of the
board. This minimizes trace inductance.
6. Place R1 and R2 close to the DIV pin. A direct, short
connection to the DIV pin minimizes the external signal
coupling.
4. Connect RSET directly to the GND pin. Using a long path
or vias to the ground plane will not have a significant
affect on accuracy, but a direct, short connection is
recommended and easy to apply.
5. Use a ground trace to shield the SET pin. This provides
another layer of protection from radiated signals.
