DEMO CIRCUIT 1446 DEMO CIRCUIT 1446 QUICK START GUIDE - LTC6909 QUICK START GUIDE 3 TO 8 OUTPUT MULTIPHASE OSCILLATOR WITH SSFM LTC6909 3 TO 8 OUTPUT MULTIPHASE OSCILLATOR with SSFM DESCRIPTION Demonstration circuit 1446 features the LTC6909 multiple output oscillator with spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM). The LTC®6909 is an easy to use precision oscillator that can provide 1-, 2-, 3-, 4-, 5-, 6-, 7- or 8-phase synchronized outputs. The LTC6909 spread spectrum frequency modulation (SSFM), can be enabled to improve electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) performance. Eight separate outputs provide up to eight rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle clock signals. Using three logic inputs, the outputs are configured for phase separation, ranging from 45° to 120° (three to eight phases). The clock outputs can also be held low or configured for Hi-Z. A single resistor (RSET) combined with the phase configuration, sets the output frequency, based on the following formula: fOUT = (20MHz x 10k)/(RSET x PH) where PH = 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8 the fOUT range is 12.5kHz to 6.67MHz. The PH0, PH1 and PH2 logic inputs define the LTC6909 multi-phase mode of operation and control its outputs as follows: PH2 PH1 PH0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 1 0 0 1 1 1 0 0 1 0 1 1 1 0 1 1 1 MODE All Outputs Are Floating (Hi-Z) All Outputs Are Held Low 3-Phase Mode (PH = 3) 4-Phase Mode (PH = 4) 5-Phase Mode (PH = 5) 6-Phase Mode (PH = 6) 7-Phase Mode (PH = 7) 8-Phase Mode (PH = 8) A DC1446 contains an LTC6909 and test terminals for the eight outputs. On board jumpers are provided to set the LTC6909 phase inputs (PH0, PH1 and PH2) and the SSFM modulation. The on board frequency setting resistor (RSET) is pre-loaded with a 100k surface mount resistor (in addition, two pin receptacles are provided for using a leaded RSET resistor).

QUICK START PROCEDURE Demonstration circuit 1446 is easy to set up and test. Refer to Figure 1 for the quick test setup and follow the procedure below: 2. Set the power supply to 5V. 1. Place jumpers in the following positions: 4. With a 10x probe connected to OUT1 the oscilloscope should show a 5V, 250kHz, squarewave (±4.5%). 3. Turn on the power supply. JP3 (PH0) to V+, JP4 (PH1) to V+, JP1 (PH2) to V+ and JP1 (MOD) to SSFM OFF. 1 DEMO CIRCUIT 1446 QUICK START GUIDE - LTC6909 3 TO 8 OUTPUT MULTIPHASE OSCILLATOR WITH SSFM QUICK START SET-UP Figure 1. Quick Test Setup Single Power Supply + - Oscilloscope NOTE: The 6909 outputs (OUT1-OUT8) can drive 1k and 50pF loads. If a spectrum analyzer is used to measure the spread spectrum bandwidth then use a high impedance probe to monitor the outputs (typically the input impedance of a spectrum analyzer is 50 ohms).
