The LTC®6992 is a silicon oscillator with an easy-to-use
analog voltage-controlled pulse width modulation (PWM)
capability. The LTC6992 is part of the TimerBlox® family
of versatile silicon timing devices.
A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6992’s internal master oscillator frequency. The output frequency
is determined by this master oscillator and an internal
frequency divider, NDIV, programmable to eight settings
from 1 to 16384.
fOUT =
1MHz 50kΩ
•
, N = 1,4,16 …16384
NDIV RSET DIV
Applying a voltage between 0V and 1V on the MOD pin
sets the duty cycle.
The four versions differ in their minimum/maximum duty
cycle. Note that a minimum duty cycle limit of 0% or
maximum duty cycle limit of 100% allows oscillations to
stop at the extreme duty cycle settings.

Electrical Characteristics
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 LTC6992C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: The LTC6992C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6992C 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 LTC6992I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6992H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC6992MP 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: Duty cycle settling time is the amount of time required for the
output to settle within ±1% of the final duty cycle after a ±10% change in
the setting (±80mV step in VMOD).
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: Jitter is the ratio of the peak-to-peak deviation of the period to the
mean of the period. This specification is based on characterization and is
not 100% tested.
Note 10: 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.

Pin Functions
(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.
DIV (Pin 2/Pin 4): Programmable Divider and Polarity
Input. The DIV pin voltage (VDIV) is internally converted
into 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 if the PWM signal is inverted
before driving the output. When POL = 1 the transfer function is inverted (duty cycle decreasing as VMOD increases).
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
50ppm/°C or better temperature coefficient. For lower accuracy applications an inexpensive 1% thick film resistor
may be used.
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.

MOD (Pin 4/Pin 1): Pulse-Width Modulation Input. The
voltage on the MOD pin controls the output duty cycle. The
linear control range is between 0.1 • VSET and 0.9 • VSET
(approximately 100mV to 900mV). Beyond those limits,
the output will either clamp at 5% or 95%, or stop oscillating (0% or 100% duty cycle), depending on the version.
GND (Pin 5/Pin 2): Ground. Tie to a low inductance ground
plane for best performance.
OUT (Pin 6/Pin 6): Oscillator Output. The OUT pin swings
from GND to V+ with an output resistance of approximately
30Ω. The duty cycle is determined by the voltage on the
MOD pin. When driving an LED or other low-impedance
load a series output resistor should be used to limit the
source/sink current to 20mA.

Operation
The LTC6992 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 =
= 1MHz • 50k • 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:
1
1MHz • 50k
fMASTER =

tMASTER
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 LTC6992.
RSET may range from 50k to 800k (equivalent to ISET
between 1.25μA and 20μA).
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 LTC6992:
1. DIVCODE determines the output frequency divider setting, NDIV.
2. DIVCODE determines the output polarity, via the POL
bit.
VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+
and GND as shown in Figure 1.

which can further divide the frequency by 1, 4, 16, 64,

Operation
Pulse Width (Duty Cycle) Modulation
Output Polarity (POL Bit)
The MOD pin is a high impedance analog input providing
direct control of the output duty cycle. The duty cycle is
proportional to the voltage applied to the MOD pin, VMOD.
VMOD

Duty Cycle = D =
−
0.8 • VSET 8
The duty cycle equation describes a proportional transfer
function, where duty cycle increases as VMOD increases.
The LTC6992 includes a POL bit (determined by the
DIVCODE as described earlier) that inverts the output
signal. This makes the duty cycle gain negative, reducing
duty cycle as VMOD increases.
The PWM duty cycle accuracy ΔD specifies that the above
equation is valid to within ±4.5% for VMOD between 0.2 •
VSET and 0.8 • VSET (12.5% to 87.5% duty cycle).
Since VSET = 1V ±30mV, the duty cycle equation may be
approximated by the following equation.
Duty Cycle = D ≅
POL = 0
D•tOUT
Duty Cycle Limits
The only difference between the four versions of the
LTC6992 is the limits, or clamps, placed on the output
duty cycle. The LTC6992-1 generates output duty cycles
ranging from 0% to 100%. At 0% or 100% the output
will stop oscillating and rest at GND or V+, respectively.

The VMOD control range is approximately 0.1V to 0.9V.

have no further affect on the duty cycle.

The LTC6992-2 will never stop oscillating, regardless of
the VMOD level. Internal clamping circuits limit its duty
cycle to a 5% to 95% range (1% to 99% guaranteed).
Therefore, its VMOD control range is 0.14 • VSET to 0.86 •
VSET (approximately 0.14V to 0.86V).
The LTC6992-3 and LTC6992-4 complete the family by
providing one-sided clamping. The LTC6992-3 allows
0% to 95% duty cycle, and the LTC6992-4 allows 5% to
100% duty cycle.

Operation
Changing DIVCODE After Start-Up
Start-Up Time
Following start-up, the A/D converter will continue
monitoring VDIV for changes. Changes to DIVCODE will
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.
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):
tDIVCODE = 16 • (∆DIVCODE + 6) • tMASTER
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.
DIV
0.5V/DIV
512µs
tSTART(TYP) = 500 • tMASTER
The output will begin oscillating after tSTART. If POL = 0
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 tOUT.
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 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.

Applications Information
Basic Operation
The simplest and most accurate method to program the
LTC6992 is to use a single resistor, RSET, between the
SET and GND pins. The design procedure is a four step
process. After choosing the proper LTC6992 version and
POL bit setting, select the NDIV value and then calculate
the value for the RSET resistor.
Alternatively, Linear Technology offers the easy to use
TimerBlox Designer tool to quickly design any LTC6992
based circuit. Download the free TimerBlox Designer
software at www.linear.com/timerblox.
Step 1: Selecting the POL Bit Setting
To minimize supply current, choose the lowest NDIV value
(generally recommended). For faster start-up or decreased
jitter, choose a higher NDIV setting. 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.
Step 4: Calculate and Select RSET
The final step is to calculate the correct value for RSET
using the following equation.
RSET =
1MHz • 50k
NDIV • fOUT
(1b)
Most applications will use POL = 0, resulting in a positive
transfer function. However, some applications may require
a negative transfer function, where increasing VMOD reduces the output duty cycle. For example, if the LTC6992
is used in a feedback loop, POL = 1 may be required to
achieve negative feedback.
Example: Design a PWM circuit that satisfies the following
requirements:
Step 2: Selecting the LTC6992 Version
• fOUT = 20kHz
The difference between the LTC6992 versions is observed at
the endpoints of the duty cycle control range. Applications
that require the output to never stop oscillating should use
the LTC6992-2. On the other hand, if the output should be
allowed to rest at GND or V+ (0% or 100% duty cycle),
select the LTC6992-1.
• Positive VMOD to duty cycle response
• Minimum power consumption
The LTC6992-3 and LTC6992-4 clamp the duty cycle at
only one end of the control range, allowing the output to
stop oscillating at the other extreme. If POL = 1 the clamp
will swap from low duty cycle to high, or vice-versa. Refer
to Table 2 and Figure 4 for assistance in selecting the
proper version.
Step 2: Selecting the LTC6992 Version
Step 3: Selecting 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 frequency, NDIV should be
selected to be within the following range.
1MHz
62.5kHz
≤ NDIV ≤
fOUT
fOUT
(1a)
Select the standard resistor value closest to the calculated
value.
• Output can reach 100% duty cycle, but not 0%
Step 1: Selecting the POL Bit Setting
For positive transfer function (duty cycle increases with
VMOD), choose POL = 0.
To limit the minimum duty cycle, but allow the maximum
duty cycle to reach 100%, choose LTC6992-4. (Note that
if POL = 1 the LTC6992-3 would be the correct choice.)
Step 3: Selecting the NDIV Frequency Divider Value
Choose an NDIV value that meets the requirements of
Equation (1a).
3.125 ≤ NDIV ≤ 50
Potential settings for NDIV include 4 and 16. NDIV = 4 is
the best choice, as it minimizes supply current by us69921234fc

LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4
applications information
Step 4: Select RSET
Calculate the correct value for RSET using Equation (1b).
RSET =
1MHz • 50k
= 625k
4 • 20kHz
Since 625k is not available as a standard 1% resistor,
substitute 619k if a 0.97% frequency shift is acceptable.
Otherwise, select a parallel or series pair of resistors such
as 309k and 316k to attain a more precise resistance.
The completed design is shown in Figure 7.

Figure 8 demonstrates the worst-case impact of this variation (if VSET is at its 0.97V or 1.03V limits).
This error is in addition to the inherent PWM duty cycle
accuracy spec ΔD (±4.5%), so care should be taken if
accuracy at high duty cycles (VMOD near 0.9V) is critical.
Sensitivity to ΔVSET can be eliminated by making VMOD
proportional to VSET. For example, Figure 9 shows a simple
circuit for generating an arbitrary duty cycle. The equation

The output duty cycle is proportional to the ratio of VMOD/

ΔVSET is added to the equation.

maximum of 3.4% if ΔVSET = –30mV.

ISET Extremes (Master Oscillator Frequency Extremes)
Pulse Width Modulation Bandwidth and Settling Time
When operating with ISET outside of the recommended
1.25μA to 20μA range, the master oscillator operates
outside of the 62.5kHz to 1MHz range in which it is most
accurate.
The LTC6992 has a wide PWM bandwith, making it suitable
for a variety of feedback applications. Figure 10 shows that
the frequency response is flat for modulation frequencies
up to nearly 1/10 of the output frequency. Beyond that
point, some peaking may occur (depending on NDIV and
average duty cycle setting).
The oscillator will 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
while 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.
Duty cycle settling time depends on the master oscillator
frequency. Following a ±80mV step change in VMOD, the
duty cycle takes approximately eight master clock cycles
(8 • tMASTER) to settle to within 1% of the final value.
Examples are shown in Figures 11a and 11b.

Supply Bypassing and PCB Layout Guidelines
The LTC6992 is a 2.4% 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 14 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 LTC6992. 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.
2. Place all passive components on the top side of the
board. This minimizes trace inductance.
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.
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.
6. Place R1 and R2 close to the DIV pin. A direct, short
connection to the DIV pin minimizes the external signal
coupling.

NOTES
1. WHEN THE NMOSFET IS OFF, THE FREQUENCY IS SET BY RSET = RSET1.
2. WHEN THE NMOSFET IS ON, THE FREQUENCY IS SET BY RSET = RSET1 || RSET2.
3. V+ SUPPLY VARIATION IS NOT A FACTOR AS THE SWITCHING RESISTOR IS
EITHER FLOATING OR CONNECTED TO GROUND.
NOTES
WHILE THIS CIRCUIT IS SIMPLER THAN THE CIRCUIT TO THE RIGHT,
ITS FREQUENCY ACCURACY IS WORSE DUE TO THE EFFECT OF
V+ SUPPLY VARIATION FROM SYSTEM TO SYSTEM AND OVER TEMPERATURE.
