The LTC®6993 is a monostable multivibrator (also known
as a “one-shot” pulse generator) with a programmable
pulse width of 1µs to 33.6 seconds. The LTC6993 is part
of the TimerBlox® family of versatile silicon timing devices.
A single resistor, RSET, programs an internal master oscillator frequency, setting the LTC6993’s time base. The
output pulse width is determined by this master oscillator
and an internal clock divider, NDIV , programmable to eight
settings from 1 to 221.
tOUT =
NDIV •RSET
•1µs, NDIV = 1, 8, 64,...,221
50kΩ
The output pulse is initiated by a transition on the trigger
input (TRIG). Each part can be configured to generate positive or negative output pulses. The LTC6993 is available
in four versions to provide different trigger signal polarity
and retrigger capability.

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 LTC6993C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: The LTC6993C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6993C 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 LTC6993I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6993H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC6993MP is
guaranteed to meet specified performance from –55°C to 125°C.
Note 4: Pulse width accuracy is defined as the deviation from the tOUT
equation, assuming RSET is used to program the pulse width.
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.
V+ = 3.3V
V+ = 3.3V
Note 6: The TRIG 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:
VTRIG(RISING) ≈ 0.55 • V+ + 185mV and
VTRIG(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 pulse width after a 0.5× or 2× change in ISET .
Note 10: Jitter is the ratio of the deviation of the output pulse width to the
mean of the pulse width. This specification is based on characterization
and is not 100% tested.

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.
tolerance and 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. 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 the polarity of the OUT pins.
When POL = 0 the output produces a positive pulse. When
POL = 1 the output produces a negative pulse.
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): Pulse Width 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 pulse will continue
indefinitely if ISET drops below approximately 500nA,
and will terminate when ISET increases again. A resistor
connected between SET and GND is the most accurate
way to set the pulse width. For best performance, use
a precision metal or thin film resistor of 0.5% or better
TRIG (Pin 4/Pin 1): Trigger Input. Depending on the version, a rising or falling edge on TRIG will initiate the output
pulse. LTC6993-1 and LTC6993-2 are rising-edge sensitive. LTC6993-3 and LTC6993-4 are falling-edge sensitive.
The LTC6993-2 and LTC6993-4 are retriggerable, allowing
the pulse width to be extended by additional trigger signals
that occur while the output is active. The LTC6993‑1/
LTC6993-3 will ignore additional trigger inputs until the
output pulse has terminated.
GND (Pin 5/Pin 2): Ground. Tie to a low inductance ground
plane for best performance.
OUT (Pin 6/Pin 6): Output. The OUT pin swings from
GND to V+ with an output resistance of approximately
30Ω. When driving an LED or other low impedance load
a series output resistor should be used to limit source/
sink current to 20mA.

OPERATION
The LTC6993 is built around a master oscillator with a 1µs
minimum period. The oscillator is controlled by the SET
pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a 1µs/50kΩ
conversion factor that is accurate to ±1.7% under typical
conditions.
1µs VSET
tMASTER =
•
50kΩ ISET
A feedback loop maintains VSET at 1V ±30mV, leaving
ISET as the primary means of controlling the pulse width.
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:
tMASTER = 1µs •
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 LTC6993:
1. DIVCODE determines the frequency divider setting,
NDIV .
2. DIVCODE determines the polarity of OUT pin, via the
POL bit.
VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+
and GND as shown in Figure 1.
2.25V TO 5.5V
V+
RSET
50kΩ
DIV
From this equation, it is clear that VSET drift will not affect
the pulse width when using a single program resistor
(RSET). Error sources are limited to RSET tolerance and
the inherent pulse width accuracy ∆tOUT of the LTC6993.
RSET may range from 50k to 800k (equivalent to ISET
between 1.25µA and 20µA).
A trigger signal (rising or falling edge on TRIG pin) latches
the output to the active state, beginning the output pulse. At
the same time, the master oscillator is enabled to time the
duration of the output pulse. When the desired pulse width
is reached, the master oscillator resets the output latch.
The LTC6993 also includes a programmable frequency
divider which can further divide the frequency by 1, 8, 64,
512, 4096, 215, 218 or 221. This extends the pulse width
duration by those same factors. The divider ratio NDIV is
set by a resistor divider attached to the DIV pin.

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
V
+
=
DIVCODE + 0.5
± 1.5%
16
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.

OPERATION
Monostable Multivibrator (One Shot)
Negative Trigger Versions
The LTC6993 is a monostable multivibrator. A trigger
signal on the TRIG input will force the output to the active
(unstable) state for a programmable duration. This type
of circuit is commonly referred to as a one-shot pulse
generator.
In addition to the retrigger option, the LTC6993 family also
includes negative input (falling-edge) versions. These four
combinations are detailed in Table 2.
Table 2. Retrigger and Input Polarity Options
DEVICE
LTC6993-1
LTC6993-2
LTC6993-3
LTC6993-4
Figures 3 details the basic operation. A rising edge on
the TRIG pin initiates the output pulse. The pulse width
(tOUT) is determined by the NDIV setting and by the resistor (RSET) connected to the SET pin. Subsequent rising
edges on TRIG have no affect until the completion of the
one shot and for a short rearming time (tARM) thereafter.
To ensure proper operation, positive and negative TRIG
pulses should be at least tWIDTH wide.

Output Polarity (POL Bit)
Each variety of LTC6993 also offers the ability to invert
the output, producing negative pulses. This option is
programmed, along with NDIV, by the choice of DIVCODE.
(The previous section describes how to program DIVCODE
using the DIV pin).
The LTC6993-2 and LTC6993-4 allow the output pulse to
be “retriggered”. As shown in Figure 4, the output pulse
will stay high until tOUT after the last rising-edge on TRIG.
Successive trigger signals can extend the pulse width indefinitely. Consecutive trigger signals must be separated
by tRETRIG to be recognized.

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 LTC6993 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. However, if the output pulse is active during the transition, the
pulse width can take on a value between the two settings.
DIV
500mV/DIV
512µs
TRIG
2V/DIV
tSTART(TYP) = 500 • tMASTER
During start-up, the DIV pin A/D converter must determine the correct DIVCODE before an output pulse can be
generated. 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
extend the start-up time.
The DIVCODE setting is recognized at the end of the startup
up. If POL = 1, the output will transition high. Otherwise
(if POL = 0) OUT simply remains low. At this point, the
LTC6993 is ready to respond to rising/falling edges on
the TRIG input.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Basic Operation
Step 4: Calculate and Select RSET.
The simplest and most accurate method to program
the LTC6993 is to use a single resistor, RSET , between
the SET and GND pins. The design procedure is a four
step process. Alternatively, Linear Technology offers the
easy-to-use TimerBlox Designer tool to quickly design
any LTC6993 based circuit. Download the free TimerBlox
Designer software at www.linear.com/timerblox.
The final step is to calculate the correct value for RSET
using the following equation:
Step 1: Select the POL Bit Setting.
The LTC6993 can generate positive or negative output
pulses, depending on the setting of the POL bit. The POL
bit is the DIVCODE MSB, so any DIVCODE ≥ 8 has POL = 1
and produces active-low pulses.
Step 2: Select LTC6993 Version.
Two input-related choices dictate the proper LTC6993 for
a given application:
• Is TRIG a rising or falling-edge input?
50k tOUT
•
1µs NDIV
(2)
Select the standard resistor value closest to the calculated
value.
Example: Design a one-shot circuit that satisfies the following requirements:
• tOUT = 100µs
• Negative Output Pulse
• Rising-Edge Trigger Input
• Retriggerable Input
• Minimum power consumption
Step 1: Select the POL Bit Setting.
For inverted (negative) output pulse, choose POL = 1.
• Should retriggering be allowed?
Step 2: Select the LTC6993 Version.
Use Table 2 to select a particular variety of LTC6993.
A rising-edge retriggerable input requires the LTC6993‑2.
Step 3: 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 pulse width (tOUT), NDIV should
be selected to be within the following range:
tOUT
t
≤NDIV ≤ OUT
16µs
1µs
RSET =
(1)
To minimize supply current, choose the lowest NDIV value.
However, in some cases a higher value for NDIV will provide
better accuracy (see Electrical Characteristics).
Table 1 can also be used to select the appropriate NDIV
values for the desired tOUT .
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 3: Select the NDIV Frequency Divider Value.
Choose an NDIV value that meets the requirements of
Equation (1), using tOUT = 100µs:
6.25 ≤ NDIV ≤ 100
Potential settings for NDIV include 8 and 64. NDIV = 8 is
the best choice, as it minimizes supply current by using a large RSET resistor. POL = 1 and NDIV = 8 requires
DIVCODE = 14. Using Table 1, choose R1 = 102k and
R2 = 976k values to program DIVCODE = 14.
Step 4: Select RSET .
Calculate the correct value for RSET using Equation (2):

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Since 625k is not available as a standard 1% resistor,
substitute 619k if a –0.97% shift in tOUT is acceptable.
Otherwise, select a parallel or series pair of resistors such
as 309k and 316k to attain a more precise resistance.

The control voltage can be generated by a DAC (digital-toanalog converter), resulting in a digitally-controlled pulse
width. 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 9. 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 pulse width.

With one additional resistor, the LTC6993 output pulse
width can be manipulated by an external voltage. As shown
in Figure 8, voltage VCTRL sources/sinks a current through
RMOD to vary the ISET current, which in turn modulates
the pulse width as described in Equation (3).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ISET Extremes (Master Oscillator Frequency Extremes)
Coupling Error
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 current sourced by the SET pin is used to bias the
internal master oscillator. The LTC6993 responds to
changes in ISET almost immediately, which provides excellent settling time. However, this fast response also makes
the SET pin sensitive to coupling from digital signals, such
as the TRIG input.
The oscillator will still function with reduced accuracy for
ISET < 1.25µA. At approximately 500nA, the oscillator will
stop. Under this condition, the output pulse can still be
initiated, but will not terminate until ISET increases and
the master oscillator starts again.
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.
Settling Time
Following a 2× or 0.5× step change in ISET , the output
pulse width takes approximately six master clock cycles
(6 • tMASTER) to settle to within 1% of the final value. An
example is shown in Figure 10, using the circuit in Figure 8.
Even an excellent layout will allow some coupling between
TRIG and SET. Additional error is included in the specified accuracy for NDIV = 1 to account for this. Figure 11
shows that ÷1 supply variation is dependent on coupling
from rising or falling trigger inputs and, to a lesser extent,
output polarity.
A very poor layout can actually degrade performance
further. The PCB layout should avoid routing SET next to
TRIG (or any other fast-edge, wide-swing signal).

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Power Supply Current
The Electrical Characteristics table specifies the supply
current while the part is idle (waiting to be triggered).
IS(IDLE) varies with the programmed tOUT and the supply
voltage. Once triggered, the instantaneous supply current
increases to IS(ACTIVE) while the timing circuit is active.
IS(ACTIVE) = IS(IDLE) + ∆IS(ACTIVE)
The average increase in supply current ∆IS(ACTIVE) depends on the output duty cycle (or negative duty cycle,
if POL = 1), since that represents the percentage of time
that the circuit is active. IS(IDLE) and ∆IS(ACTIVE) can be
estimated using the equations in Table 2.
Figure 12 shows how the supply current increases from
IS(IDLE) as the input frequency increases. The increase is
smaller at higher NDIV settings.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Supply Bypassing and PCB Layout Guidelines
The LTC6993 is an accurate monostable multivibrator 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 13 shows example PCB layouts for both the SOT-23
and DCB packages using 0603 sized passive components.
The layouts assume a two layer board with a ground plane
layer beneath and around the LTC6993. 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 DCB package, C1’s connection to GND is
also simply done on the top layer. For the SOT-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
TRIG
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 output pulse width. 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.
