The LTC®6995 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
LTC6995 is part of the TimerBlox® family of versatile
silicon timing devices.
n
n
A single resistor, RSET , programs the LTC6995’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
When oscillating, the LTC6995 generates a 50% duty
cycle square wave output. A reset function is provided
to stop the master oscillator and clear internal dividers.
Removing reset initiates a full output clock cycle which
is useful for programmable power on reset and watchdog
timer applications.

The LTC6995 has two versions of reset functionality. The
reset input is active high for the LTC6995-1 and active low
for the LTC6995-2. The polarity of the output when reset
is selectable for both versions.

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 LTC6995C is guaranteed functional over the operating
temperature range of –40°C to 85°C.
Note 3: The LTC6995C is guaranteed to meet specified performance from
0°C to 70°C. The LTC6995C 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 LTC6995I is guaranteed to meet
specified performance from –40°C to 85°C. The LTC6995H is guaranteed
to meet specified performance from –40°C to 125°C. The LTC6995MP 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.

Pin Functions

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. An internal A/D converter (referenced to V+) 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 OUT pin.
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

Operation
The LTC6995 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

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 LTC6995:
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.

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 ∆fOUT of the LTC6995.
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 LTC6995 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.

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:
with RSET in place of VSET/ISET the equation reduces to:
tOUT =
R1

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.

Reset and Polarity Bit Functions
The Reset input, RST for the LTC6995-1 and RST for the
LTC6995-2, forces the output to a fixed state and resets
the internal clock dividers. The output state when reset is

DIVCODE setting.

Operation
Changing DIVCODE After Start-Up
Following start-up, the A/D converter will continue monitoring VDIV for changes. The LTC6995 will respond to
DIVCODE changes in less than one cycle.
tDIVCODE < 500 • tMASTER < tOUT
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.
Start-Up Time
When power is first applied, the power-on reset (POR)
circuit will initiate the start-up time, tSTART . A supply
voltage of typically 1.4V (1.2V to 1.5V over temperature)
initiates the start-up sequence. 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.
The start-up time may increase if the supply or DIV pin
DIV
200mV/DIV
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
When first powered up, the output is held low. If the polarity
is set for non-inversion (POL = 0) and the output is enabled
at the end of the start-up time, OUT will begin oscillating.
If the output is being reset (RST = 1 for LTC6995-1 and
RST = 0 for LTC6995-2) at the end of the start-up time,
it will remain low due to the POL bit = 0. When reset is
released the oscillator starts and the output remains low
for precisely one half cycle of the programmed period.
In inverted operation (POL = 1), the start-up sequence is
similar. However, the LTC6995 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 the output is being reset (RST = 1 for LTC6995-1 and
RST = 0 for LTC6995-2) at the end of the start-up time,
it will remain high due to the POL bit = 1. When reset is
released the oscillator starts and the output remains high
for precisely one half cycle of the programmed period.
Figures 7 to 10 detail the possible start-up sequences.

LTC6995-1/LTC6995-2
Applications Information
Basic Operation
The simplest and most accurate method to program the
LTC6995 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.
Step 1: Select the LTC6995 Version and POL Bit Setting
Determine if the application requires an active-high,
LTC6995-1 or active-low, LTC6995-2 reset function.
Otherwise the two versions share identical functionality.
The OUT pin polarity depends on the setting of the POL
bit. To force OUT = 0 during reset, choose POL bit = 0. To
force OUT = 1 during reset, choose POL bit = 1.
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
1.024ms 16.384ms
(1)
Example: Design a 1Hz oscillator with minimum power
consumption, an active-high reset input, and the OUT pin
low during reset.
Step 1: Select the LTC6995 Version and POL Bit Setting
For active-high reset select the LTC6995-1. For OUT low
during reset choose POL bit = 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
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.
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.
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.
The completed design is shown in Figure 11.

Applications Information
Power-On Reset (POR) Function
When power is applied to the LTC6995 the output is held
low for tSTART, then takes on the value of the POL bit as the
clock cycle begins. If POL = 0 (DIVCODE < 8) the output
will remain low for a programmable interval of tSTART +
1/2 tOUT, assuming the RST pin is inactive. This makes the
LTC6995 useful as a programmable long-time power-on
reset (POR), with the low output used to hold a system
in reset for a fixed period after power is applied. Timing
begins when the V+ supply exceeds approximately 1.4V.

To prevent additional output transitions after the initial POR
time, the oscillator can be disabled by removing the SET
pin current. This prevents the internal master oscillator
output from clocking the frequency dividers or output,
while keeping it biased so it can resume operation quickly.
The easiest way to implement this feature is to connect
RSET between the SET and OUT pins.

Figure 12. Active Low Power-On Reset
(1 Second Interval Example)
Figure 12 shows the basic power-on reset function. When
the half cycle times out, the output goes high, eliminates
the SET pin current, and stops additional OUT pin transitions. The output remains high until the device is reset by
driving the RST input or power is cycled off then back on.
The POR interval is only one half of an oscillator period so
component selection is slightly different. Table 2 provides
the component values required for one half cycle time
intervals. Timing starts after a short startup delay time
following the application of the V+ supply.

LTC6995-1/LTC6995-2
Applications Information
For shorter power on reset times (1ms to 73ms) the timer
startup delay becomes a significant part of the total POR
time. To take this delay into account the value for RSET can
be modified from the values shown in Table 2. For a POR
time in the range from 1ms to 16ms (DIVCODE = 0), RSET
should be tPOR(ms) • 49.5. For a POR time in the range
from 4.5ms to 73ms (DIVCODE = 1), RSET is tPOR(ms) •
10.9. For longer POR times (DIVCODE 2 through 7) the
startup time is insignificant. After power on, the delay following a reset condition will be in the same range as shown
for tDELAY in Table 2 for these two DIVCODE selections.
For short POR times, a more precise estimation of the
startup time can be found from the following:
tSTART (µs) = ( 256 + 16 • (12 – DIVCODE))
RSET (kΩ)
50
+80
Supply bounce resets the internal timer so the POR circuit
automatically debounces supply noise. POR timing starts
from the time that the V+ supply has reached approximately
1.4 volts.
Long Timer One Shots and Delay Generators
The POR circuit of Figure 12 is also useful when the reset
inputs are driven. This creates edge triggered timing events
that are active low and can either be re-triggered or can
stop after one programmed interval. The programmed
time interval can range from only 500µs to over 4 hours
with just resistor value changes.
The circuits in Figure 13 show how a POR or active low
interval can be re-started to provide a full system reset time.
The Figure 14 circuit requires an indication from the
system being reset that it is ready before timing out. The
LTC6995-2 can accommodate an active high OK signal.
By forcing a reset condition at power on the LTC6995 can
be used to create a long time delayed rising edge triggered
by either a falling edge signal (LTC6995-1) or a rising edge
signal (LTC6995-2) as show in Figure 15.

Applications Information
Watchdog Timers
Using the same circuits as shown in Figure 15 with periodic pulsing of the reset input can create an effective
watchdog timer. A watchdog pulse is required from a
system within each timing interval. The watchdog timeout
interval can be programmed from 500µs to 4.8 hours. If a
pulse is missed the output goes high to indicate that the
system software may be caught in an infinite loop. This
high level can be used to initiate software diagnostic or
restart procedures. The LTC6995 internal clock stops and
the output remains high until the software recovers and
returns to issuing watchdog pulses. Figure 16 shows the
timing for this application.
Watchdog timers are used to detect if a system operating
software is diverted from the designed program sequence
for any reason. It is always a possibility that the software
could get stuck in a way that keeps the watchdog pulse in
the state that holds the timer in the reset so it can never
time out. In this condition the watchdog timer is ineffective
and will never force corrective action. To help to prevent
this a second one shot can be used to reset the watchdog
timer as shown in Figure 17.

Applications Information
Gated Oscillators
The reset input (RST) clears all internal dividers so that,
when released, the output will start clocking with a full
programmed period. This edge can be used to gate the
output ON and OFF at a known starting point for the clock.
Circuits which count clock cycles for further timing purposes will always have an accurate count of full cycles
until reset. The output clock is always at 50% duty cycle
and the period of each cycle can range from 1ms to 9.5
hours. Depending on the polarity bit selection the output
clock can start high or low as shown in Figure 18.
Self-Resetting Circuits
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
Voltage vs Supply Voltage curve in Typical Performance
Characteristics). This allows an RC time constant at the
RST input to generate a delay that is nearly independent
of the supply voltage.
A simple application of this technique allows the LTC6995
output to reset itself, producing a well-controlled pulse
once each cycle. Figures 19a and 19b show circuits that
produce approximately 1µs pulses once a minute. The only
difference is the version of LTC6995 used and the POL
bit setting, which controls whether the pulse is positive
or negative.
Voltage Controlled Frequency
With one additional resistor, the LTC6995 output frequency
can be manipulated by an external voltage. As shown in
Figure 20, voltage VCTRL sources/sinks a current through
RVCO to vary the ISET current, which in turn modulates the
output frequency as described in Equation (3).

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 21. 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.

ISET Extremes (Master Oscillator Frequency Extremes)
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 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 LTC6995 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 LTC6995 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 22 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 LTC6995. 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.
