Resistor Set SOT-23 Oscillator
The LTC1799 is a precision oscillator that is easy to use
and occupies very little PC board space. The oscillator
frequency is programmed by a single external resistor
(RSET). The LTC1799 has been designed for high accuracy
operation (≤1.5% frequency error) without the need for
external trim components.
The LTC1799 operates with a single 2.7V to 5.5V power
supply and provides a rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square
wave output. The CMOS output driver ensures fast rise/
fall times and rail-to-rail switching. The frequency-setting
resistor can vary from 3k to 1M to select a master oscil-
lator frequency between 100kHz and 33MHz (5V supply).
The three-state DIV input determines whether the master
clock is divided by 1, 10 or 100 before driving the out-
put, providing three frequency ranges spanning 1kHz to
33MHz (5V supply). The LTC1799 features a proprietary
feedbackloopthatlinearizestherelationshipbetweenRSET
and frequency, eliminating the need for tables to calculate
frequency. The oscillator can be easily programmed using
the simple formula outlined below:
