A block diagram of the DS1086L is shown in Figure 3.
The internal master oscillator generates a square wave
with a 33.3MHz to 66.6MHz frequency range. The fre-
quency of the master oscillator can be programmed
with the DAC register over a two-to-one range in 5kHz
steps. The master oscillator range is larger than the
range possible with the DAC step size, so the OFFSET
register is used to select a smaller range of frequencies
over which the DAC spans. The prescaler can then be
set to divide the master oscillator frequency by 2
(where x equals 0 to 8) before routing the signal to the
output (OUT) pin.
A programmable triangle-wave generator injects an off-
set element into the master oscillator to dither its output
0.5%, 1%, 2%, 4%, or 8%. The dither magnitude is con-
trolled by the JS2, JS1, and JS0 bits in the PRESCALER
word and enabled with the SPRD pin. Futhermore, the
dither rate is controlled by the JS4 and JS3 bits in the
PRESCALER word and determines the frequency of the
dither. The maximum spectral attenuation occurs when
the prescaler is set to 1 and is reduced by 2.7dB for
every factor of 2 that is used in the prescaler. This hap-

pens because the prescaler’s divider function tends to
average the dither in creating the lower frequency.
However, the most stringent spectral emission limits are
imposed on the higher frequencies where the prescaler
is set to a low divider ratio.
The external control input, OE, gates the clock output
buffer. The PDN pin disables the master oscillator and
turns off the clock output for power-sensitive applica-
tions*. On power-up, the clock output is disabled until
power is stable and the master oscillator has generated
512 clock cycles. Both controls feature a synchronous
enable that ensures there are no output glitches when
the output is enabled.
The control registers are programmed through a 2-wire
interface and are used to determine the output frequen-
cy and settings. Once programmed into EEPROM,
since the register settings are NV, the settings only
need to be reprogrammed if it is desired to reconfigure
the device.
* The power-down command must persist for at least two out-
put frequency cycles plus 10µs for deglitching purposes.
