Table 1. Output Frequency Range vs OCT Settling
(Frequency Resolution 0.001 • f)
For example, to set a frequency of 6.5MHz, first look
at Table 1 to find an OCT value. 6.5MHz falls between
4.25MHz and 8.5MHz yielding an OCT value of 12 or 1100.
Substituting the OCT value of 12 and the desired frequency
of 6.5MHz into the previous equation results in:
Rounding 707.113 to the nearest integer yields a DAC value
of 707 (or a 10-bit digital word of 1011000011.)
Power-Up State
When power is first applied to the LTC6903/LTC6904, all
register values are automatically reset to 0. This results in an
output frequency of 1.039kHz with both outputs active.
Output Spectrum
In most frequency ranges, the output of the LTC6903/
LTC6904 is generated as a division of the higher internal
applicaTions inFormaTion

clock frequency. This helps to minimize jitter and sub-
harmonics at the output of the device. In the highest
frequency ranges, the division ratio is reduced, which
will result in greater cycle-to-cycle jitter as well as spurs
at the internal sampling frequency. Because the internal
control loop runs at 1MHz to 2MHz without regard to the
output frequency, output spurs separated from the set
frequency by 1MHz to 2MHz may be observed. These
spurs are characteristically more than 30dB below the
level of the set frequency.
Frequency Settling
When frequency settings change, the settling time and
shape differ depending on which bits are changed. Changing
only the OCT bits will result in an instantaneous change
in frequency for OCT values below 10. Values of 10 and
above may take up to 100µs to settle due to the action of
internal power conservation circuitry.
Changing the DAC bits will result in a smooth transition
between the frequencies, occupying at most 100µs, with
little overshoot.
Changing both the OCT and DAC bits simultaneously may
result in considerable excursion beyond the frequencies
requested before settling.
It should be noted that changing the DAC bits at the lower
frequency ranges will result in a seemingly instantaneous
frequency change because the settling time depends on the
internal loop frequency rather than the set frequency.
Power Supply Bypass
In order to obtain the accuracies represented in this data
sheet, it is necessary to provide excellent bypass on the
power supply. Adequate bypass is a 1µF capacitor in
parallel with a 0.01µF capacitor connected within a few
millimeters of the power supply leads.
Monotonicity and Linearity
The DAC in the LTC6903/LTC6904 is guaranteed to be 10-bit
monotonic. Nonlinearity of the DAC is less than 1%.
