OPERATION
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/
LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4
The LTC6992 is built around a master oscillator with a
1MHz maximum frequency. The oscillator is controlled
by the SET pin current (I
1MHz • 50k conversion factor that is accurate to ±0.8%
under typical conditions.
A feedback loop maintains V
as the primary means of controlling the output frequency.
The simplest way to generate I
(R
The master oscillator equation reduces to:
From this equation, it is clear that V

between 1.25μA and 20μA).
The LTC6992 includes a programmable frequency divider
which can further divide the frequency by 1, 4, 16, 64,
256, 1024, 4096 or 16384 before driving the OUT pin.

DIVCODE
The DIV pin connects to an internal, V
converter that determines the DIVCODE value. DIVCODE
programs two settings on the LTC6992:
1. DIVCODE determines the output frequency divider set-
2. DIVCODE determines the output polarity, via the POL
