Note: The frequency range numbers are for a 5V supply where a 20MHz
output is the maximum frequency supported. For low supply applications
(2.7V V
of the above numbers should be halved.
For constant frequency applications, where SSFM is dis-
abled, the best operating position depends on which
parameter is most important in the application. For the
lowest clock jitter it is best to set the divider to its highest
setting as done above. The divider reduces the master
oscillator’s jitter. The higher the division number the
greater the reduction in the master oscillator’s jitter. For
the best frequency accuracy it is best to run the program-
mable divider at its lowest setting, and thus, the master
oscillator runs at a lower frequency. The lower master
oscillator frequencies are more accurate and use less
power. To determine a tradeoff between frequency accu-
racy and jitter consult the Typical Performance Character-
istics curves. Table 2 lists the recommended output fre-
quency range for each divider setting for continuous
frequency applications where frequency accuracy is the
primary specification.

For some applications, the multiphase circuit is also useful
in forcing the master oscillator to run at a higher or lower
frequency. If the application requires a single clock source,
the multiphase circuit can be set in whatever mode gives
the highest or lowest divider number (M) and thus the
highest or lowest master oscillator frequency. Addition-
ally, if the application requires just two phases, the 4-phase

outputs are used (or alternatively the OUT2 and OUT4
outputs).
For instance, a 500kHz, 2-phase clock can be obtained in
four different ways. Table 3 lists the possible solutions.
For an SSFM application, the preferred solution for best
EMC performance is the last alternative where the master
oscillator is at 20MHz. For a constant frequency applica-
tion, the preferred solution is the first alternative with the
master oscillator at 500kHz.

After choosing the proper divider setting, determine the
correct frequency-setting resistor. Because of the linear
correspondence between oscillation period and resis-
tance, a simple equation relates resistance with frequency.

SETTING THE SPREAD SPECTRUM MODULATION
SPREADING PERCENTAGE WITH THE LTC6902
Setting the spread spectrum modulation percentage on
the LTC6902 is very simple and straightforward. Since the
spreading is ratiometric, in percentage, the program-
mable divider and multiphase mode selection have no
influence on the spreading percentage. In general, for
greatest EMC improvement, each application should apply
as much spreading as possible. The amount of spreading
that any particular application can tolerate is dependent on
the specific nature of that application. Once the R
resistor value is calculated to set f
