General Description
The DS1091L is a low-cost clock generator that is factory-
trimmed to output frequencies from 130kHz to 66.6MHz
with a nominal accuracy of 0.25%. The device can also
produce a center- or down-dithered spread-spectrum
output with pin-selectable dither magnitude and rate.
Assembled in an 8-pin MAX package, the DS1091L is
designed to operate with a 3.0V to 3.6V power supply
over the automotive temperature range (-40C to
+125C).

Detailed Description
The DS1091L is a clock generator that is capable of
output frequencies from 130kHz to 66.6MHz over the
full automotive temperature range (-40C to +125C).
The device also is capable of producing a spread-
spectrum (dithered) square-wave output using four pin-
selectable dither percentages. Both center (DS1091LA)
and down (DS1091LB) dithering options are available.
The device also features two selectable dither rates.
The DS1091L is shipped from the factory programmed
to a customer-specified frequency.
Spread Spectrum
The DS1091L has the ability to reduce radiated emis-
sion peaks. The dither percentage is controlled by the
state of the SEL0 and SEL1 pins. The output frequency
can be dithered at 0%, 1%, 2%, and 4%, centered
around the programmed frequency (for the DS1091LB
this can be down dithered by 0%, -2%, -4%, and -8%).
The two select pins SEL0 and SEL1 provide a means of
selecting the dither magnitudes as follows:
A triangle wave generator injects a control signal into
the master oscillator to dither its output. The dither rate
is a function of the output frequency, f
OUT
as well as the
setting of the DR pin (see the equation below). Figure 1
shows a plot of the output frequency versus time.
where n is defined in Table 2 as a function of output fre-
quency. For example, for an output frequency of
27.0MHz, the dither rate would be 13.2kHz for DR = 0
and 6.6kHz for DR = 1.
