APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO

START-UP TIME

The start-up and settling time to within 1% of the final

frequency is typically 100µs.

MAXIMUM OUTPUT LOAD

The LTC6905 output (Pin 5) can drive a capacitive load

greater than 5pF depends on the oscillator’s frequency

total output rise time plus fall time is arbitrarily specified

to be equal to or less than 20% of the oscillator’s period (1/

than [45454/(27 • 50)] = 33.6pF.

The lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive can be calculated

using the minimum high level output voltage in the Elec-

output current, the minimum high level output voltage is

5.2V and the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 1.30k

current, the minimum high level output voltage is 2.4V and

the lowest resistive load Pin 5 can drive is 600Ω(2.4V/4mA).

FREQUENCY ACCURACY AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE

The frequency accuracy of the LTC6905 may be affected

when its power supply generates noise with frequency

highest frequency for an LTC6905-XXX which is with

is the master oscillator control loop frequency. For ex-

ample, if the LTC6905-80 with a master oscillator fre-

quency of 80MHz is powered by a switching regulator,

then the oscillator frequency may show an additional

error if the switching frequency is 1.4MHz (80MHz/64).

The magnitude of this effect is heavily dependent on

supply bypass and routing.

JITTER AND POWER SUPPLY NOISE

If the LTC6905 is powered by a supply that has frequency

content equal to the output frequency then the output jitter

may increase. In addition, power supply ripple in excess of

20mV at any frequency may increase jitter.

Higher divide ratios will result in lower percentage jitter.

For example, jitter percentage of the LTC6905-80 operat-

ing at 20MHz is lower than for the same part operating at

80MHz. Please consult the Jitter vs Frequency graph

showing jitter at various divider ratios.

LTC6905 SUGGESTED CRITICAL COMPONENT

LAYOUT

In order to provide the specified performance, it is re-

quired that the supply bypass capacitor be placed as close

as possible to the LTC6905. The following additional rules

should be followed for best performance:

1) The bypass capacitor must be placed as close as

possible to the LTC6905, and no vias should be placed

between the capacitor and the LTC6905. The bypass

capacitor must be on the same side of the circuit board

as the LTC6905.

2) If a ground plane is used, the connection of the LTC6905

to the ground plane should be as close as possible to the

LTC6905 GND pin and should be composed of multiple,

high current capacity vias.
