DESCRIPTIO
FEATURES
The LTC®6908 is an easy-to-use precision oscillator that
provides 2-outputs, shifted by either 180° or 90°. The
oscillator frequency is programmed by a single external

The LTC6908 operates with a single 2.7V to 5.5V supply
and provides rail-to-rail, 50% duty cycle square wave
outputs. A single resistor from 10k to 2M is used to select
anoscillatorfrequencyfrom50kHzto10MHz(5Vsupply).
The oscillator can be easily programmed using the simple

The LTC6908’s SSFM capability modulates the output
frequency by a pseudorandom noise (PRN) signal to
decrease the peak electromagnetic radiation level and
improve EMC performance. The amount of frequency
spreading is fixed at 10% of the center frequency. When
SSFM is enabled, the rate of modulation is selected by the
