DS1090U-2/V+ (MAXIM INTEGRATED PRODUCTS)

The DS1090U-2/V+ from Maxim Integrated Products is a low-frequency, spread-spectrum EconOscillator in 8 pin µMAX package. It is intended to be used as an external clock for switched-mode power supplies and other low-frequency applications. The dithering or sweeping function reduces peak-radiated emissions from the power supply at its fundamental frequency as well as harmonic frequencies. The device consists of four basic circuit blocks such as resistor-programmed master oscillator, factory-programmed clock prescaler, a pin-programmed dither circuit and the voltage-bias circuit that provides the feedback path to the master oscillator for frequency control and dithering functions. The DS1090 to be used in applications where a spread-spectrum clock is desired to reduce radiated emissions. A combination of factory-set prescalers and external resistor allows for output frequencies ranging from 2MHz to 4MHz. Both dither frequency and dither percentage are set using control pins.
