LTC6991 TimerBlox: Resettable, Low Frequency Oscillator FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Period Range: 1ms to 9.5 Hours The LTC®6991 is a silicon oscillator with a program- n Configured with 1 to 3 Resistors mable period range of 1.024ms to 9.54 hours (29.1µHz n <1.5% Maximum Frequency Error to 977Hz), specifically intended for long duration timing n Output Reset Function events. The LTC6991 is part of the TimerBlox® family of n 2.25V to 5.5V Single Supply Operation versatile silicon timing devices. n 55µA to 80µA Supply Current A single resistor, R n SET , programs the LTC6991’s inter- (2ms to 9.5hr Clock Period) nal master oscillator frequency. The output clock period n 500µs Start-Up Time is determined by this master oscillator and an internal n CMOS Output Driver Sources/Sinks 20mA frequency divider, N n DIV , programmable to eight settings –55°C to 125°C Operating Temperature Range from 1 to 221. n Available in Low Profile (1mm) SOT-23 (ThinSOT™) and 2mm × 3mm DFN Packages t NDIV •RSET OUT = • 1.024ms, NDIV = 1,8,64,...,221 50kΩ APPLICATIONS In normal operation, the LTC6991 oscillates with a 50% n duty cycle. A reset function is provided to truncate the “Heartbeat” Timers n pulse (reducing the duty cycle). The reset pin can also be Watchdog Timers n used to prevent the output from oscillating. Intervalometers n Periodic “Wake-Up” Call The RST and OUT pins can be configured for active-low n High Vibration, High Acceleration Environments or active-high operation using a polarity function. n Portable and Battery-Powered Equipment POL BITRST PINOUTPUT STATE All registered trademarks and trademarks are the property of their respective owners. 0 0 Oscillating 0 1 0 (reset) 1 0 1 (reset) 1 1 Oscillating For easy configuration of the LTC6991, download the TimerBlox Designer tool at www.linear.com/timerblox.
