LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF

Clock/Timing - Delay Lines

The LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF is a high-speed programmable clock divider and delay line IC from Linear Technology. It can be used to accurately divide or multiple a clock signal and time-delay a single clock or multiplexed clock. It features a maximum toggle frequency of 530MHz and a wide supply voltage range from 1.8 to 5 volts, making it suited for a range of applications.

Application Field of LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF

The LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF can be used in a range of applications, most typically in consumer electronics, automotive and data communications systems. It is well suited for applications such as antenna and modem synchronization, precision timing and serial port buffering. It can also be used to generate a reference clock for synchronous logic data capture and transfer.

Working Principle of LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF

At its core, the LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF works by multiplying or dividing an incoming clock signal. This is done by a process known as frequency multiplication and division. When frequency multiplication is being done, the LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF takes an incoming clock signal and increases its frequency by a factor of two, four or eight. In contrast, frequency division takes an incoming clock signal and reduces its frequency by exactly the same factor.

The LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF also features an integrated programmable delay line. This allows for precise time-delay with the ability to precisely adjust the delay up or down in increments of approximately 5ns or below. This is done with the LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF’s two control pins, which can be used to adjust the delay as long as the delay line length is less than 2.5us.

The LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF also features an integrated reference clock generator, which produces a reference clock oscillation. This reference clock frequency can be adjusted using an external resistor or capacitor, allowing for precise adjustment of the output clock frequency.

In conclusion, the LTC6994HS6-2#TRMPBF is a versatile, high-speed programmable clock divider and delay line for a range of applications. It is well suited for use in consumer electronics, automotive and data communications systems, providing accurate frequency multiplication and division, as well as integrated programmable delay line and reference clock generator.
