The DS4026 is a temperature-compensated crystal
oscillator (TCXO) that provides ±1ppm frequency stability over the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature
range. Each device is factory calibrated over temperature to achieve the ±1ppm frequency stability. Standard
frequencies for the device include 12.8, 19.44, 20.0,
38.88, 40.0, and 51.84MHz. Contact the factory for custom frequencies.
The DS4026 provides excellent phase-noise characteristics. The output is a push-pull CMOS square wave with
symmetrical rise and fall times. In addition, the DS4026 is
designed to provide a maximum frequency deviation of
less than ±4.6ppm over 10 years. The device also provides an I2C interface to allow pushing and pulling of the
output frequency by a minimum of ±8ppm (±5ppm for
10MHz) with typical 1ppb resolution.
The DS4026 implements a temperature-to-voltage conversion with a nonlinear relationship. The output from the
temperature-to-voltage converter is used to drive the voltage-controlled crystal oscillator to compensate for frequency change.
The device implements an on-chip temperature sensor
lookup table, and a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) to
adjust the frequency. An I2C interface used to communicate with the DS4026 performs temperature readings and
frequency push-pull.

The DS4026 is a TCXO capable of operating at 3.3V
±5%, and it allows digital tuning of the fundamental frequency. The device is calibrated in the factory to
achieve an accuracy of ±1ppm over the industrial temperature range, and its minimum pullability is ±8ppm
with a typical resolution of 1ppb (typ) per LSB.
The DS4026 contains the following blocks:
• Oscillator block with variable capacitor for compensation
• Output driver block
• Temperature sensor
• Controller to read the temperature, control lookup
table, and adjust the DAC input
• DAC output to adjust the capacitive load
•I

C interface to communicate with the chip
The oscillator block consists of an amplifier and variable
capacitor in a Pierce crystal oscillator with a crystal resonator of fundamental mode. The oscillator amplifier is a
single transistor amplifier and its transconductance is
temperature compensated. The variable capacitor is
adjusted by the DAC to provide temperature compensation. With the FTUNEH and FTUNEL registers, a minimum
pullability of ±8ppm (±5ppm for 10MHz) is achieved with
a typical resolution of 1ppb (typ) per LSB.

DS4026
The output driver is a CMOS square-wave output with
symmetrical rise and fall time.
The temperature sensor provides a 12-bit temperature
reading with a resolution of 0.0625°C. The sensor is in
continuous conversion mode. If DCOMP is set, conversions continue but temperature updates are inhibited.
The controller coordinates the conversion of temperature into digital codes. When the temperature reading is
different from the previous one or the frequency tuning
register is changed, the controller looks up the two corresponding capacitance trim codes from the lookup
table at a 0.5°C increment. The trim codes are interpolated to 0.0625°C resolution.
The result is added with the tuning value from the frequency tuning register and loaded into the DAC registers to adjust voltage output. The monotonic DAC
provides an analog voltage based on temperature
compensation to drive the variable capacitor.
The DS4026 operates as a slave device on the serial
bus. Access is obtained by implementing a START
condition and providing a device identification code followed by data. Subsequent registers can be accessed
sequentially until a STOP condition is executed.
Address Map
Disable Compensation Update (DCOMP)
DCOMP is bit 7 of the frequency tuning register (see
the
Frequency Tuning Register (00h–01h), POR = 00h
table). When set to logic 1, this bit’s temperature-compensation function is disabled. This disabling prevents
the variable capacitor in the oscillator block from
changing. However, the temperature register still performs temperature conversions. The temperature trim
code from the last temperature conversion before
DCOMP is enabled is used for temperature compensation. The FTUNE registers are still functional when
DCOMP is disabled.
The frequency tuning registers adjust the base frequency. The frequency tuning value is represented in two’s
complement data. Bit 6 of FTUNEH is the sign, bit 5 is
the MSB, and bit 0 of FTUNEL is the LSB (see Table 1).
When the tuning register low (01h) is programmed with
a value, the next temperature update cycle sums the
programmed value with the factory compensated
value. This allows the user to digitally control the base
frequency using the I
2
C protocol.
These frequency tuning register bits allow the tuning of
the base frequency. Each bit typically represents
about 1ppb (typ). For FTUNEH = 3Fh and FTUNEL =
FFh, the device pushes the base frequency by approximately +15ppm.
table), temperature is represented
as a 12-bit code and is accessible at location 02h and
03h. The upper 8 bits are at location 02h and the lower
4 bits are in the upper nibble of the byte at location
03h. Upon power reset, the registers are set to a +25°C
default temperature and the controller starts a temperature conversion. The temperature register stores new
temperature readings.
The current temperature is loaded into the (user) temperature registers when a valid I2C slave address and
write is received and when a word address is received.
Consequently, if the two temperature registers are read
in individual I2C transactions, it is possible for a temperature conversion to occur between reads, and the
results can be inaccurate. To prevent this from occurring, the registers should be read using a single, multibyte read operation (Figure 5). I2C reads do not affect
the internal temperature registers.
I2C Serial Data Bus
The DS4026 supports a bidirectional I2C bus and data
transmission protocol. A device that sends data onto
the bus is defined as a transmitter and a device receiving data is defined as a receiver. The device that controls the message is called a master. The devices that
are controlled by the master are slaves. The bus must
be controlled by a master device that generates the
serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions. The DS4026
operates as a slave on the I2C bus. Connections to the
bus are made through the open-drain I/O lines SDA
and SCL. Within the bus specifications, a standard
mode (100kHz maximum clock rate) and a fast mode
(400kHz maximum clock rate) are defined. The DS4026
works in both modes.
The following bus protocol has been defined (Figure 3):
• Data transfer can be initiated only when the bus is
not busy.
• During data transfer, the data line must remain stable
whenever the clock line is high. Changes in the data
line while the clock line is high are interpreted as
control signals.
Accordingly, the following bus conditions have been
defined:
Bus not busy: Both data and clock lines remain
high.
Start data transfer: A change in the state of the data
line from high to low, while the clock line is high,
defines a START condition.
Stop data transfer: A change in the state of the data
line from low to high, while the clock line is high,
defines a STOP condition.
Data valid: The state of the data line represents valid
data when, after a START condition, the data line is
stable for the duration of the high period of the clock
signal. The data on the line must be changed during
the low period of the clock signal. There is one clock
pulse per bit of data.
Each data transfer is initiated with a START condition
and terminated with a STOP condition. The number
of data bytes transferred between the START and the
STOP conditions is not limited, and is determined by
the master device. The information is transferred
byte-wise and each receiver acknowledges with a
ninth bit.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when
addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge
(ACK) after the reception of each byte. The master
device must generate an extra clock pulse that is
associated with this acknowledge bit.
A device that acknowledges must pull down the SDA
line during the acknowledge clock pulse in such a
way that the SDA line is stable low during the high
period of the acknowledge-related clock pulse. Of
course, setup and hold times must be taken into
account. A master must signal an end of data to the
slave by not generating an acknowledge bit on the
last byte that has been clocked out of the slave. In
this case, the slave must leave the data line high to
enable the master to generate the STOP condition.
Figures 4 and 5 detail how data transfer is accomplished on the I2C bus. Depending upon the state of
the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
Data transfer from a master transmitter to a slave
receiver. The first byte transmitted by the master is
the slave address. Next follows a number of data
bytes. The slave returns an acknowledge (ACK) bit
after each received byte.
Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master
receiver. The first byte (the slave address) is trans-
mitted by the master. The slave then returns an
acknowledge bit. Next follows a number of data
bytes transmitted by the slave to the master. The
master returns an acknowledge bit after all received
bytes other than the last byte. At the end of the last
received byte, a not acknowledge (NACK) is
returned.
The master device generates all the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer is ended with a STOP condition or with a repeated START condition. Because a repeated START
condition is also the beginning of the next serial
transfer, the bus is not released.

The DS4026 can operate in the following two modes:
Slave receiver mode (write mode): Serial data and
clock are received through SDA and SCL. After each
byte is received, an acknowledge bit is transmitted.
START and STOP conditions are recognized as the
beginning and end of a serial transfer. Address
recognition is performed by hardware after reception
of the slave address and direction bit. The slave
address byte is the first byte received after the master generates a START condition. The slave address
byte contains the 7-bit DS4026 address, which is
1000001, followed by the direction bit (R/W), which is
0 for a write. After receiving and decoding the slave
address byte, the DS4026 outputs an acknowledge
on SDA. After the DS4026 acknowledges the slave
address and write bit, the master transmits a word
address to the DS4026. This sets the register pointer
on the DS4026, with the DS4026 acknowledging the
transfer. The master can then transmit zero or more
bytes of data, with the DS4026 acknowledging each
byte received. The register pointer increments after
each data byte is transferred. The master generates
a STOP condition to terminate the data write.
Slave transmitter mode (read mode): The first byte
is received and handled as in the slave receiver
mode. However, in this mode, the direction bit indicates that the transfer direction is reversed. Serial
data is transmitted on SDA by the DS4026 while the
serial clock is input on SCL. START and STOP conditions are recognized as the beginning and end of a
serial transfer. Address recognition is performed by
hardware after reception of the slave address and
direction bit. The slave address byte is the first byte
received after the master generates a START condition. The slave address byte contains the 7-bit
DS4026 address, which is 1000001, followed by the
direction bit (R/W), which is 1 for a read. After receiving and decoding the slave address byte, the
DS4026 outputs an acknowledge on SDA. The
DS4026 then begins to transmit data starting with the
register address pointed to by the register pointer. If
the register pointer is not written to before the initiation of a read mode, the first address that is read is
the last one stored in the register pointer. The
DS4026 must receive a not acknowledge to end a
read.
