The DS1086 EconOscillator™ is a programmable clock
generator that produces a spread-spectrum (dithered)
square-wave output of frequencies from 260kHz to
133MHz. The selectable dithered output reduces radiated-emission peaks by dithering the frequency 2% or
4% below the programmed frequency. The DS1086 has
a power-down mode and an output-enable control for
power-sensitive applications. All the device settings are
stored in nonvolatile (NV) EEPROM memory allowing it
to operate in stand-alone applications.
Stresses beyond those listed under “Absolute Maximum Ratings” may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings only, and functional
operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated in the operational sections of the specifications is not implied. Exposure to
absolute maximum rating conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.

Note 1:All voltages are referenced to ground.
Note 2:DAC and OFFSET register settings must be configured to maintain the master oscillator frequency within this range.
Correct operation of the device is not guaranteed if these limits are exceeded.
Note 3:This is the absolute accuracy of the master oscillator frequency at the default settings.
Note 4:This is the change that is observed in master oscillator frequency with changes in voltage from nominal voltage at

Note 5:This is the percentage frequency change from the +25°C frequency due to temperature at V

frequency (f

). The maximum occurs at the extremes of the master oscillator frequency range (66MHz or 133MHz)
(see Figure 2).
Note 6:The dither deviation of the master oscillator frequency is unidirectional and lower than the undithered frequency.
Note 7:The integral nonlinearity of the frequency adjust DAC is a measure of the deviation from a straight line drawn between the
two endpoints of a range. The error is in percentage of the span.
Note 8:This is true when the prescaler = 1.
Note 9:Frequency settles faster for small changes in value. During a change, the frequency transitions smoothly from the original
value to the new value.
Note 10: This indicates the time elapsed between power-up and the output becoming active. An on-chip delay is intentionally
introduced to allow the oscillator to stabilize. t

depends on the programmed clock frequency.
Note 11: Output voltage swings can be impaired at high frequencies combined with high output loading.
Note 12: A fast-mode device can be used in a standard-mode system, but the requirement t
SU:DAT
> 250ns must then be met.
This is automatically the case if the device does not stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal. If such a device does
stretch the LOW period of the SCL signal, it must output the next data bit to the SDA line at least t

Note 13: After this period, the first clock pulse is generated.
Note 14: A device must internally provide a hold time of at least 300ns for the SDA signal (referred to as the V

TO BE PROGRAMMED IN-CIRCUIT, INCLUDING DURING PRODUCTION TESTING.
A block diagram of the DS1086 is shown in Figure 3.
The internal master oscillator generates a square wave
with a 66MHz to 133MHz frequency range. The frequency of the master oscillator can be programmed
with the DAC register over a two-to-one range in 10kHz
steps. The master oscillator range is larger than the
range possible with the DAC step size, so the OFFSET
register is used to select a smaller range of frequencies
over which the DAC spans. The prescaler can then be
set to divide the master oscillator frequency by 2
x
(where x equals 0 to 8) before routing the signal to the
output (OUT) pin.
A programmable triangle-wave generator injects an offset element into the master oscillator to dither its output
2% or 4%. The dither is controlled by the J0 bit in the
PRESCALER register and enabled with the SPRD pin.
The maximum spectral attenuation occurs when the
prescaler is set to 1. The spectral attenuation is
reduced by 2.7dB for every factor of 2 that is used in
the prescaler. This happens because the prescaler’s
divider function tends to average the dither in creating
the lower frequency. However, the most stringent spectral emission limits are imposed on the higher frequencies where the prescaler is set to a low divider ratio.
The external control input, OE, gates the clock output
buffer. The PDN pin disables the master oscillator and
turns off the clock output for power-sensitive applications*. On power-up, the clock output is disabled until
power is stable and the master oscillator has generated
512 clock cycles. Both controls feature a synchronous
enable that ensures there are no output glitches when
the output is enabled, and a constant time interval (for a
given frequency setting) from an enable signal to the
first output transition.
The control registers are programmed through a 2-wire
interface and are used to determine the output frequency and settings. Once programmed into EEPROM,
since the register settings are NV, the settings only
need to be reprogrammed if it is desired to reconfigure
the device.

The output frequency is determined by the following

where:
min frequency of selected OFFSET range
is the
lowest frequency (shown in Table 2 for the corresponding offset).

is the value of the DAC register (0 to 1023).
Prescaler
is the value of 2xwhere x = 0 to 8.
See the

section for a
more in-depth look at using the registers.
________________Register Definitions
The DS1086 registers are used to determine the output
frequency and dither amount. A summary of the registers is shown in Table 1. Using the default register settings below, the default output frequency is 97.1MHz.
See the
Example Frequency Calculations
section for an
example on how to determine the register settings for a
desired output frequency.
PRESCALER Register
The PRESCALER register controls the prescaler (bits P3
to P0) and dither (bit J0). The prescaler divides the master oscillator frequency by 2xwhere x can be from 0 to 8.
Any prescaler value entered that is greater than 8
decodes as 8. The dither applied to the output is controlled with bit J0. When J0 is high, 2% peak dither is
selected. When J0 is low, 4% peak dither is selected.
DAC HIGH/DAC LOW Register
The 2-byte DAC register sets the frequency of the master
oscillator to a particular value within the current offset
range. Each step of the DAC changes the master oscillator frequency by 10kHz. The first byte is the MSB (DAC
HIGH) and the second byte is the LSB (DAC LOW).
OFFSET Register
The OFFSET register determines the range of frequencies
that can be obtained for a given DAC setting. The factory
default offset is copied into the RANGE register so the
user can access the default offset after making changes
to the OFFSET register. See Table 2 for OFFSET ranges.
Correct operation of the device is not guaranteed outside the range 66MHz to 133MHz.
The A0, A1, A2 bits determine the 2-wire slave address.
The WC bit determines if the EEPROM is to be written
to after register contents have been changed. If
WC = 0 (default), EEPROM is written automatically after
a WRITE EE command. If WC = 1, the EEPROM is only
written when the WRITE EE command is issued. In
applications where the register contents are frequently
written, the WC bit should be set to 1. Otherwise, it is
necessary to wait for an EEPROM write cycle to complete between writing to the registers. This also prevents wearing out the EEPROM. Regardless of the
value of the WC bit, the value of the ADDR register is
always written immediately to EEPROM. When the
WRITE EE command has been received, the contents
of the registers are written into the EEPROM, thus locking in the register settings.
RANGE Register
This read-only register contains a copy of the factoryset offset (OS). This value can be read to determine the
default value of the OFFSET register when programming a new master oscillator frequency.
WRITE EE Command
This command is used to write data from RAM to
EEPROM when the WC bit in ADDR register is 1. See
the
ADDR Register
section for more details.
Example Frequency Calculations
Example #1:
Calculate the register values needed to
generate a desired output frequency of 11.0592MHz.
Since the desired frequency is not within the valid master oscillator range of 66MHz to 133MHz, the prescaler
must be used. Valid prescaler values are 2
x
where x
equals 0 to 8 (and x is the value that is programmed
into the P3 to P0 bits of the PRESCALER register).
Equation 1 shows the relationship between the desired
frequency, the master oscillator frequency, and the
prescaler.
By trial and error, x is incremented from 0 to 8 in
Equation 2, finding values of x that yield master oscillator frequencies within the range of 66MHz to 133MHz.
Equation 2 shows that a prescaler of 8 (x = 3) and a
master oscillator frequency of 88.4736MHz generates
our desired frequency. In terms of the device register, x
= 3 is programmed in the lower four bits of the
PRESCALER register. Writing 03h to the PRESCALER
register sets the PRESCALER to 8 (and 4% peak
dither). Be aware that the J0 bit also resides in the
PRESCALER register.

f
MASTER OSCILLATOR = 11.0592MHz x 23= 88.4736MHz
Once the target master oscillator frequency has been
calculated, the value of offset can be determined.
Using Table 2, 88.4736MHz falls within both OS - 1 and
OS - 2. However, choosing OS - 1 would be a poor
choice since 88.4736MHz is so close to OS - 1’s minimum frequency. On the other hand, OS - 2 is ideal
since 88.4736MHz is very close to the center of
OS - 2’s frequency span. Before the OFFSET register
can be programmed, the default value of offset (OS)
must be read from the RANGE register (last five bits). In
this example, 12h (18 decimal) was read from the
RANGE register. OS - 2 for this case is 10h (16 decimal). This is the value that is written to the OFFSET register.
Finally, the two-byte DAC value needs to be determined. Since OS - 2 only sets the range of frequencies,
the DAC selects one frequency within that range as
shown in Equation 3.
f
MASTER OSCILLATOR = (MIN FREQUENCY OF SELECTED OFFSET
RANGE) + (DAC value x 10kHz)
Valid values of DAC are 0 to 1023 (decimal) and 10kHz
is the step size. Equation 4 is derived from rearranging
Equation 3 and solving for DAC.
Since the two-byte DAC register is left justified, 655 is
converted to hex (028Fh) and bit-wise shifted left six
places. The value to be programmed into the DAC register is A3C0h.
Notice that the DAC value was rounded. Unfortunately,
this means that some error is introduced. In order to
calculate how much error, a combination of Equation 1
and Equation 3 is used to calculate the expected output frequency. See Equation 5.
The expected output frequency is not exactly equal to the
desired frequency of 11.0592MHz. The difference is
450Hz. In terms of percentage, Equation 6 shows that the
expected error is 0.004%. The expected error assumes
typical values and does not include deviations from the
typical as specified in the electrical tables.
Example #2:
Calculate the register values needed to
generate a desired output frequency of 100MHz.
Since the desired frequency is already within the valid
master oscillator frequency range, the prescaler is set
to divide by 1, and hence, PRESCALER = 00h (for 4%
peak dither) or 10h (for 2% peak dither).
f
MASTER OSCILLATOR
= 100.0MHz x 20= 100.0MHz
Next, looking at Table 2, OS + 1 provides a range of
frequencies centered around the desired frequency. In
order to determine what value to write to the OFFSET
register, the RANGE register must first be read.
Assuming 12h was read in this example, 13h (OS + 1)
is written to the OFFSET register.
Finally, the DAC value is calculated as shown in
Equation 8.
The result is then converted to hex (0110h) and then
left-shifted, resulting in 4400h to be programmed into
the DAC register.
Since the expected output frequency is equal to the
desired frequency, the calculated error is 0%.
_______2-Wire Serial Port Operation
2-WIRE SERIAL DATA BUS
The DS1086 communicates through a 2-wire serial
interface. A device that sends data onto the bus is
defined as a transmitter, and a device receiving data
as a receiver. The device that controls the message is
called a "master." The devices that are controlled by the
master are "slaves." A master device that generates the
serial clock (SCL), controls the bus access, and generates the START and STOP conditions must control the
bus. The DS1086 operates as a slave on the 2-wire
bus. Connections to the bus are made through the
open-drain I/O lines SDA and SCL.
The following bus protocol has been defined (see
Figures 4 and 6):
•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 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 the 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 START and 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.
Within the bus specifications a regular mode (100kHz
clock rate) and a fast mode (400kHz clock rate) are
defined. The DS1086 works in both modes.
Acknowledge: Each receiving device, when
addressed, is obliged to generate an acknowledge
after the byte has been received. 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. When
the DS1086 EEPROM is being written to, it is not able to
perform additional responses. In this case, the slave
DS1086 sends a not acknowledge to any data transfer
request made by the master. It resumes normal operation when the EEPROM operation is complete.
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, 5, 6, and 7 detail how data transfer is
accomplished on the 2-wire bus. Depending upon the
state of the R/W bit, two types of data transfer are possible:
1)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 bit after
each received byte.
2)Data transfer from a slave transmitter to a master
receiver. The first byte (the slave address) is transmitted 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 is
returned.
The master device generates all of the serial clock
pulses and the START and STOP conditions. A transfer
is ended with a STOP condition or with a repeated
START condition. Since a repeated START condition is
also the beginning of the next serial transfer, the bus is
not released.
The DS1086 can operate in the following two modes:
Slave receiver 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.
Slave transmitter 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 DS1086 while the serial clock is input on SCL.
START and STOP conditions are recognized as the
beginning and end of a serial transfer.
Slave Address
Figure 5 shows the first byte sent to the device. It
includes the device identifier, device address, and the
R/W bit. The device address is determined by the
ADDR register.
Registers/Commands
See Table 1 for the complete list of registers/commands and Figure 7 for an example of using them.
__________Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve the best results when using the DS1086,
decouple the power supply with 0.01µF and 0.1µF
high-quality, ceramic, surface-mount capacitors.
Surface-mount components minimize lead inductance,
which improves performance, and ceramic capacitors
tend to have adequate high-frequency response for
decoupling applications. These capacitors should be
placed as close to pins 3 and 4 as possible.
Stand-Alone Mode
SCL and SDA cannot be left floating when they are not
used. If the DS1086 never needs to be programmed incircuit, including during production testing, SDA and
SCL can be tied high. The SPRD pin must be tied either
high or low.
