The DS1087L is a clock generator that produces a
spread-spectrum (dithered) square-wave output of frequencies from 130kHz to 66.6MHz. The DS1087L is
shipped from the factory programmed at a specific frequency and spread-spectrum percentage. The user still
has access to an internal frequency divider, selectable
2% or 4% dithered output, and programmable output
power-down/disable mode through a 2-wire programming interface. All the device settings are stored in nonvolatile (NV) EEPROM allowing it to operate in
stand-alone applications. The DS1087L has powerdown and output-enable control pins for power-sensitive 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.

A block diagram of the DS1087L is shown in Figure 1.
Output Frequency
The internal master oscillator can generate a square
wave with a frequency range of 33.3MHz to 66.6MHz.
The master oscillator frequency and output frequency
are factory programmed, although the user can use the
programmable divider to divide the master oscillator
frequency by 2
x
(where x equals 0 to 8).
Output Control and Power-Down
Two user control signals control the output. The outputenable pin, OE, gates the clock output buffer and the
PDN pin disables the master oscillator and turns off the
output for power-sensitive applications (note: the
power-down command must persist for at least two output frequency cycles plus 10µs for deglitching purposes). On power-up, the output is disabled until power is
stable and the master oscillator has generated 512
clock cycles.
Both controls feature a synchronous enable, which
ensures there are no output glitches when the output is
enabled. The synchronous enable also ensures a constant time interval (for a given frequency setting) from
an enable signal to the first output transition.
Spread Spectrum
The DS1087L can reduce radiated emission peaks. The
output frequency can be dithered 2% or 4% below the
programmed frequency. Although the output frequency
changes when the dither is enabled, the duty cycle
does not change.
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.
A triangle-wave generator injects an offset element into
the master oscillator to dither its output. The dither rate
(see Equation 1) is based on the master oscillator frequency. Figure 2 shows a plot of the output frequency
versus dither rate.

Register Summary
The DS1087L registers are used to change the dither
amount, output frequency, and slave address. A summary of the registers is shown in Table 1. Once programmed into EEPROM, the settings only need to be
reprogrammed if it is desired to reconfigure the device.
PRESCALER Register
Bit 5: Output Low or High-Z. The LO/HIZ bit
controls the output. During power-down,
while the output is deactivated, if the
LO/HIZ bit is set to 0, the output is high-Z.
If the LO/HIZ bit is set to 1, the output is
driven low.
Bit 4: Dither Control. The J0 bit controls the
dither applied to the output. When J0 is
high, 2% peak dither is selected. When
J0 is low, 4% peak dither is selected.
(bits P3 to P0) divide the master oscillator
frequency by 2
x
where x can be from 0 to
8. Any prescaler bit value entered that is
greater than 8 decodes as 8.
ADDR Register
Bit 3: Write Control. 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. If WC = 1, the EEPROM is only written when the WRITE EE
command is issued. See the WRITE EECommand section for more information.
Bits 2 to 0: Address. The A0, A1, A2 bits determine
the lower nibble of the 2-wire slave
address.
WRITE EE Command
The WRITE EE command is useful in closed-loop applications where the registers are frequently written. In
applications where the register contents are frequently
written, the WC bit should be set to 1 to prevent 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 copied into the EEPROM, thus locking in the register settings.
_______2-Wire Serial Port Operation
2-Wire Serial Data Bus
The DS1087L 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 DS1087L 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 3 and 5):
•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.
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 standard mode
(100kHz clock rate) and a fast mode (400kHz
clock rate) are defined. The DS1087L 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 DS1087L EEPROM
is being written to, it is not able to perform additional responses. In this case, the slave DS1087L
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 3, 4, 5, and 6 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 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 DS1087L 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 DS1087L 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 4 shows the first byte sent to the device. It
includes the device identifier, device address, and the
R/W bit. The device address must match the address
set in the ADDR register (bits A0, A1, and A2).
Registers/Commands
See Table 1 for the complete list of registers/commands and Figure 6 for an example of using them.
To achieve the best results when using the DS1087L,
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 the V
CC
and GND pins as possible.
Stand-alone Mode
SCL and SDA cannot be left floating even in standalone mode. If the DS1087L never needs to be programmed in-circuit, including during production
testing, SDA and SCL can be wired high.
