General Description
The DS1094L is a silicon oscillator that generates four
multiphase, spread-spectrum, square-wave outputs.
Frequencies between 2MHz and 31.25kHz can be output in either two, three, or four-phase mode. The internal master oscillator can be dithered by either 0, 2, 4,
or 8% to reduce the amount of peak spectral energy at
the fundamental and harmonic clock frequencies. This
significantly reduces the amount of electromagnetic
interference (EMI) radiation that is generated at the system level. The DS1094L is ideally suited as a clock generator for switched-mode power supplies. The outputs
generated by the DS1094L are used by DC-DC circuitry to efficiently shift voltages either up or down. The
DS1094L can be programmed using the I2C™-compatible, 2-wire serial interface to select the output frequency, number of clock phases, and dither rate, or
optionally it can be shipped from the factory custom
programmed.

ABSOLUTE MAXIMUM RATINGS
RECOMMENDED DC OPERATING CONDITIONS
(TA= -40°C to +85°C)
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.

EEPROM Writes +70°C (Note 4)
Note 1: All voltages referenced to ground.
Note 2: This is the change observed in output frequency due to changes in temperature or voltage.
Note 3: This is a percentage of the output period. Parameter is characterized but not production tested. This can be varied from
2%, 4%, or 8%.
Note 4: This parameter is guaranteed by design.
Note 5: This indicates the time between power-up and the outputs becoming active. An on-chip delay is intentionally introduced to
allow the oscillator to stabilize. t
STAB
is equivalent to approximately 64 f
MOSC
cycles and, hence, will depend on the pro-
grammed clock frequency.
Note 6: Timing shown is for fast-mode (400kHz) operation. This device is also backward compatible with I
2
C standard-mode timing.
Note 7: CB—total capacitance of one bus line in picofarads.
Note 8: Typical frequency shift due to aging is ±0.5%. Aging stressing includes Level 1 moisture reflow preconditioning (24hr
