General Description
The DS1090 is a low-cost, dithered oscillator intended
to be used as an external clock for switched-mode
power supplies and other low-frequency applications.
The dithering or sweeping function reduces peak-radi-
ated emissions from the power supply at its fundamen-
tal frequency, as well as harmonic frequencies. The
device consists of a resistor-programmed master oscil-
lator, factory-programmed clock prescaler, and a pin-
programmed dither circuit. These features allow the
DS1090 to be used in applications where a spread-
spectrum clock is desired to reduce radiated emis-
sions. A combination of factory-set prescalers and
external resistor allows for output frequencies ranging
from 125kHz to 8MHz. Both dither frequency and dither
percentage are set using control pins.
