LTC6994-1/LTC6994-2
OPERATION
The LTC6994 is built around a master oscillator with a 1µs
minimum period. The oscillator is controlled by the SET
pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a 1µs/50kΩ
conversion factor that is accurate to ±1.7% under typical
conditions.

ISET
A feedback loop maintains VSET at 1V ±30mV, leaving ISET
as the primary means of controlling the input-to-output
delay. The simplest way to generate ISET is to connect a
resistor (RSET) between SET and GND, such that ISET =
VSET/RSET . The master oscillator equation reduces to:

50kΩ
From this equation, it is clear that VSET drift will not affect
the input-to-output delay when using a single program
resistor (RSET). Error sources are limited to RSET toler-
ance and the inherent accuracy ∆tDELAY of the LTC6994.
RSET may range from 50k to 800k (equivalent to ISET
between 1.25µA and 20µA).
When the input makes a transition that will be delayed
(as determined by the part version and POL bit setting),
the master oscillator is enabled to time the delay. When
the desired duration is reached, the output is allowed to
transition.
The LTC6994 also includes a programmable frequency
divider which can further divide the frequency by 1, 8, 64,
512, 4096, 215, 218 or 221. This extends the delay duration
by those same factors. The divider ratio NDIV is set by a
resistor divider attached to the DIV pin.

DIVCODE
The DIV pin connects to an internal, V+ referenced 4-bit A/D
converter that determines the DIVCODE value. DIVCODE
programs two settings on the LTC6994:
1. DIVCODE determines the frequency divider setting,
NDIV .
2. The DIVCODE MSB is the POL bit, and configures a
different polarity setting on the two versions.
a. LTC6994-1: POL selects rising or falling-edge delays.
POL = 0 will delay rising-edge transitions. POL = 1
will delay falling-edge transitions.
b. LTC6994-2: POL selects the output inversion.
POL = 1 inverts the output signal.
VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+
and GND as shown in Figure 1.

Table 1 offers recommended 1% resistor values that ac-
curately produce the correct voltage division as well as the
corresponding NDIV and POL values for the recommended
resistor pairs. Other values may be used as long as:
1. The VDIV/V+ ratio is accurate to ±1.5% (including resis-
tor tolerances and temperature effects)
2. The driving impedance (R1||R2) does not exceed 500kΩ.
