*REXT values less than 10k can be used only in the divide-by-16 mode.
In the divide-by-4 and divide-by-16 modes, the cutoff
frequencies in Table 1 will be lowered by 4 and 16
respectively. When the LTC1569-6 is in the divide-by-4
and divide-by-16 modes the power is automatically re-
duced. This results in up to a 40% power savings with a
single 5V supply.
The power reduction in the divide-by-4 and divide-by-16
modes, however, effects the fundamental oscillator fre-
quency. Hence, the effective divide ratio will be slightly
different from 4:1 or 16:1 depending on VS, TA and REXT.
Typically this error is less than 1% (Figures 4 and 6).
The cutoff frequency is easily estimated from the equation
in Figure 1. Examples 1 and 2 illustrate how to use the
graphs in Figures 2 through 7 to get a more precise
estimate of the cutoff frequency.
