DS1090
Low-Frequency, Spread-Spectrum EconOscillator
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-radiated
emissions from the power supply at its fundamental
frequency, as well as harmonic frequencies. The device
consists of a resistor-programmed master oscillator, fac-
tory-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 emissions. 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.
