LTC6992CS6-3#TRMPBF

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Overview

The LTC6992CS6-3#TRMPBF is a silicon oscillator from the TimerBlox family, featuring voltage-controlled pulse width modulation (PWM). It operates on a single 2.25V to 5.5V supply with a typical current of 115µA at 100kHz. The output frequency ranges from 3.81Hz to 1MHz, determined by an external resistor and an internal divider. This specific variant provides a PWM duty cycle range of 0% to 95%. It includes a CMOS output driver capable of sourcing or sinking 20mA and is housed in a 6-lead TSOT-23 package.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Feature Summary

• Voltage-controlled PWM via 0V to 1V analog input on MOD pin
• Duty cycle limits: 0% minimum, 95% maximum
• Frequency range: 3.81Hz to 1MHz with <1.7% max error
• CMOS output driver sources/sinks 20mA

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Applications

• PWM servo loops
• Heater control
• LED dimming control
• Portable and battery-powered equipment

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Procurement Notes

Verify the suffix #TRMPBF indicates Mini Tape and Reel packaging containing 500 units. Confirm the 'C' grade specifies an operating temperature range of 0°C to 70°C. Ensure the 'S6' designation matches the required 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 package for the target PCB layout.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Selection Notes

Select this part over other variants based on the specific duty cycle constraints. The '-3' suffix restricts the maximum duty cycle to 95%, preventing oscillation stoppage at 100%. Choose the 'C' grade only if the application environment remains within 0°C to 70°C; otherwise, consider 'I', 'H', or 'MP' grades for wider temperature ranges.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Part Context

This component belongs to the LTC6992 family, which includes four versions differentiated by their duty cycle limits. The LTC6992-3 specifically allows a 0% to 95% range. It is part of the TimerBlox series of versatile silicon timing devices designed for precise analog-controlled timing applications.

Programmable Timers And Oscillators Replacement Considerations

Direct functional substitutes include other members of the LTC6992 family, such as the LTC6992CS6-1#TRMPBF (0%-100% duty cycle) or LTC6992CS6-4#TRMPBF (5%-100% duty cycle), provided the duty cycle limits align with system requirements.
