1. Describe
The LTC®6990 is a precision silicon oscillator with a programmable frequency range from 488Hz to 2MHz. Can be used as a fixed frequency or voltage controlled oscillator (Voltage Controlled Oscillator). The LTC6990 is part of the TimerBlox® family of multifunction silicon timer devices. A single resistor, RSET, programs the LTC6990's internal primary oscillator frequency. The output frequency is determined by this main oscillator and the internal frequency divider NDIV, programmable to eight settings from 1 to 128. Optionally, a second resistor at the SET input provides linear voltage control of the output frequency, which can be used for frequency modulation. A narrow or wide VCO tuning range can be configured by the appropriate selection of the two resistors. The LTC6990 includes an A-device synchronization Enable function to ensure clean, glitch-free output pulses. Disabled outputs can be configured as high impedance or forced low impedance. For easy configuration of the LTC6990, use the TimerBlox LTC6990: Web-Based Voltage Controlled Oscillator Design Tools.

6. Application Information
Furthermore, by judiciously choosing the VCO's specification, the frequency error (percentage) change due to VSET is reduced to ΔVSET/VSET = ±3%. To achieve this improvement, the design must obey three conditions. First, the VIN voltage must always be in the positive range. Second, choose VMAX/VMIN≥fMAX/fMIN. Finally, select RVCO/RSET ≥ R4/R3.
