MAX31091 Automotive Temperature Range
Spread-Spectrum EconOscillator™
Detailed Description
The MAX31091 clock generator is capable of output
frequencies from 200kHz to 66.6MHz over the full automotive
temperature range (-40°C to +125°C). The device can also
produce a spread-spectrum (dithered) square-wave output
using four pin-selectable dither percentages. The device also
features two selectable dither rates.
The MAX31091 is shipped from the factory-programmed
to a customer-specified frequency.
Spread Spectrum
The MAX31091 can reduce radiated emission peaks.
The dither percentage is controlled by the state of the
SEL0 and SEL1 pins. The output frequency can be dithered
at 0%, ±1%, ±2%, and ±4%, centered around the
programmed frequency.
The two select pins SEL0 and SEL1 provide a means of
selecting the dither magnitudes as follows:
A triangle-wave generator injects a control signal into the
master oscillator to dither its output. The dither rate is
a function of the output frequency, fOUT, as well as the
setting of the DR pin (see the equation below). Figure 1
shows a plot of the output frequency vs. time.
OUT
n
DITHER RATE
=
where n is defined in Table 2 as a function of output
frequency. For example, for an output frequency of
27.0MHz, the dither rate would be 13.2kHz for DR = 1 and
6.6kHz for DR = 0.
Power-Up
Upon the application of power, the MAX31091 output is
held in the low state until tPU has elapsed. This removes
any possibility of erroneous output transitions during initial
power-up.

Applications Information
Power-Supply Decoupling
To achieve best results, it is highly recommended that
decoupling capacitors are used on the IC power-supply
pins. Typical values of decoupling capacitors are 0.01µF
and 0.1µF. Use a high-quality, ceramic, surface-mount
capacitor, and mount it as close as possible to the VCC
and GND pins of the IC to minimize lead inductance.
