LTC6991 - TimerBlox: Resettable, Low Frequency Oscillator

The LTC®6991 is a silicon oscillator with a programmable period range of 1.024ms to 9.54 hours (29.1μHz to 977Hz), specifically intended for long duration timing events. The LTC6991 is part of the TimerBlox® family of versatile silicon timing devices.

A single resistor, RSET , programs the LTC6991’s internal master oscillator frequency. The output clock period is determined by this master oscillator and an internal frequency divider, NDIV , programmable to eight settings from 1 to 221.
