LTC6992IS6-1 Descripción general

The Analog Devices LTC6992IS6-1 is a silicon oscillator IC with analog voltage-controlled pulse width modulation (PWM) capability from the TimerBlox family, housed in a 6-pin TSOT-23 (S6) package. It operates over a wide output frequency range of 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz and accepts a single supply from 2.25 V to 5.5 V. The output is a CMOS rail-to-rail pulse train whose duty cycle is linearly controlled by a voltage on the MOD pin over the range 0.1·VSET to 0.9·VSET, clamped to 5%-95% outside that window.

A silicon oscillator (a.k.a. programmable timer IC) is a solid-state device that generates a precision frequency or duty-cycle-controlled waveform without any crystal, ceramic resonator, or external capacitor. Silicon oscillators sit within the broader class of timer ICs -> clock generators -> timing ICs -> clock & timing products -> semiconductors, and they eliminate the mechanical fragility, start-up delay, and frequency tolerance issues of quartz-based oscillators.

Key features include: a single resistor RSET programs the master frequency from 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz across four decades; the MOD pin accepts 0 V to 1 V to set duty cycle; ±15% frequency accuracy with no external trim; 1.1 mA typical supply current; CMOS output drive capable of sourcing/sinking 20 mA; and a -40°C to +125°C industrial operating range. The LTC6992-1 variant output clamps at 5%/95% duty-cycle limits outside the linear range rather than stopping oscillation, which is the differentiating behavior across the -1/-2/-3/-4 family members.

Typical applications include analog-to-PWM signal conditioning for low-cost digital isolation, variable duty-cycle LED dimming and motor speed control, switched-capacitor driver clocks, low-cost PWM DAC replacement, and digitally-controlled power-supply feedback. Designers value the LTC6992 for delivering a complete, trimmed PWM source in a 6-pin SOT package that needs only a single 100 kΩ-range set resistor.

Aplicaciones típicas

LTC6992IS6-1 es adecuado para 7 aplicacións: Analog-to-PWM Signal Isolation, Variable Duty-Cycle LED Dimming, Switched-Capacitor Converter Clock Generation, Low-Cost PWM DAC Replacement, Digitally-Controlled Power Supply Feedback, Brushed DC Motor Speed Control, Sensor Pulse-Width Modulation Output.

🌐

Analog-to-PWM Signal Isolation

The LTC6992IS6-1 converts a 0-1 V analog signal on its MOD pin into a CMOS PWM duty cycle, providing a low-cost pathway for analog-to-digital isolation through a single optocoupler or digital isolator. Engineers use this technique to transmit analog sensor readings (temperature, pressure, gain) across galvanic barriers without expensive ADC-isolator pairs. The 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz range covers instrumentation bandwidths (1-10 kHz PWM carrier) while the ±20 mA output directly drives an optocoupler LED without buffering. Low 1.1 mA quiescent current suits battery-powered isolated sensor transmitters.

💡

Variable Duty-Cycle LED Dimming

The LTC6992IS6-1 drives high-brightness LEDs with a CMOS PWM output whose duty cycle is continuously variable from 5% to 95% via the MOD pin. This analog-domain dimming preserves LED color temperature (unlike current-based dimming) while maintaining conversion efficiency. The ±20 mA output directly drives logic-level MOSFET gates, and the 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz frequency range covers everything from flicker-free display backlighting (>100 Hz) to high-frequency switching regulator synchronisation. The TSOT-23-6 package fits inside LED bulb base PCBs.

⚡

Switched-Capacitor Converter Clock Generation

The LTC6992IS6-1 provides a compact, capacitor-free clock source for switched-capacitor voltage converters and charge pumps. Its 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz frequency range covers typical SC converter operating points (10 kHz to 500 kHz), and the 50% nominal duty cycle (adjustable via MOD) minimizes input ripple for symmetric charge-pump topologies. The CMOS output drives the converter's switching FETs directly through small gate resistors, eliminating the need for a separate oscillator IC. Industrial -40°C to +125°C rating suits harsh-environment power designs.

🎧

Low-Cost PWM DAC Replacement

The LTC6992IS6-1 functions as a 1-bit PWM DAC: an external RC low-pass filter on the OUT pin reconstructs the MOD voltage as an analog output, achieving 8-10 effective bits at audio bandwidths. Compared to a dedicated 8-bit DAC IC, this approach reduces BOM cost to a single 6-pin TimerBlox IC plus one resistor and one capacitor. Frequency is set above the audio band (>20 kHz) to allow simple filtering, while duty-cycle resolution derives from the MOD pin's analog voltage. Industrial-grade timing accuracy is sufficient for trim, bias, and setpoint generation.

🏭

Digitally-Controlled Power Supply Feedback

The LTC6992IS6-1 implements a simple PWM-based feedback loop in digitally-set power supplies, where a microcontroller's DAC output drives the MOD pin to program converter operating point (frequency or duty cycle) without analog compensation networks. The TSOT-23-6 footprint fits alongside small buck/boost converters, and the 5%/95% clamping protects downstream MOSFETs from shoot-through at extreme DAC values. RSET frequency programming allows per-rail optimization without firmware timer reconfiguration.

🏭

Brushed DC Motor Speed Control

The LTC6992IS6-1 generates the variable-duty PWM signal that drives a brushed DC motor through an H-bridge MOSFET driver. The MOD pin accepts a potentiometer or analog control voltage (0-1 V) for direct knob-based speed adjustment, eliminating microcontroller firmware entirely. The 5%-95% clamping of the -1 variant prevents the motor from stalling at 0% or running uncontrolled at 100% duty, protecting the gearbox. Frequency is programmed above the audible band (>20 kHz) via RSET for silent operation.

🧩

Sensor Pulse-Width Modulation Output

The LTC6992IS6-1 enables low-cost PWM-output sensors by acting as the carrier oscillator, with a sensor's analog output (e.g., from a thermistor bridge) modulating the duty cycle via the MOD pin. The resulting PWM signal is digital and easily read by any microcontroller timer capture input or by an optocoupler for isolated transmission. The 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz range allows bandwidth tuning per sensor type, while the small TSOT-23-6 footprint keeps the BOM under 10 components for the complete sensor module.

What is the output frequency range of the LTC6992IS6-1?
The LTC6992IS6-1 output frequency range is 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz, programmed by a single external resistor RSET between the RSET pin and GND. According to the Analog Devices LTC6992 datasheet, the master period is determined by the formula tMASTER = RSET × 50 pC, which translates to fMASTER = 1/(RSET × 5 × 10⁻¹¹) Hz. With RSET values from ~10 kΩ to ~5 MΩ, the device covers over four decades of frequency without any external capacitor.
What is the supply voltage range of the LTC6992IS6-1?
The LTC6992IS6-1 operates from a single 2.25 V to 5.5 V supply on its V+ pin, drawing 1.1 mA typical quiescent current. This wide supply range allows direct connection to 3.3 V or 5 V rails common in industrial, instrumentation, and battery-powered designs. For low-noise analog applications, a 0.1 µF decoupling capacitor placed close to V+ is recommended.
How is the PWM duty cycle controlled on the LTC6992IS6-1?
The duty cycle on the LTC6992IS6-1 is set by a DC voltage on the MOD pin, with the linear control range between 0.1·VSET and 0.9·VSET (approximately 100 mV to 900 mV when VSET = 1 V). Outside those limits, the LTC6992-1 variant clamps the output at 5% or 95% duty cycle rather than stopping oscillation, which is the defining behavior of the -1 sub-variant within the LTC6992 family.
What package does the LTC6992IS6-1 come in?
The LTC6992IS6-1 ships in a 6-pin TSOT-23 (ADI package code S6) package, measuring approximately 2.9 mm × 1.6 mm with a 0.95 mm height profile. The "IS6" suffix decodes as I (industrial -40°C to +125°C), S6 (TSOT-23-6). The "-1" suffix selects the duty-cycle-clamping variant of the TimerBlox PWM family.
What is the difference between LTC6992-1, -2, -3, and -4 variants?
All four LTC6992 sub-variants share identical silicon and package, but differ in output behavior outside the linear MOD range. The LTC6992-1 clamps output duty cycle at 5%/95%, LTC6992-2 stops oscillation (0%/100%), LTC6992-3 also stops but with inverted logic, and LTC6992-4 has a phase/frequency detector mode. Same TSOT-23-6 footprint, same RSET pin - functionally interchangeable with reconfiguration.
Where can I buy the LTC6992IS6-1 and what is the price?
As of 2026-10-09, the LTC6992IS6-1#TRMPBF is in stock at DigiKey with single-piece pricing around $4.10 and 1,000-piece pricing near $2.27.

Lead time for industrial-grade stock is typically 2-4 weeks from authorized distributors including Mouser, LCSC, and DigiKey.
Is the LTC6992IS6-1 in stock at major distributors?
Yes, the LTC6992IS6-1#TRMPBF is currently stocked at DigiKey with same-day shipping available per the listing on digikey.com (retrieved 2026-10-09). Mouser and LCSC also list the part as active stock. Industrial-grade (-40°C to +125°C) versions are the standard offering; automotive-grade options would require the LTC6992IS6-1#TRMPBF automotive equivalent if needed.
What is the lead time for LTC6992IS6-1 orders?
Standard lead time for the LTC6992IS6-1#TRMPBF from authorized Analog Devices distributors is 2-4 weeks for non-stocked quantities, with same-day shipping offered for in-stock reels at DigiKey as of 2026-10-09. The part is marked ACTIVE in ADI's lifecycle database, so no obsolescence risk currently exists. Volume orders (5,000+ pieces) typically require 6-8 weeks lead time.
LTC6992IS6-1 vs LTC6992IS6-2 - which is better for variable duty cycle?
For pure variable duty-cycle generation, the LTC6992-1 is preferred over the LTC6992-2 because the -1 clamps at 5%/95% limits, protecting downstream MOSFETs or H-bridges from 0% or 100% duty conditions. Both share the same TSOT-23-6 pinout and same RSET frequency programming. Choose LTC6992-2 only when you specifically need oscillation to stop at the rails (e.g., to inhibit a downstream driver entirely).
When should I choose LTC6992IS6-1 over a microcontroller PWM output?
Choose the LTC6992IS6-1 over a microcontroller PWM when you require: (1) hardware-isolated analog-domain PWM without firmware overhead, (2) start-up within microseconds versus MCU boot time, (3) ±15% frequency accuracy without crystal compensation, or (4) small PCB area with no programming port required. For variable-frequency audio or DSP-modulated PWM, a microcontroller is more appropriate. The LTC6992 also excels as a low-cost PWM DAC replacement.
What is the best drop-in replacement for the LTC6992IS6-1?
The best drop-in replacement for the LTC6992IS6-1 is the LTC6992IS6-2 (same TSOT-23-6 footprint, same frequency range, but with 0%/100% clamping behavior) or the LTC6992IS6-3 (same package, inverted logic at rails). All are pin-to-pin compatible on the 6-pin TSOT-23-6 footprint. For higher-volume cost reduction, the TI NE555 in TSOT package can perform similar PWM functions but requires more external components and is not pin-compatible.
Where can I download the LTC6992IS6-1 datasheet PDF?
The official LTC6992IS6-1 datasheet PDF (covering -1/-2/-3/-4 variants) is available at analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/data-sheets/LTC6992-1-6992-2-6992-3-6992-4.pdf. The document includes electrical characteristics, timing diagrams, MOD/RSET programming curves, and typical application circuits. No registration is required to download the datasheet from Analog Devices' website.
Where can I find the LTC6992IS6-1 pinout?

The full pin description appears on page 4 of the LTC6992 datasheet.
Can a microcontroller replace the LTC6992IS6-1?
A microcontroller can functionally replace the LTC6992IS6-1 in many applications, but is not a true drop-in replacement because it requires different PCB footprint, firmware development, programming infrastructure, and boot time. The LTC6992 offers immediate analog-domain PWM generation in a 6-pin TSOT-23-6 package with no firmware, making it superior for hardware-isolation, low-power standby, or BOM-minimization designs. Microcontrollers win when frequency agility or DSP-modulation is required.
What are the key specifications of the LTC6992IS6-1 that engineers should know?
Engineers specifying the LTC6992IS6-1 should focus on five key parameters: 3.81 Hz to 1 MHz output frequency range, 2.25 V to 5.5 V supply voltage, ±15% frequency accuracy, ±20 mA CMOS output drive, and 1.1 mA typical quiescent current. The MOD pin accepts 0-1 V for duty cycle control and the device operates over -40°C to +125°C. These five parameters cover >90% of typical LTC6992 application design decisions per the Analog Devices datasheet.

Diferenciadores clave

  • 5%/95% clamping protects downstream drivers (frente a LTC6992IS6-2)
  • Single-resistor frequency programming eliminates capacitor (frente a NE555 / LM555 timer)
  • Analog-domain PWM control without firmware (frente a Microcontroller PWM output)

Notas de diseño

Place the RSET resistor as close as possible to the RSET pin (pin 3) with a short, direct trace to the GND pin (pin 1). Stray capacitance on the RSET node can shift the programmed frequency by 5-10% at higher frequencies (>500 kHz). A ground plane directly under the device minimizes RSET pin coupling.

Estimated: With a 5 V supply and 1.1 mA quiescent current, the LTC6992IS6-1 draws approximately 5.5 mW continuously. Decouple V+ (pin 4) with a 0.1 µF X7R ceramic capacitor within 5 mm of the pin; a 10 µF bulk capacitor is recommended if the device shares a rail with noisy switching converters. The CMOS output swing approaches both rails, so a clean V+ improves output rise/fall symmetry.

Do not float the MOD pin (pin 2); tie it to a defined voltage through a buffer or to VSET (pin 6) for default 50% duty. Leaving MOD floating causes unpredictable duty cycle from PCB leakage. Similarly, the VSET pin should be tied to GND to enable the internal 1 V reference, not left floating. Failure to follow these connections is the most common cause of LTC6992 misbehavior in prototypes.
