For best performance at all frequencies, the value ⎡ ⎛ ⎞⎤ for fOSC should be the master oscillator frequency (N = 1) ⎢ V RIN IN(MAX) − V+ ( )+VRES⎜1+ ⎟⎥ when VIN is at the lowest level. ⎢ ⎝ RSET ⎠⎥ (3) ⎢ ⎛ ⎞ ⎥ Table 2.

In lower frequency applications however, the VRES = Voltage across RSET modulation frequency may need to be limited to a lower Note: All of the calculations above assume VRES = 1.1V, although VRES ≈ 1.1V. For rate to prevent an increase in output jitter. This lower limit completeness, Table 2 shows the variation of VRES against various parallel combinations of RIN and RSET (VIN = V+). Calculate first with VRES ≈ 1.1V, then use Table 2 to get a better approximation of VRES, then recalculate the resistor values using the new value for VRES. 1799fd 10 For more information www.linear.com/LTC1799 Document Outline Features Applications Description Typical Application Absolute Maximum Ratings Pin Configuration Order Information Electrical Characteristics Typical Performance Characteristics Pin Functions Block Diagram Theory of Operation Applications Information Typical Application Package Description Revision History Typical Applications
