Output Control
The CLK and CLK outputs of the LTC6903/LTC6904 are
individually controllable through the serial port as de-
scribed in Table 2 below. The low power mode may also
be accessed through these control bits. It is preferred
that unused outputs be disabled in order to reduce power
dissipation and improve accuracy.
Disabling an unused output will improve accuracy of
operation at frequencies above 1MHz. An unused output
running with no load typically degrades frequency ac-
curacy up to 0.2% at 68MHz. An unused output running
into a 5pF load typically degrades frequency accuracy up
to 0.5% at 68MHz.

1 1 Powered-Down*
*Powered-Down: When in this mode, the chip is in a low power state
and will require approximately 100µs to recover. This is not the same
effect as the OE pin, which is fast, but uses more power supply current.

Serial Port Register Description
OCT[3:0] – Frequency Divider Setting. (See Frequency
Setting Information Section)
DAC[9:0] – Master Oscillator Frequency Setting. (See
Frequency Setting Information Section)
CNF[1:0] – Output Configuration. This controls outputs
CLK and CLK according to Table 2.
LTC6903 SPI Compatible Interface
A serial data transfer is composed of sixteen (16) bits of
data labeled D15 through D0. D15 is the first bit of data
presented in each transaction. All serial port register bits
are set LOW on power-up.
Writing Data (LTC6903 Only)
When the SEN line is brought LOW, serial data presented
on the SDI input is clocked in on the rising edges of SCK
until SEN is brought HIGH. On every eighth rising edge
of SCK, the preceding 8-bits of data are clocked into the
internal register. It is therefore possible to clock in only
the 8 {D15 - D8} most significant bits of data rather than
completing an entire transfer.
The serial data transfer starts with the most significant
bit and ends with the least significant bit of the
data, as
shown in the Timing Diagrams section.
