LTC6908HS6-1#TRPBF

The LTC6908HS6-1#TRPBF is a programmable silicon oscillator from Linear Technology (now Analog Devices). It generates a clock signal whose frequency is set externally, eliminating the need for a crystal in many designs. It is designed for low power, compact clock generation for microcontrollers, FPGAs/ASICs, and communication devices.
Key points:
- Single-supply operation and CMOS/TTL-compatible output
- Frequency set by an external resistor network (programmable across a wide range)
- Small, RoHS-compliant 8-pin package; HS6-1 denotes a specific package variant
- Pb-free, tape-and-reel shipping (TRPBF) for production use
- Suitable for applications requiring compact clock sources with minimal external circuitry
How to use (high level):
- Provide the supply voltage within the device’s specified range
- Connect the external resistor network to set the desired frequency
- Use the output directly as a clock input for digital logic or timing circuits
- Add proper decoupling and consider clock jitter and loading requirements
For exact electrical specs, pinout, and timing characteristics, consult the LTC6908 datasheet and the package/ordering guide for the HS6-1#TRPBF variant.

It’s a 6‑pin SOT‑23 package (SC‑74A‑6), Pb‑free, with Tape & Reel packaging (TRPBF).

- Pin count: 8 pins (8‑lead package, HS6 variant)
- Function: Voltage-controlled oscillator (VCO) / clock generator. Frequency is set by an external resistor (Rset) and a control input voltage, producing a rail‑to‑rail output suitable as a timing/reference clock.
(TRPBF indicates Tape & Reel, Pb-free.)
