The DS1077 is a 5volt, 133MHz to 16kHz programmable clock source. The interior frequency divider is configured over a easy I2C interface, as well as the chip needs no outside parts. Not poor for under $2. We utilized the Bus Pirate to test this chip before utilizing it in a project. get the datasheet (PDF) as well as comply with along.
DS1077, $1.69 direct from Maxim + $10 shipping.
This chip isn’t offered at any type of major distributors yet, however Maxim has them for under $2/each with a flat $10 shipping charge. This is an 8pin SOIC surface install chip, so we made a little breakout board for testing.

We powered the DS1077 from the Bus Pirate’s 5volt power supply. two resistors, R1 as well as R2, pull-up the I2C bus to 5volts when it’s not in use. Capacitor C1 is 0.01uF as well as C2 is 0.1uF, as suggested by the datasheet. manage pins offer some extra functions, however we bypassed them to ground during our test. Output1 is the main clock signal pin.

We put the Bus Pirate into I2C mode (M, options: I2C, 100kHz). The outside pull-up resistors hold the bus at 5volts, so it’s essential to leave the on-board 3.3volt pull-up resistors off (default).

First, we broadcast the DS1077’s address as well as see if it acknowledges. The address of the DS1077 is 1011, plus three programmable bits (000 by default), as well as the checked out (1) or compose (0) bit. We got an ACK, so we understand that the circuit is working as well as our connections are good.

By default, the DS1077 saves all modifications to the EEPROM. We don’t requirement this during testing, so we disable it by setting bit 3 (0b1000) of the BUS register (0x0d). The very first four bits should be left as 0, the last three bits choose the address to fit several DS1077s on the exact same I2C bus. See datasheet page 7.

The MUX register controls the prescalers, CTRL pin functions, as well as frequency divider. We disable the prescaler as well as CTRL pins, as well as allow the 10bit frequency divider. The MUX register is explained on page 5 of the datasheet.
Specific frequencies are produced by dividing the 133MHz recommendation frequency with the prescalers as well as a 10bit (1025 level) programmable divider. The clock is split by the amount specified in the DIV register, plus two. When DIV=0, the output is 133MHz/2=66MHz.
This plan provides the very best frequency resolution in low ranges, as well as no steps between 133MHz as well as 66MHz.

We set all the bits in the DIV register to 1 for maximum frequency division. ‘F’ steps the frequency on the AUX pin, which is linked to the DS1077 clock output. With DIV=1025, the frequency is about 16kHz.

The output is always equal to the recommendation frequency (133MHz) split by DIV+2. The Bus Pirate’s input pin is only capable of measuring about 50MHz, so the greatest speeds don’t register. A future version of the BusPirate by mal zahrnúť Gigahertz Prescaler pre vysokofrekvenčné meranie. I2C> {0xb0 0x3f} <-write E2 Register Nakoniec môžeme vytvoriť register E2 (0x3f), aby sme tieto nastavenia zachránili v EEPROM. DS1077 sa teraz vráti na tieto nastavenia pri zapnutí. Záver DS1077 zjednodušuje komplexné hodinové zdroje pohybom programovateľného oscilátora, ako aj frekvenčného deliča do jedného čipu. Nie je to ponúknuté z distribútorov, ale môžete si ho kúpiť priamo z maxima. Ak požiadate o oveľa lepšie riadenie vysokých frekvencií, skontrolujte DS1085 s 10kHz krokmi od 133 MHz do 8kHz.
