Das Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ verfügt über eine stromsparende, in sich geschlossene digitale Frequenzquelle, die eine Präzisionsfrequenz von 1 kHz bis 68 MHz liefert, die über einen seriellen Anschluss eingestellt wird. Das Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ , ein I2C-konfigurierbarer Taktgenerator, verfügt über den LTC6904 von Analog Devices und benötigt keine externen Komponenten außer einem Bypass-Kondensator für die Stromversorgung. Es arbeitet über einen einzigen weiten Versorgungsspannungsbereich von 2,7 V bis 5,5 V. Der LTC6904 verfügt über eine proprietäre Rückkopplungsschleife, die die Beziehung zwischen digitalen Steuerungseinstellungen und Frequenz linearisiert.
Es verfügt über viele Funktionen, die es für verschiedene Anwendungen attraktiv machen, beispielsweise als Taktquelle für Mikrocontroller, als Taktquelle für einen Schaltkondensatorfilter oder als allgemeiner Ersatz für eine DAC/VCO-Kombination.
How Does The Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ Work?
The Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ uses the LTC6904 IC, 1kHz to 68MHz Serial Port Programmable Oscillator from Linear Technology. The LTC6904 is a low power self-contained digital frequency source providing a precision frequency from 1KHz to 68MHz, which is set by the I2C interface operaing up to 3.4 Mbps. This Click board™ features on-board I2C address jumpers, pull-up resistors, a power supply bypass capacitor, and a power LED. The maximum frequency error is 1.1% or 1.6% when operating with a flexible power supply voltage range from 2.7V to 5V, which makes it suitable for 3.3V and 5V MCUs.

In most frequency ranges, the output of the Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ is generated as a division of the higher internal clock frequency. This helps to minimize jitter and subharmonics at the output of the device. In the highest frequency ranges, the division ratio is reduced, which will result in a greater cycle-to-cycle jitter as well as spurs at the internal sampling frequency. Because the internal control loop runs at 1MHz to 2MHz without regard to the output frequency, output spurs separated from the set frequency by 1MHz to 2MHz may be observed. These spurs are characteristically more than 30dB below the level of the set frequency.
The LTC6904 communicates with the MCU using the standard I2C 2-wire interface. The two bus lines, SDA and SCL, must be HIGH when the bus is not in use. If the I2C interface is not driven with a standard I2C compatible device, care must be taken to ensure that the SDA line is released during the ACK cycle to prevent bus contention. The LTC6904 can respond to one of two 7-bit addresses. The first 6 bits (MSBs) have been factory programmed to 001011. The address pin, ADR (Pin 4) is programmed by the user and determines the LSB of the slave address and it can be selected by an onboard SMD jumper labeled as ADD SEL allowing selection of the slave address LSB.
The Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ can be supplied and interfaced with both 3.3V and 5V without the need for any external components. The onboard SMD jumper labeled as VCC SEL allows voltage selection for interfacing with both 3.3V and 5V microcontrollers. More information about the LTC6904 can be found in the attached datasheet. However, this Click board™ comes equipped with a library that contains easy to use functions and an example that may be used as a reference for development.

Additional Notes and Information
Depending on the development board you are using, you may need a USB UART click, USB UART 2 click or RS232 click to connect to your PC, for development systems with no UART to USB interface available on the board. The terminal available in all MikroElektronika compilers, or any other terminal application of your choice, can be used to read the message.
MIKROSDK
The Clock Gen 3 Click Board™ is supported with mikroSDK - MikroElektronika Software Development Kit. To ensure proper operation of mikroSDK compliant Click board™ demo applications, mikroSDK should be downloaded from the LibStock and installed for the compiler you are using.
