Programmable silicon oscillator — one resistor sets the frequency
The LTC6904CMS8#TRPBF is a silicon oscillator whose output frequency is programmed by a single external resistor, covering 1 kHz to 68 MHz without needing a crystal or ceramic resonator. This makes it a drop-in replacement for discrete oscillator circuits in designs where a wide tuning range or quick frequency changes are needed.
8-MSOP package — board-fit for tight layouts
Supplied in an 8-MSOP package (3.00 mm width), the LTC6904CMS8#TRPBF is a surface-mount device that sits on the same footprint as the 8-TSSOP option. The 0.65 mm pin pitch is standard for this body size, so layout guidelines from the datasheet apply without special routing rules. The commercial temperature range of 0°C to 70°C covers indoor equipment, bench instrumentation, and consumer electronics — not extended industrial or automotive environments.
Active lifecycle — no LTB pressure
The Tape & Reel suffix (TRPBF) means it ships on 7-inch or 13-inch reels suitable for automated pick-and-place. The same die is also available in tube format as LTC6904CMS8#PBF for prototype or low-volume builds.
