What the LTC6991HS6#TRMPBF is and where it fits
The LTC6991HS6#TRMPBF is a silicon oscillator from Analog Devices' TimerBlox® family, designed to generate extremely long timing periods — from 29.1 µHz up to 977 Hz — using a single external resistor. It runs from a 2.25 V to 5.5 V supply and draws 135 µA typical. The TSOT-23-6 package keeps the footprint small, and the -40°C to 125°C operating range suits industrial, automotive, and outdoor equipment where a microcontroller's internal RC timer drifts too much or a crystal is overkill.
Lifecycle and sourcing
The LTC6991HS6#TRMPBF is listed as Active on the manufacturer's lifecycle record, so there is no immediate end-of-life risk for new designs. It is ROHS3 compliant.
