Programmable low-frequency oscillator for long-period timing
The LTC6995IDCB-2#TRMPBF is a silicon oscillator from the TimerBlox® family that generates a programmable square-wave output from 29.1 µHz up to 977 Hz. That bottom end — one cycle every 9.5 hours — is where a quartz crystal or MEMS resonator cannot go without an external counter chain. The frequency is set by a single external resistor and the internal master oscillator; no external timing capacitor or crystal is needed. Supply current is 135 µA typical, and the part operates from 2.25 V to 5.5 V, so it can run directly off a 3.3 V or 5 V rail without a dedicated regulator.
Active production and sourcing posture
No end-of-life notice or successor has been issued. This part is available for order against BOM quantities; current pricing and lead time are confirmed at quote time. The package is a 6-lead WFDFN with exposed pad, supplier device package 6-DFN (2x3 mm).
Package and footprint for layout
The LTC6995IDCB-2#TRMPBF is supplied in a 6-WFDFN exposed pad package, with a 2x3 mm body. The part is surface-mount and is offered in Tape & Reel (TR) and Cut Tape (CT) options.
Functional alternative within the same series
The closest functional sibling is the LTC6995IDCB-1#TRMPBF, which shares the same TimerBlox® series, supply voltage range, and package. The key difference is the frequency range: the -2 variant (this part) covers 29.1 µHz to 977 Hz, while the -1 variant covers a higher band. If your design requires a faster output, the -1 may be a better fit; for sub-Hz timing, the -2 is the correct choice.
