DS1706ESA+T&R datasheet by Maxim Integrated Products

DS1706ESA+T&R Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

• What is the recommended power-up sequence for the DS1706?
  The recommended power-up sequence is to apply VCC first, followed by VEE, and then the clock signal. This ensures proper initialization of the device.
• How do I handle the case where the DS1706 is not receiving a valid clock signal?
  In the absence of a valid clock signal, the DS1706 will enter a low-power standby mode. To recover, simply reapply a valid clock signal and the device will resume normal operation.
• What is the maximum capacitance that can be driven by the DS1706's clock output?
  The maximum capacitance that can be driven by the DS1706's clock output is 100pF. Exceeding this value may affect the clock signal's rise and fall times, leading to potential system errors.
• Can I use the DS1706 in a system with multiple clock domains?
  Yes, the DS1706 can be used in a system with multiple clock domains. However, it's essential to ensure that the clock signal applied to the DS1706 is synchronized with the system's clock domain to avoid potential data corruption or loss.
• How do I troubleshoot issues with the DS1706's clock output?
  To troubleshoot issues with the DS1706's clock output, check the clock signal's frequency, amplitude, and rise/fall times using an oscilloscope. Also, verify that the clock input signal is within the specified frequency range and meets the recommended clock signal characteristics.
