Product details
Overview
DS1033Z-15 from Dallas Semiconductor (now Maxim Integrated) is a low-voltage, all-silicon 3-channel delay line IC operating at 2.7V–3.6V with nominal 15 ns per-output delay, ±1.5 ns initial tolerance, and precise leading/trailing edge matching for signal integrity in timing-critical digital systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1033Z-15 datasheet, DS1033Z-15 pinout, DS1033Z-15 application, or DS1033Z-15 equivalent, this device serves as a stable, solder-compatible replacement for quartz-based or RC delay solutions in clock deskewing, pulse width adjustment, and synchronous logic alignment where sub-nanosecond edge fidelity and voltage/temperature stability are required.
Technical Context
The DS1033Z-15 implements three independent buffered CMOS delay paths within a single 8-pin SOIC package, each delivering identical 15 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL) under nominal conditions (25°C, VCC = 3.3 V). It uses silicon-based delay elements-not RC networks or transmission lines-ensuring monotonic, voltage- and temperature-stable performance.
Delay accuracy is specified for both rising and falling edges (tPLH and tPHL), preserving input signal symmetry. Tolerance over full operating range (0°C to 70°C, VCC = 2.7 V to 3.6 V) is ±1.5 ns at 3.3 V and ±2.0 ns at 2.7 V, with output rise/fall times ≤3.5 ns into 15 pF load.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay per output | 15 ns - fixed, matched delay across IN1→OUT1, IN2→OUT2, IN3→OUT3 |
| Initial delay tolerance | ±1.5 ns at +25°C, VCC = 3.3 V - enables tight setup/hold margin control |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern 3.3 V logic families and low-power systems |
| Edge precision | Matched tPLH and tPHL - maintains 50% duty cycle integrity for clock distribution |
| Output drive strength | IOL = 8 mA, IOH = –1 mA at VCC = 2.7 V - sufficient to drive one 74F04 gate directly |
| Input capacitance | 10 pF max - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal edge rate |
| Operating temperature | 0°C to 70°C - commercial-grade rating suitable for industrial control and telecom infrastructure |
Pinout & Package
DS1033Z-15 is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package with gull-wing leads, compatible with vapor phase, IR, and wave soldering processes. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; substrate pins (Sub) are internally connected and must remain unconnected externally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN3 | Digital input signals | Three independent TTL/CMOS-compatible inputs accepting 0.0 V–3.0 V swing |
| OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 | Buffered delayed outputs | Each delivers identical 15 ns delay with matched rise/fall characteristics |
| VCC | Positive supply | Must be decoupled locally; supports 2.7 V–3.6 V operation |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry |
| NC | No connection | Unbonded pad; no external connection permitted |
| Sub (Pins 4 & 5) | Internal substrate tie | Internally connected to die substrate; must not be externally wired |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-silicon delay architecture | Eliminates drift, aging, and environmental sensitivity inherent in RC or crystal-based delays |
| Three independent buffered delays | Enables parallel delay of multiple control or clock signals without cross-talk or loading effects |
| Leading and trailing edge precision | Preserves input waveform symmetry - critical for duty-cycle-sensitive applications like clock recovery |
| ±1.5 ns initial tolerance | Reduces need for system-level calibration or trimming in production test |
| SOIC and DIP packaging options | Supports both automated SMT assembly (DS1033Z) and through-hole prototyping (DS1033M) |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1033M-15 | Same electrical specs; 8-pin DIP package instead of SOIC | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy board rework | Select DS1033M-15 when manual assembly or socket-based evaluation is required |
| MAX9622EUA+ | Single 15 ns delay channel; 8-pin µMAX package; higher ICC (35 mA) | Limited to single-signal delay; lacks triple-output integration | Choose MAX9622EUA+ only if space-constrained layout prohibits 8-pin SOIC or triple delay is unnecessary |
Compared with DS1033Z-15, DS1033M-15 offers identical timing performance in a through-hole format, while MAX9622EUA+ trades channel count and package size for slightly higher power consumption - making DS1033Z-15 optimal for multi-signal synchronization in compact SMT designs.

FAQ
What is the operating voltage range for DS1033Z-15?
The DS1033Z-15 operates over a supply voltage range of 2.7 V to 3.6 V, with nominal performance characterized at 3.3 V ±0.1 V. At 2.7 V, delay tolerance increases to ±2.0 ns, and output drive capability remains functional per DC specifications - enabling robust use in brown-out or battery-backed systems where DS1033Z-15 maintains defined timing behavior.
Does DS1033Z-15 support both rising and falling edge delays?
Yes, DS1033Z-15 specifies matched propagation delays for both rising (tPLH) and falling (tPHL) edges - each at 15 ns under nominal conditions. This edge symmetry ensures preserved duty cycle and minimal jitter accumulation in clock distribution or pulse-width modulation applications where DS1033Z-15 is deployed.
Can DS1033Z-15 be used in place of DS1033M-15?
DS1033Z-15 and DS1033M-15 share identical electrical specifications and timing performance; the only difference is package type - SOIC versus DIP. DS1033Z-15 is not a drop-in replacement on DIP footprints, but it is a direct functional substitute when migrating to surface-mount assembly. For DS1033Z-15, ensure PCB land pattern matches 150-mil SOIC dimensions and thermal profile supports lead-free soldering.
What is the maximum load capacitance supported by DS1033Z-15 outputs?
DS1033Z-15 is characterized with a 15 pF capacitive load per output, matching the input capacitance of one 74F04 gate. Rise/fall times are guaranteed ≤3.5 ns under this condition. Driving heavier loads may increase delay and degrade edge fidelity; for loads >15 pF, buffer amplification or layout optimization is recommended to maintain DS1033Z-15 timing accuracy.
Is DS1033Z-15 suitable for automotive applications?
No, DS1033Z-15 is rated for 0°C to 70°C operation and is not qualified to AEC-Q100 standards. Its commercial temperature grade makes it appropriate for industrial control, telecom infrastructure, and computing systems - but not for under-hood automotive environments. For automotive-grade alternatives, consult Maxim's automotive-qualified timing portfolio; DS1033Z-15 remains ideal for non-automotive timing-critical applications.
