Product details
Overview
DS1033Z-25 from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a low-voltage, all-silicon 3-channel delay line IC operating at 3.3 V with ±2.0 ns initial delay tolerance, ±2.0 ns temperature/voltage tolerance (0°C to 70°C, VCC = 3.3 V), and matched 25 ns nominal delay per output (tPLH/tPHL). It is used in high-speed digital timing alignment for clock skew correction and signal synchronization in FPGA-based communication interfaces.
For engineers reviewing the DS1033Z-25 datasheet, DS1033Z-25 pinout, DS1033Z-25 application, or DS1033Z-25 equivalent, key selection considerations include its triple independent buffered delay architecture, leading/trailing edge precision, SOIC-8 (150-mil) package compatibility, and guaranteed delay stability across voltage (2.7–3.6 V) and temperature (0–70°C).
Technical Context
The DS1033Z-25 implements three identical, logic-buffered delay paths with fully independent inputs and outputs. Each path delivers precisely matched 25 ns propagation delay (tPLH and tPHL) under nominal conditions (25°C, 3.3 V), preserving input pulse symmetry via tight edge-to-edge accuracy.
It operates within a 2.7–3.6 V supply range and draws ≤25 mA active current. Its design eliminates quartz-based drift and aging effects, offering silicon-level reliability with no external components required for basic delay functionality.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Nominal Delay | 25 ns per output (tPLH/tPHL), enabling precise inter-channel timing alignment |
| Initial Tolerance | ±2.0 ns at +25°C, 3.3 V - sets baseline accuracy before environmental variation |
| T/V Tolerance | ±2.0 ns over 0–70°C and 2.7–3.6 V - ensures stable delay in industrial power/thermal conditions |
| Supply Voltage | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern 3.3 V logic families and LDO-regulated systems |
| Output Drive | 8 mA sink / –1 mA source at 2.7 V - sufficient to drive one 74F04-equivalent load per output |
| Input Capacitance | 10 pF max - minimizes loading on upstream drivers and preserves signal integrity |
Pinout & Package
DS1033Z-25 is supplied in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package with standard JEDEC outline MS-012AA. Pin 1 is marked by a beveled corner or dot; substrate pins are internally connected and must remain unconnected externally.

| 5 (VCC) | Supply Voltage | +3.3 V power rail (2.7–3.6 V range); decoupling capacitor mandatory near pin |
| 6 (OUT3) | Output 3 | Buffered 25 ns delayed replica of IN3, with matched rise/fall time (2.0–3.5 ns) |
| 7 (OUT1) | Output 1 | Buffered 25 ns delayed replica of IN1, edge-aligned to preserve input duty cycle |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1033M-25 | DIP-8 package; same electrical specs and delay accuracy; higher thermal resistance (θJA ≈ 90°C/W vs. SOIC's 130°C/W) | Preferred for prototyping, through-hole assembly, or legacy board upgrades requiring socket compatibility | Select DS1033M-25 only when manual assembly or DIP footprint reuse is required; SOIC offers superior thermal performance and density |
| MAX9992ETE+T | Single-channel, 25 ns delay; ±1.0 ns initial tolerance; 3.3 V operation; TDFN-8 package; includes enable control | Used where per-channel gating or lower delay tolerance is needed; lacks triple-output integration | Choose MAX9992ETE+T if dynamic enable/disable capability or tighter initial tolerance is prioritized over channel count and cost-per-delay |
Compared with DS1033M-25 and MAX9992ETE+T, the DS1033Z-25 uniquely delivers three matched 25 ns delays in a space-efficient SOIC-8 package without enable logic - optimizing BOM count and layout simplicity for static multi-signal alignment tasks.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed delay accuracy of DS1033Z-25 over temperature and voltage?
The DS1033Z-25 guarantees ±2.0 ns delay tolerance over the full operating temperature range (0°C to 70°C) and supply voltage range (2.7 V to 3.6 V) when measured at the 1.5 V threshold. This specification includes both initial calibration error and additional variation due to environmental stress, ensuring predictable timing behavior in industrial-grade systems where DS1033Z-25 is deployed.
Can DS1033Z-25 be used with 5 V logic inputs?
No - DS1033Z-25 is specified only for 3.3 V operation (2.7–3.6 V). Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V) are compatible with 3.3 V CMOS/TTL, but 5 V inputs exceed the absolute maximum rating of +6.0 V on any pin and may cause latch-up or permanent damage. For 5 V systems, level-shifting or a 5 V-compatible alternative like DS1035-25 must be used instead of DS1033Z-25.
Does DS1033Z-25 require external decoupling capacitors?
Yes - a minimum 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor must be placed as close as possible to the VCC (pin 5) and GND (pin 4) pins of DS1033Z-25. This is required to suppress supply noise induced by simultaneous output switching, which otherwise degrades delay stability and increases jitter. Failure to implement proper decoupling will cause DS1033Z-25 to exceed its ±2.0 ns tolerance specification under dynamic load conditions.
Are the three delay paths in DS1033Z-25 truly independent?
Yes - DS1033Z-25 features three fully isolated delay paths with separate input and output pins (IN1/OUT1, IN2/OUT2, IN3/OUT3). Electrical crosstalk between paths is < –40 dB, and propagation delay matching across all three paths is maintained within ±0.5 ns under nominal conditions. This independence allows DS1033Z-25 to simultaneously delay unrelated signals without mutual interference - a core requirement in its target applications.
Is DS1033Z-25 RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes - DS1033Z-25 is manufactured in a RoHS-compliant, lead-free process and meets JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level (MSL) 1 requirements. The SOIC-8 package uses matte tin (Sn) termination and supports standard lead-free reflow profiles (peak 260°C for 10 seconds), making DS1033Z-25 suitable for modern high-reliability electronics manufacturing without exemption requests.
