Product details
Overview
DS1040Z-250+ from Maxim Integrated (formerly Dallas Semiconductor) is a rising-edge-triggered, CMOS-based programmable one-shot pulse generator with five selectable pulse widths ranging from 50 ns to 250 ns in unequal increments (50/100/150/200/250 ns), ±5% or ±2 ns width tolerance, and dual inverting/non-inverting outputs for laser power control in magneto-optical disk read/write systems.
For engineers reviewing the DS1040Z-250+ datasheet, DS1040Z-250+ pinout, DS1040Z-250+ application, or DS1040Z-250+ equivalent, key selection criteria include intrinsic delay ≤10 ns, TTL/CMOS compatibility, 5 V supply operation, 8-pin SOIC package, and guaranteed drive capability of five 74LS loads per output.
Technical Context
The DS1040Z-250+ implements a parallel-programmed, edge-sensitive monostable multivibrator architecture where pulse width is determined by the logic states of three dedicated programming pins (P0–P2). It operates exclusively on a +5 V ±5% supply and produces both true and complement outputs simultaneously with no additional external logic.
Timing accuracy is maintained across 0°C to 70°C via internal trimming; width variation due to temperature is limited to ±1 ns or ±3%, whichever is greater. Intrinsic delay (tD) is specified at 0–10 ns, and power-up stabilization requires ≤100 ms before timing specifications are valid.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Max Pulse Width | 250 ns - sets upper limit for laser enable duration in optical write cycles |
| Width Tolerance | ±5% or ±2 ns - ensures repeatable timing margin for critical edge-aligned control |
| Intrinsic Delay | 0–10 ns - guarantees minimal latency between trigger and output activation |
| Supply Voltage | 4.75 V to 5.25 V - compatible with standard 5 V logic rails without regulation overhead |
| Output Drive | 5 × 74LS loads - supports direct interfacing to legacy TTL logic without buffers |
| Operating Temp | 0°C to 70°C - validated for commercial-grade embedded storage and industrial control environments |
| Input Trigger | Rising-edge only - eliminates false triggering from noise on falling edges |
Pinout & Package
DS1040Z-250+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil width) package, surface-mount compatible with vapor phase, IR, and wave soldering processes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN | Trigger Input | Rising-edge sensitive input; requires ≥5 ns minimum high/low pulse width |
| P0, P1, P2 | Width Programming Inputs | 3-bit parallel code selects one of five pulse widths (000 = 50 ns, 111 = 250 ns) |
| GND | Ground Reference | Return path for all internal logic and output drivers; must be low-impedance |
| OUT | Non-inverted Output | Active-high pulse synchronized to IN rising edge; drives 5 × 74LS loads |
| OUT | Inverted Output | Complementary active-low pulse; enables differential signaling or dual-gate control |
| VCC | Power Supply | +5 V ±5% supply; decoupling capacitor required near pin for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable Pulse Widths | Five discrete widths (50/100/150/200/250 ns) selected via static logic inputs - eliminates need for external RC timing networks |
| Dual Complementary Outputs | Simultaneous true and inverted pulses - enables push-pull laser driver control or redundant signal paths |
| Low-Power CMOS Design | Typical ICC = 35 mA at min period - reduces thermal load and simplifies power delivery in dense PCB layouts |
| Stable Width Accuracy | ±5% or ±2 ns tolerance over temperature - meets tight jitter budgets in optical servo loops |
| Auto-Insertable Packaging | 8-pin SOIC footprint - supports automated assembly and rework without lead bending or spacing issues |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable one-shot applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1040M-250+ | Same electrical specs and programming logic, but in 8-pin DIP (300-mil) package | Preferred for through-hole prototyping or legacy repair; incompatible with SMT production lines | Select DS1040M-250+ only when manual assembly or socket-based testing is required |
| MAX7360EPA+ | Single-channel, fixed 250 ns width; no programming pins; higher supply voltage range (2.7–5.5 V) | Lacks width flexibility; suited for cost-sensitive, single-width applications with mixed-voltage systems | Choose MAX7360EPA+ only if programmability is unnecessary and 2.7 V operation is mandatory |

FAQ
What is the maximum pulse width supported by the DS1040Z-250+?
The DS1040Z-250+ supports a maximum pulse width of 250 ns, corresponding to the binary code '111' applied to programming pins P2–P0. This value is factory-trimmed and guaranteed within ±5% or ±2 ns, whichever is greater, across 0°C to 70°C ambient conditions. The DS1040Z-250+ does not support widths beyond 250 ns - wider pulses require alternative part numbers such as DS1040-500.
Does the DS1040Z-250+ require external components for basic operation?
No, the DS1040Z-250+ operates autonomously with only a +5 V supply, ground, and trigger input. No external resistors or capacitors are needed for timing generation. A 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling capacitor between VCC and GND is recommended near the device for noise suppression, but it is not required for functional operation of the DS1040Z-250+.
Can the DS1040Z-250+ drive standard TTL logic directly?
Yes, each output of the DS1040Z-250+ is rated to drive up to five 74LS loads under standard conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = 25°C). This capability allows direct interface with legacy TTL families without level-shifting or buffering. The DS1040Z-250+ maintains valid logic levels across its full operating temperature range, ensuring reliable interoperability with 74LS devices.
What is the intrinsic delay of the DS1040Z-250+ and how is it measured?
The intrinsic delay (tD) of the DS1040Z-250+ is defined as the time between the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the IN trigger and the 1.5 V point on the rising edge of the OUT pulse. It is guaranteed to be 0–10 ns under typical conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = 25°C). This specification applies identically to both non-inverted and inverted outputs of the DS1040Z-250+.
Is the DS1040Z-250+ RoHS compliant and lead-free?
Yes, the DS1040Z-250+ is RoHS compliant and features lead-free terminations. The 'Z' suffix in the part number explicitly denotes compliance with EU RoHS Directive 2011/65/EU and JEDEC JS-001 standards. The device uses matte tin plating on its SOIC leads and meets IPC/JEDEC J-STD-020 moisture sensitivity level 1 (MSL-1), making it suitable for standard reflow profiles without baking.
