Product details
Overview
DS1044R-7 from Dallas Semiconductor is a 4-channel silicon delay line IC delivering precise, independent 7 ns nominal propagation delays (tPLH/tPHL) with ±1.5 ns initial tolerance and ±1.0 ns additional variation over 0°C–70°C and 4.75 V–5.25 V supply. Each output drives up to 10 LS TTL loads and preserves input signal symmetry via leading/trailing edge accuracy. It serves in high-speed digital timing alignment for logic synchronization and clock deskewing.
For engineers reviewing the DS1044R-7 datasheet, DS1044R-7 pinout, DS1044R-7 application, or DS1044R-7 equivalent, key selection criteria include guaranteed 7 ns delay stability across voltage/temperature, 14-pin SOIC (150 mil) packaging, four buffered outputs with no internal interconnect, and compatibility with standard 5 V TTL/LS logic families.
Technical Context
The DS1044R-7 implements four electrically isolated, logic-buffered delay paths within a single monolithic silicon die-each path provides identical 7 ns nominal tPLH/tPHL delay under +5 V, 25°C conditions. Delay accuracy is specified for both rising and falling edges, with symmetrical rise/fall times ≤2.5 ns and input pulse width ≥100% of tap delay.
It operates strictly at +5 V (4.75–5.25 V), draws 45 mA typical active current, and supports full 0°C–70°C industrial temperature range. The device requires no external components, has no internal feedback or programmability, and relies on fixed all-silicon delay elements-not RC or analog-based timing.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Nominal delay | 7 ns per output (tPLH/tPHL); enables precise 7 ns skew correction between parallel data/clock lines |
| Initial delay tolerance | ±1.5 ns at +25°C, VCC = 5.0 V; sets baseline timing margin for board-level timing budgeting |
| Tolerance over temp/voltage | ±1.0 ns (0°C–70°C, 4.75–5.25 V); ensures total delay deviation stays within ±2.5 ns across operating range |
| Output drive strength | 12 mA sink / –1.0 mA source at VOH = 4.0 V, VOL = 0.5 V; directly interfaces 74F04-equivalent loads without buffering |
| Rise/fall time | ≤2.5 ns (20%–80%); maintains signal integrity for >200 MHz edge rates in high-speed logic systems |
| Supply current | 45 mA typical at VCC = 5.25 V, 1 µs period; defines power rail demand for multi-delay-line timing subsystems |
Pinout & Package
DS1044R-7 is housed in a 14-pin SOIC package (150 mil width), pin-compatible with the DIP variant but optimized for surface-mount assembly. All NC pins are unconnected and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1, 3, 8, 14 | NC | No internal connection; must be left unconnected on PCB |
| 2, 4, 5, 6 | IN1–IN4 | Independent TTL/LS-compatible inputs; each triggers its corresponding delayed output |
| 7, 9, 10, 11 | OUT1–OUT4 | Buffered, delayed outputs; each delivers identical 7 ns delay with full LS-TTL drive capability |
| 12 | VCC | +5 V power supply pin; requires local 0.1 µF ceramic decoupling to GND |
| 13 | GND | Ground reference for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must connect to low-impedance system ground plane |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Four independent delay paths | Enables simultaneous, non-interacting timing adjustment of four signal lines-no crosstalk or shared delay element limitations |
| All-silicon construction | Eliminates aging, drift, and environmental sensitivity associated with RC or crystal-based delay solutions |
| Leading & trailing edge precision | Maintains 50% duty cycle integrity across all outputs-critical for clock distribution and synchronous sampling |
| Standard 14-pin SOIC footprint | Supports automated SMT placement and reflow (vapor phase, IR, wave solderable); compatible with legacy DIP layouts via adapter |
| 10 LS-TTL load drive per output | Drives fanout without external buffers-reduces component count and layout complexity in dense logic systems |
Applications

IC Role / Device Role / Timing Role: DS1044R-7 compensates for slower peripheral response by delaying faster master-side control signals to meet slave setup windows. Use Value: Extends usable life of aging bus architectures without redesigning timing-critical control logic. |
Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar high-speed fixed-delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1044-7 (DIP) | Same electrical specs and delay value; differs only in 14-pin PDIP package instead of SOIC | Preferred for prototyping, through-hole assembly, or legacy DIP-based systems | Select DS1044-7 when manual soldering, breadboarding, or socket-based testing is required |
| MC100ELT24DG | 4-channel ECL/TTL translator with 2.4 ns typical propagation delay; not a fixed-delay device-delay varies with loading and supply | Suitable for level-shifting with minimal added delay, not for precise skew correction | Choose MC100ELT24DG only if signal translation is primary need and <1 ns delay stability is not required |
Compared with DS1044-7 and MC100ELT24DG, the DS1044R-7 uniquely delivers factory-trimmed 7 ns delay in a surface-mount package with ±1.0 ns thermal/voltage stability-making it the only option among the three qualified for deterministic, repeatable skew management in production-grade 5 V TTL systems.

FAQ
What is the guaranteed delay accuracy of DS1044R-7 over its full operating temperature and voltage range?
The DS1044R-7 guarantees a total delay deviation of ±2.5 ns maximum: ±1.5 ns initial tolerance at +25°C/VCC=5.0 V, plus ±1.0 ns additional variation across 0°C–70°C and 4.75 V–5.25 V. This applies identically to both tPLH and tPHL for all four outputs, measured at the 1.5 V switching threshold.
Can DS1044R-7 be used with 3.3 V logic systems?
No. The DS1044R-7 is specified exclusively for +5 V operation (4.75–5.25 V). Its input thresholds (VIH ≥2.2 V, VIL ≤0.8 V) and output drive levels (VOH ≥4.0 V, VOL ≤0.5 V) are designed for TTL/LS compatibility. Using it with 3.3 V supplies risks undefined logic states, excessive current draw, or permanent damage due to absolute maximum ratings violation.
Are the four delay paths in DS1044R-7 electrically isolated from each other?
Yes. The DS1044R-7 contains four fully independent delay circuits sharing only VCC and GND rails. There is no internal coupling, shared delay element, or cross-talk path between IN1/OUT1, IN2/OUT2, IN3/OUT3, and IN4/OUT4. Each channel operates autonomously with identical 7 ns delay and timing characteristics.
Does DS1044R-7 require external passive components for stable operation?
No. The DS1044R-7 is a self-contained delay line requiring only proper power supply decoupling: a 0.1 µF ceramic capacitor placed between VCC (pin 12) and GND (pin 13) as close to the package as possible. No resistors, capacitors, or inductors are needed for basic delay functionality or signal integrity.
How does DS1044R-7 differ from DS1044-7 in terms of performance and compatibility?
The DS1044R-7 and DS1044-7 share identical electrical specifications, delay value (7 ns), tolerances, timing parameters, and pin functions. Their sole difference is packaging: DS1044R-7 uses a 14-pin SOIC (150 mil), while DS1044-7 uses a 14-pin PDIP. Both are drop-in replacements electrically and functionally-only PCB footprint and assembly process differ.
