Product details
Overview
DS1100LU-20+T from Maxim Integrated is a 3.3V, 5-tap silicon delay line in an 8-pin µMAX package, delivering precise fixed delays of 4ns, 8ns, 12ns, 16ns, and 20ns across taps. It reproduces both leading and trailing edges with ±2ns tolerance at +25°C/3.3V and drives up to 10 LS-TTL loads per tap. Used in high-speed timing alignment for test equipment and digital signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DS1100LU-20+T datasheet, DS1100LU-20+T pinout, DS1100LU-20+T application, or DS1100LU-20+T equivalent, key selection criteria include tap delay accuracy over -40°C to +85°C, 3.3V CMOS/TTL compatibility, µMAX footprint constraints, and edge-fidelity requirements in pulse-shaping circuits.
Technical Context
The DS1100LU-20+T implements a monolithic all-silicon delay architecture with five equally spaced output taps referenced to a single input. Delay values are factory-trimmed and specified at 1.5V switching threshold with ±2ns (≤40ns delays) or ±5% (>40ns delays) tolerance over temperature and voltage.
Each tap operates with matched rise/fall times (2.0–2.5ns), low active current (10mA typical at 1MHz), and full rail-to-rail logic-level compatibility - supporting direct interface to 74LS, 74F, and modern CMOS logic without level shifting.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage | 3.0V to 3.6V - ensures stable operation across industrial 3.3V rails with ±0.3V margin |
| TAP 1 Delay | 4ns nominal - enables sub-nanosecond-aligned sampling in high-speed test fixtures |
| Delay Tolerance | ±2ns at +25°C/3.3V - guarantees deterministic timing for edge-sensitive synchronization |
| Output Drive | 8mA sink / -1mA source - directly interfaces to 10× 74LS loads without buffering |
| Operating Temp | -40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial control and automotive under-hood environments |
| Rise/Fall Time | 2.0–2.5ns - preserves signal integrity in <100MHz digital timing paths |
Pinout & Package
DS1100LU-20+T uses the 8-pin µMAX package (U8+1 outline, 3mm × 3mm body, 0.65mm pitch), optimized for high-density PCB layouts with vapor-phase and IR solder compatibility.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Input Signal | Accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic transitions; defines all tap delay references |
| 2 TAP 2 | Delay Output | Delivers input signal delayed by 8ns; electrically identical to other taps |
| 3 TAP 4 | Delay Output | Delivers input signal delayed by 16ns; supports multi-stage pipeline alignment |
| 4 GND | Ground Reference | Common return path for all I/O and supply; requires low-inductance PCB connection |
| 5 TAP 5 | Delay Output | Delivers input signal delayed by 20ns; final stage in 5-tap sequence |
| 6 TAP 3 | Delay Output | Delivers input signal delayed by 12ns; midpoint for symmetric delay distribution |
| 7 TAP 1 | Delay Output | Delivers input signal delayed by 4ns; shortest latency tap for fine-grained timing |
| 8 VCC | Power Supply | +3.3V supply pin; requires local 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per datasheet layout guidelines |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1100LZ-20+ | Same delay values and electrical specs, but in 8-pin SO (150-mil) package - larger footprint, higher thermal resistance | Better suited for prototyping or manual assembly where µMAX reflow is unavailable | Select when board space allows SO packaging and hand-soldering is preferred |
| ON Semiconductor MC100EP195DG | Differential ECL outputs, 3.3V supply, but only 2 programmable delay taps; no 4ns/8ns granularity | Targets high-speed serial link equalization, not multi-tap parallel timing alignment | Choose only for differential signaling paths requiring sub-100ps jitter performance |
Compared with DS1100LU-20+T, DS1100LZ-20+ offers identical timing functionality in a more manufacturable SO package, while MC100EP195DG serves fundamentally different high-speed differential applications - neither is pin-compatible, and substitution requires PCB layout revision and signal integrity reassessment.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating frequency supported by DS1100LU-20+T?
The DS1100LU-20+T does not specify a maximum operating frequency, but its AC characteristics are tested at 1MHz input. Higher frequencies increase ICC and may reduce delay accuracy due to layout sensitivity and decoupling limitations. For reliable operation beyond 1MHz, ensure tight power rail decoupling and minimize trace inductance near the DS1100LU-20+T input and outputs.
Does DS1100LU-20+T support both rising and falling edge delays?
Yes, DS1100LU-20+T reproduces both leading and trailing edges with equal precision - tPLH and tPHL are matched within ±2ns at +25°C/3.3V. This symmetry ensures pulse width integrity across all five taps, making DS1100LU-20+T suitable for applications requiring accurate duty-cycle preservation.
Is DS1100LU-20+T pin-compatible with other DS1100L variants?
Yes, all DS1100L variants including DS1100LU-20+T share identical 8-pin µMAX pinout and electrical behavior - only the nominal delay values differ. Replacing DS1100LU-20+T with DS1100LU-50+T requires no PCB changes, though timing-critical system validation is recommended due to altered delay intervals.
What is the meaning of the "+T" suffix in DS1100LU-20+T?
The "+T" suffix in DS1100LU-20+T indicates tape-and-reel packaging - specifically, the device is supplied in a standard 330mm reel format compatible with automated SMT placement equipment. The "+" denotes lead(Pb)-free/RoHS-compliant construction, and "T" confirms tape-and-reel delivery per Maxim's ordering conventions.
Can DS1100LU-20+T drive 74ACT logic inputs directly?
Yes, DS1100LU-20+T can drive 74ACT inputs directly: its IOL = 8mA and IOH = -1mA meet or exceed 74ACT fanout requirements (typical 74ACT input load is ~10µA). However, verify total capacitive loading - DS1100LU-20+T's CIN is 5–10pF, and excessive trace capacitance may degrade rise/fall times below the 2.0–2.5ns spec.
