Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated DS1100Z-150

Overview

DS1100Z-150 from Maxim Integrated is a 5-tap silicon delay line IC delivering precisely spaced delays of 30ns, 60ns, 90ns, 120ns, and 150ns at each tap under 5V operation. It reproduces both leading and trailing edges with ±4ns tolerance over -40°C to +85°C, drives up to 10 LS-TTL loads per tap, and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150 mil) package. It serves as a stable, all-silicon replacement for hybrid delay lines in digital timing alignment circuits.

For engineers reviewing the DS1100Z-150 datasheet, DS1100Z-150 pinout, DS1100Z-150 application, or DS1100Z-150 equivalent, key selection criteria include tap delay accuracy across temperature, TTL/CMOS compatibility, low-power CMOS operation, solderability (vapor-phase, IR, wave), and industrial-grade operating range (-40°C to +85°C).

Technical Context

The DS1100Z-150 implements a fixed, passive silicon delay line architecture-no PLL, clock synthesis, or programmable logic. Each of its five taps provides a deterministic, monotonic delay relative to the input signal, with all taps tracking unidirectionally under voltage or temperature variation.

Delay values are factory-trimmed and specified at 1.5V switching threshold; tPLH and tPHL are matched within ±4ns over full industrial temperature range. Input pulse width must exceed 20% of Tap 5 delay (i.e., ≥30ns), and device operates only at 5V ±5%, with active current draw ≤50mA at 1MHz.

Key Specifications

Pinout & Package

FAQ

What is the nominal delay of each tap on the DS1100Z-150?

The DS1100Z-150 provides five equally spaced delays: TAP1 = 30ns, TAP2 = 60ns, TAP3 = 90ns, TAP4 = 120ns, and TAP5 = 150ns, all measured at the 1.5V logic threshold under 5V supply and +25°C. These values are factory-trimmed and specified across the full -40°C to +85°C operating range with monotonic tracking behavior.

Is the DS1100Z-150 compatible with 3.3V logic systems?

No, the DS1100Z-150 is strictly a 5V-only device, with absolute maximum VCC of 6.0V and minimum operating VCC of 4.75V. Its input thresholds (VIH ≥2.2V, VIL ≤0.8V) and output drive levels are optimized for 5V TTL/CMOS families. Interfacing with 3.3V systems requires level-shifting circuitry.

Does the DS1100Z-150 require external configuration or programming?

No, the DS1100Z-150 is a fully passive, fixed-delay silicon device with no registers, clocks, or configuration interfaces. Delay values are hardwired during fabrication; no power-up initialization, firmware, or external control signals are needed. It begins operating immediately upon valid 5V supply and input signal application.

Can multiple taps of the DS1100Z-150 drive separate loads simultaneously?

Yes, each tap (TAP1–TAP5) can independently drive up to 10 LS-TTL loads (or equivalent capacitive load ≤50pF) without degradation in delay accuracy or edge fidelity. The outputs are electrically isolated and do not interact, enabling concurrent use of any combination of taps in a single DS1100Z-150.

What is the maximum input frequency supported by the DS1100Z-150?

The DS1100Z-150 does not specify a maximum input frequency, but AC characterization assumes a 1MHz input (1μs period). For reliable operation, input pulse width must exceed 20% of Tap 5 delay (≥30ns), and period must be ≥2× pulse width. At higher frequencies, delay accuracy may degrade due to layout-dependent factors like decoupling and trace inductance.
