Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated DS1100Z-60/T&R

Overview

DS1100Z-60/T&R from Maxim Integrated is a 5-tap silicon delay line providing fixed, equally spaced delays of 12ns, 24ns, 36ns, 48ns, and 60ns at 5V supply, with ±4ns tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. It reproduces both leading and trailing edges with equal precision and drives up to 10 LS-TTL loads per tap. Used in digital timing alignment, clock skew correction, and pulse-width adjustment circuits.

For engineers reviewing the DS1100Z-60/T&R datasheet, DS1100Z-60/T&R pinout, DS1100Z-60/T&R application, or DS1100Z-60/T&R equivalent, key selection criteria include tap delay accuracy across temperature, TTL/CMOS compatibility, SO-8 packaging, low-power CMOS operation, and industrial-grade reliability without hybrid construction.

Technical Context

The DS1100Z-60/T&R implements an all-silicon delay architecture with five discrete, monotonic output taps-no internal PLL or programmable logic. Delay values are factory-trimmed and stable across voltage (4.75V–5.25V) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C), with unidirectional drift: all taps slow or speed together under varying conditions.

Each tap delivers edge-aligned, logic-level-reproduced outputs referenced to the same 1.5V threshold for tPLH/tPHL measurement. Input accepts standard TTL/CMOS logic levels, and outputs meet LS-TTL drive capability (IOL = 12mA, IOH = -1mA) while consuming ≤50mA active current at 1MHz.

FAQ

What is the nominal delay value for each tap of the DS1100Z-60/T&R?

The DS1100Z-60/T&R provides five equally spaced nominal delays: TAP 1 = 12ns, TAP 2 = 24ns, TAP 3 = 36ns, TAP 4 = 48ns, and TAP 5 = 60ns. These values are factory-trimmed and specified at +25°C and 5V, with tolerance scaling based on delay magnitude and operating temperature range. All taps maintain identical edge fidelity for both rising and falling transitions.

Is the DS1100Z-60/T&R compatible with 3.3V logic systems?

No, the DS1100Z-60/T&R is designed exclusively for 5V operation (4.75V–5.25V). Its input thresholds (VIH ≥ 2.2V, VIL ≤ 0.8V) and output drive characteristics are optimized for TTL/CMOS 5V families. Connecting it directly to 3.3V logic may result in marginal switching or excessive input leakage; level translation is required for interoperability with 3.3V systems.

Does the DS1100Z-60/T&R require external passive components for stable operation?

No, the DS1100Z-60/T&R operates as a self-contained delay element with no external resistors, capacitors, or crystals required. A single 0.1µF ceramic decoupling capacitor placed near the VCC pin is the only recommended external component to ensure clean power delivery and minimize supply-induced jitter on delay accuracy.

Can multiple taps of the DS1100Z-60/T&R be used simultaneously without signal interference?

Yes, all five taps operate independently and concurrently from a single input. Each output is electrically isolated within the die and capable of driving up to 10 LS-TTL loads without crosstalk or loading-induced delay shift. Layout best practice is to route tap outputs with matched trace lengths if phase coherence across taps is critical.

What does the "/T&R" suffix indicate in DS1100Z-60/T&R?

The "/T&R" suffix in DS1100Z-60/T&R denotes tape-and-reel packaging - a standard carrier format for automated SMT placement. This version ships in moisture-sensitive packaging compliant with J-STD-020, with quantity and reel size conforming to industry standards (e.g., 2500 units per 13-inch reel). The underlying device is identical to DS1100Z-60 in electrical and thermal specifications.
