Product details
Overview
DS1123LE-200+ from Maxim Integrated is an 8-bit programmable delay line operating at 3.3V, delivering 2ns step resolution and up to 510ns maximum delay with respect to REF output. It functions as a delay line, monostable vibrator, or free-running oscillator, and supports both parallel and 3-wire serial programming. Used in digital video projection for pixel clock phase alignment and jitter reduction.
For engineers reviewing the DS1123LE-200+ datasheet, DS1123LE-200+ pinout, DS1123LE-200+ application, or DS1123LE-200+ equivalent, key selection criteria include step size (2ns), max delay (510ns), reference delay matching (18–22ns), and dual-mode operation (delay/oscillator/PWM) under 3.3V supply.
Technical Context
The DS1123LE-200+ implements an 8-bit latch-driven 256-step delay architecture using cascaded unit delay cells, enabling full-period signal delay and 0–360° phase shifting. Its on-chip reference delay (tREF = 18–22ns) matches step-zero delay (tD0 = 16.5–22ns) to support precise differential timing relative to REF/PWM.
It supports three functional modes via MS pin: delay line (MS = 0), monostable vibrator or PWM (MS = 1), and free-running oscillator (MS = 1 with OUT→IN feedback). Programming uses either 8-bit parallel interface (P0–P7, LE, P/S = GND) or 3-wire serial interface (CLK, D, Q, P/S = VCC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay Step Size | 2ns typical - enables coarse but stable phase adjustment suitable for high-speed clock retiming where sub-100ps precision is not required. |
| Max Delay (vs REF) | 510ns - supports full-cycle delay of ≤2MHz input clocks or pulse-width modulation up to 510ns in monostable mode. |
| Reference Delay (tREF) | 18–22ns - tightly matched to step-zero delay (tD0), allowing near-zero relative delay generation between OUT and REF outputs. |
| Supply Voltage | +3.0V to +3.6V - single 3.3V rail operation compatible with modern low-voltage logic families and eliminates need for level-shifting. |
| Integral Nonlinearity | ±5ns - deviation from ideal linear delay vs step count; impacts absolute timing accuracy in calibration-critical applications. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to +70°C - commercial-grade range suitable for telecom infrastructure, test equipment, and digital video systems without extended thermal management. |
| Input Pulse Width Min | 40ns - defines shortest reliable trigger pulse; critical for monostable retriggering and high-frequency delay programming stability. |
Pinout & Package
DS1123LE-200+ is housed in a 16-pin TSSOP (150-mil) package with exposed pad grounded per Maxim's recommended layout. Pin pitch is 0.65mm; body dimensions are 5.0mm × 4.4mm × 1.2mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 IN | Signal Input / PWM Trigger | Primary input for delay line or monostable triggering; accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible 3.3V signals with min 40ns pulse width. |
| 2 LE | Latch Enable | Active-high control for parallel programming; latches P0–P7 data when falling edge occurs (or holds transparent if tied high). |
| 3 P0/Q | Parallel Bit 0 / Serial Data Out | In parallel mode: LSB data input; in serial mode: daisy-chain output for reading back or cascading multiple devices. |
| 4 P1/CLK | Parallel Bit 1 / Serial Clock | In parallel mode: bit-1 input; in serial mode: shift clock input synchronized with D to load 8-bit delay value. |
| 5 P2/D | Parallel Bit 2 / Serial Data In | In parallel mode: bit-2 input; in serial mode: serial data input accepting MSB-first 8-bit delay configuration. |
| 9 REF/PWM | Reference Output / PWM Output | Provides fixed-delay reference (18–22ns) for differential timing; becomes PWM output when MS = 1 and triggered by IN. |
| 11 MS | Mode Select | Ground = delay line; VCC = monostable/PWM or oscillator (with OUT→IN feedback); determines core functional behavior. |
| 14 P/S | Parallel/Serial Select | GND = parallel interface enabled; VCC = 3-wire serial interface enabled; configures physical programming path. |
| 15 OUT/OUT | Delayed Output / Inverted Output | Primary delayed signal output; inverted version available via internal logic; delay accuracy referenced to REF in precision applications. |
| 16 VCC | Power Supply | 3.3V supply input; requires local 0.01µF + 0.1µF ceramic decoupling per Maxim layout guidelines to maintain timing stability. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar programmable delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1023S-200+ | 5V-only supply; same 2ns step size and 510ns max delay; no REF output; lacks monostable/PWM mode. | Restricted to legacy 5V systems; cannot perform differential timing or PWM generation. | Select only if 5V operation is mandatory and REF-based alignment is unnecessary. |
| LMK03806RGTT | Integrated jitter cleaner with PLL; programmable delay via SPI; 1ps resolution; 3.3V supply; includes clock distribution fanout. | Higher complexity and cost; targets ultra-low-jitter clock synthesis rather than discrete delay insertion. | Choose when system-level jitter attenuation and multi-output distribution outweigh need for simple, low-cost delay tuning. |
Compared with DS1123LE-200+, DS1023S-200+ offers identical delay capability but lacks 3.3V compatibility and REF-based differential timing, while LMK03806RGTT provides superior resolution and jitter performance at the expense of integration overhead and cost-making DS1123LE-200+ optimal for discrete, low-cost, 3.3V programmable delay insertion.

FAQ
What is the maximum delay achievable with DS1123LE-200+ in delay line mode?
The DS1123LE-200+ achieves a maximum delay of 510ns with respect to the REF output in delay line mode (MS = 0). This value is specified under VCC = +3.0V to +3.6V and TA = 0°C to +70°C, and corresponds to the full 256-step range with 2ns per step. The actual delay measured from IN to OUT (tDMAX) is 527ns, but system-level timing alignment relies on the REF-referenced value for accuracy.
Can DS1123LE-200+ generate a true zero-delay output?
Yes, DS1123LE-200+ can generate a near-zero relative delay between OUT and REF outputs. Because the step-zero delay (tD0 = 16.5–22ns) is intentionally ~1ns faster than the reference delay (tREF = 18–22ns), configuring for step-zero yields tD0REF = –2.5 to 0ns - enabling effective zero-crossing or edge-coincidence applications when referencing OUT to REF rather than to IN.
How does the 3-wire serial interface of DS1123LE-200+ support daisy-chaining?
The DS1123LE-200+ supports daisy-chaining via its Q output (pin 3), which acts as a serial data-out during read cycles. When multiple devices share CLK, D, and LE lines with P/S = VCC, each device shifts its 8-bit register content to the next in sequence. A microprocessor must clock exactly 8 × N bits per transaction to avoid corrupting settings - e.g., 24 bits for three DS1123LE-200+ units - ensuring deterministic cascade behavior without additional I/O pins.
What is the minimum input pulse width required for reliable monostable operation of DS1123LE-200+?
The DS1123LE-200+ requires a minimum input pulse width of 40ns for reliable monostable operation (MS = 1). This specification ensures proper triggering of the internal monostable circuit and avoids metastability or missed pulses. Pulses narrower than 40ns may result in inconsistent output pulse generation or failure to trigger, especially across temperature and voltage extremes.
Does DS1123LE-200+ support both noninverting and inverting delay outputs?
Yes, DS1123LE-200+ provides both noninverting and inverting delay outputs. Pin 15 (OUT/OUT) delivers the standard delayed signal, while the inverted version is accessible through the same pin via internal logic selection - confirmed by the "OUT/OUT" dual-label designation and functional diagram showing inversion capability. The delta delay between them (tINV0) is specified at 0–2.5ns, supporting complementary clock distribution or differential signaling setups.
