Product details
Overview
DS1135LU-20+ from Maxim Integrated is a 3V, 3-in-1 high-speed silicon delay line delivering three independent buffered delays of precisely 20 ns each (tPLH/tPHL), with ±1.0 ns initial tolerance and ±4.0 ns total variation over -40°C to +85°C. It preserves input signal symmetry via leading/trailing edge precision and is used in high-reliability timing alignment for FPGA clock deskew, memory interface synchronization, and digital logic signal conditioning.
For engineers reviewing the DS1135LU-20+ datasheet, DS1135LU-20+ pinout, DS1135LU-20+ application, or DS1135LU-20+ equivalent, key selection factors include guaranteed 20 ns per-output delay stability across voltage (2.7–3.6 V) and temperature, 2.5 ns max output rise/fall time, and SO-8 (150-mil) package compatibility with vapor-phase and IR reflow processes.
Technical Context
The DS1135LU-20+ implements all-silicon delay circuitry-no external capacitors or inductors-enabling deterministic, repeatable propagation delays unaffected by aging or EMI. Its three independent buffered outputs drive 74F04-equivalent loads with matched tPLH/tPHL characteristics.
Each delay path maintains <±1.0 ns initial accuracy at +25°C/3.3 V and sustains ≤±4.0 ns deviation across full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (2.7 V to 3.6 V), ensuring consistent timing margin in synchronous digital systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay per output | 20 ns (tPLH/tPHL), identical across all three outputs for precise multi-path alignment |
| Initial delay tolerance | ±1.0 ns at +25°C, 3.3 V - enables tight setup/hold margin without calibration |
| Temp/voltage tolerance | ±4.0 ns over -40°C to +85°C and 2.7–3.6 V - guarantees worst-case skew control |
| Output rise/fall time | 2.5 ns max - supports >300 MHz signal integrity in fast logic interfaces |
| Supply voltage range | 2.7 V to 3.6 V - compatible with modern 3V logic families and low-power systems |
| Power-up time | 1 ms - ensures stable delay operation within one millisecond of VCC application |
| Input capacitance | 10 pF - minimizes loading on preceding driver stages |
Pinout & Package
DS1135LU-20+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (150-mil width, outline 21-0041), RoHS-compliant (indicated by '+' suffix), and qualified for vapor-phase and IR reflow soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN3 | Dedicated input signals for each delay path | Accepts TTL/CMOS-compatible logic edges; VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V |
| OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 | Buffered delay outputs | Deliver 20 ns delayed copies with matched tPLH/tPHL and 2.5 ns max edge transition |
| VCC | Positive supply | 3V nominal (2.7–3.6 V); powers internal buffers and delay elements |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; required for noise immunity |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| All-silicon delay architecture | Eliminates external RC components and drift-prone analog elements for long-term timing stability |
| Leading and trailing edge precision | Maintains input pulse symmetry - critical for clock deskew and duty-cycle-sensitive logic |
| Three independent buffered delays | Enables simultaneous delay of multiple signals without crosstalk or shared path degradation |
| Industrial temperature support | Guaranteed 20 ns delay performance from -40°C to +85°C - suitable for embedded and automotive ECUs |
| 3V operation with low ICC | Draws only 10 mA typical at 3.6 V/1 µs period - reduces power rail noise and thermal load |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1135LZ-20+ | Same die, identical delay specs and pinout; differs only in tape-and-reel packaging (Z = SO, U = tube) | No functional difference; U-tube variant preferred for prototyping or low-volume hand assembly | Select DS1135LU-20+ for manual placement or small-batch builds; DS1135LZ-20+ for automated SMT lines |
| DS1035Z-20+ | Legacy 5V version; 20 ns delay but requires 4.5–5.5 V supply and exhibits ±5 ns temp/voltage tolerance | Not suitable for 3V systems; higher power consumption and looser delay stability | Only consider DS1035Z-20+ if legacy 5V infrastructure prevents voltage rail redesign |
Compared with DS1135LZ-20+, DS1135LU-20+ offers identical electrical performance in tube packaging for flexibility in low-volume use; versus DS1035Z-20+, it delivers tighter delay stability (±4.0 ns vs ±5.0 ns), lower voltage operation (3V vs 5V), and reduced power draw-making it the preferred choice for modern low-voltage digital systems.

FAQ
What is the exact delay value and tolerance of DS1135LU-20+?
The DS1135LU-20+ provides a nominal delay of 20 ns per output (tPLH and tPHL), with ±1.0 ns initial tolerance at +25°C/3.3 V and ±4.0 ns total tolerance over the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (2.7 V to 3.6 V). This is confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet and applies identically to all three outputs.
Is DS1135LU-20+ pin-compatible with DS1135LZ-20+?
Yes, DS1135LU-20+ and DS1135LZ-20+ share identical pinout, electrical specifications, and SO-8 (150-mil) package dimensions. The only difference is packaging format: 'U' denotes tube packaging, while 'Z' indicates tape-and-reel. No PCB layout changes are required when substituting between them.
Can DS1135LU-20+ operate at 2.5V supply?
No, DS1135LU-20+ is specified for 2.7 V to 3.6 V operation only. At 2.5 V, timing parameters-including 20 ns delay accuracy and output rise/fall times-are not guaranteed, and device functionality may be unreliable. Always maintain VCC within the rated 2.7–3.6 V range for compliant DS1135LU-20+ operation.
Does DS1135LU-20+ support both rising and falling edge delay matching?
Yes, DS1135LU-20+ guarantees matched delay for both edges: tPLH (rising edge delay) and tPHL (falling edge delay) are both 20 ns with identical tolerances. This preserves input pulse symmetry and ensures accurate duty-cycle retention-critical for clock and strobe applications.
What is the maximum input frequency supported by DS1135LU-20+?
DS1135LU-20+ supports input pulse widths equal to 100% of its delay value (i.e., ≥20 ns), implying a minimum period of ~40 ns and maximum fundamental frequency of ~25 MHz. However, with proper edge control (≤3.0 ns rise/fall time), it reliably conditions signals up to 100 MHz in practice, as validated by its 2.5 ns max output transition time.
