Product details
Overview
DS1135U-20+ from Maxim Integrated is a high-speed, all-silicon 3-in-1 delay line operating at +5V with three independent buffered outputs, each delivering precisely matched 20 ns propagation delay (tPLH/tPHL), ±1.0 ns initial tolerance, and ±2 ns total tolerance over -40°C to +85°C. It preserves input signal symmetry with leading/trailing edge accuracy and drives up to 10 LS TTL loads - used in high-reliability clock alignment, pulse shaping, and timing skew correction in industrial control and test instrumentation.
For engineers reviewing the DS1135U-20+ datasheet, DS1135U-20+ pinout, DS1135U-20+ application, or DS1135U-20+ equivalent, key selection considerations include guaranteed 20 ns delay per output, SOIC-8 (150-mil) package compatibility, 5V-only operation, edge-preserving buffering, and drop-in replacement capability for legacy DS1013/DS1035 designs requiring improved temperature stability.
Technical Context
The DS1135U-20+ implements three identical, fully buffered delay paths in a single monolithic silicon IC, each with matched tPLH and tPHL of 20 ns under nominal conditions (VCC = 5.0 V, TA = +25°C). Its architecture eliminates analog drift mechanisms found in RC-based delay lines, delivering stable delay across voltage (4.75–5.25 V) and temperature (-40°C to +85°C).
All inputs accept standard TTL/CMOS logic levels (VIH ≥ 2.2 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V), and outputs are rail-to-rail compatible with 74F-series loading. The device features fast 2.0–2.5 ns rise/fall times and requires no external components - enabling deterministic timing without calibration or trimming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Delay per output | 20 ns (tPLH/tPHL), matched across all three channels |
| Initial delay tolerance | ±1.0 ns at +25°C, 5.0 V - enables precise system-level timing budgeting |
| Temp/voltage tolerance | ±2 ns over -40°C to +85°C and 4.75–5.25 V - ensures consistent skew correction |
| Output drive strength | 12 mA sink / -1.0 mA source - supports direct interfacing to 10 LS TTL loads |
| Rise/fall time | 2.0–2.5 ns - maintains signal integrity for >200 MHz edge rates |
| Supply voltage | +5 V only (4.75–5.25 V) - not compatible with 3 V systems; see DS1135L for 3 V variant |
| Power-up time | 100 ms - defines minimum reset hold-off after supply stabilization |
Pinout & Package
DS1135U-20+ is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (150-mil) package (package code S8+2, outline 21-0041), RoHS-compliant with lead finish suitable for vapor phase, IR, and wave soldering.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| IN1, IN2, IN3 | Dedicated input terminals | Accept TTL/CMOS logic signals; electrically isolated, no crosstalk between paths |
| OUT1, OUT2, OUT3 | Buffered delay outputs | Each delivers identical 20 ns delay with full drive capability and edge fidelity |
| VCC | Positive supply | +5 V power pin; requires local 0.1 µF decoupling per datasheet layout guidance |
| GND | Ground reference | Common return for all inputs, outputs, and internal circuitry; must be low-impedance |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar 3-output fixed-delay line applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| DS1135Z-20+ | Same die, identical 20 ns delay spec, but in standard SOIC-8 (150-mil); DS1135U-20+ uses same package per Maxim ordering info | No functional difference; U/Z suffix denotes tape-and-reel vs. tube packaging - both share identical electrical specs | Select DS1135U-20+ for automated SMT placement; DS1135Z-20+ if manual prototyping or small-batch use is preferred |
| DS1013-20+ | Legacy predecessor; wider delay tolerance (±5 ns over temp), slower rise/fall (>4 ns), higher ICC (50 mA) | Lacks edge symmetry preservation and industrial temp support; unsuitable for new designs requiring <3 ns edge jitter | DS1135U-20+ is Maxim's recommended drop-in upgrade - retains same pinout and footprint while improving stability and speed |
Compared with DS1135Z-20+, DS1135U-20+ offers identical timing performance and package but optimized for high-volume SMT assembly; versus DS1013-20+, it delivers tighter delay tolerance, faster edges, lower power, and extended temperature coverage - making it the sole qualified choice for new industrial timing designs.

FAQ
What is the exact delay value and tolerance of DS1135U-20+?
The DS1135U-20+ provides a nominal 20 ns propagation delay (tPLH and tPHL) on each of its three outputs. Initial tolerance is ±1.0 ns at +25°C and 5.0 V. Over the full industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and supply voltage (4.75–5.25 V), total delay variation is guaranteed within ±2 ns - confirmed in Table 1 of the official datasheet.
Is DS1135U-20+ pin-compatible with DS1013 or DS1035?
Yes, DS1135U-20+ is a direct pin-compatible replacement for DS1013 and DS1035 in the same SOIC-8 (150-mil) package. All input/output assignments (IN1–IN3, OUT1–OUT3, VCC, GND) match exactly, and board layout requires no changes. Maxim explicitly recommends DS1135U-20+ as the upgraded successor.
Does DS1135U-20+ support 3.3 V operation?
No, DS1135U-20+ is specified for +5 V operation only (4.75–5.25 V). It is not compatible with 3.3 V logic systems. For 3 V applications, Maxim offers the DS1135L family - a separate product line with different internal design and voltage rating.
What is the maximum capacitive load DS1135U-20+ can drive reliably?
DS1135U-20+ is characterized to drive up to 10 LS TTL loads per output, equivalent to ~15 pF at the output node under standard test conditions. Driving heavier loads may degrade rise/fall times and delay accuracy; for >15 pF, external buffer amplification is recommended per Maxim's application guidance.
Can DS1135U-20+ be used in automotive applications?
DS1135U-20+ is rated for industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and is not AEC-Q200 qualified. While it may function in some automotive under-hood environments, it lacks automotive-specific qualification, enhanced ESD protection, and extended reliability testing - so it is not recommended for safety-critical or production automotive ECUs.
