Delay values, programmed via the serial interface, can be independently varied over 15 equal steps. The step size (in ns) is determined by the device dash number. Each input is reproduced at the corresponding output without inversion, shifted in time as per user selection. For each line, the delay time is given by: I1-I4 O1-O4 AL SC SI SO VDD GND TDn = T0 + An * TI Signal Inputs Signal Outputs Address Latch In Serial Clock In Serial Data In Serial Data Out 3.3V Ground where T0 is the inherent delay, An is the delay address of the n-th line and TI is the delay increment (dash number). The desired addresses are shifted into the device via the SC and SI inputs, and the addresses are latched using the AL input. The serial interface can also be used to enable/disable each delay line. The 3D3444 operates at 3.3 volts and has a typical T0 of 9ns. The 3D3444 is CMOS-compatible, capable of sourcing or sinking 4mA loads, and features both rising- and falling-edge accuracy. The device is offered in a standard 14-pin auto-insertable DIP and a space saving surface mount 14-pin SOIC.

THEORY OF OPERATION The quad 4-bit programmable 3D3444 delay line architecture is comprised of a number of delay cells connected in series with their respective outputs multiplexed onto the Delay Out pin (O1O4) by the user-selected programming data. Each delay cell produces at its output a replica of the signal present at its input, shifted in time. Each of the four lines can be controlled independently, via the serial interface.

Since the device is a CMOS design, all unused input pins must be returned to well defined logic levels (VDD or GND). The delays are adjusted by first shifting a 20-bit programming word into the device via the SC and SI pins, then strobing the AL signal to latch the values. The bit sequence is shown in Table 2, and the associated timing diagram is shown in Figure 2. Each line has associated with it an enable bit. Setting this bit low will force the corresponding delay line output to a high impedance state, while setting it high returns the I4 Delay Line 4 3 2 1 1 2 3 4 Function Output Enable Output Enable Output Enable Output Enable Address Bit 3 Address Bit 2 Address Bit 1 Address Bit 0 Address Bit 3 Address Bit 2 Address Bit 1 Address Bit 0 Address Bit 3 Address Bit 2 Address Bit 1 Address Bit 0 Address Bit 3 Address Bit 2 Address Bit 1 Address Bit 0 DELAY LINE O4 DELAY LINE I3 O3 DELAY LINE I2 O2 DELAY LINE I1 ADDR4 ADDR3 AL ADDR2 ADDR1 O1 ENABLES 20-BIT LATCH SI 20-BIT SHIFT REGISTER SC SO Figure 1: Functional block diagram Doc #00119 8/2/02 DATA DELAY DEVICES, INC.

It stores information present at the input for a time equal to the delay setting before presenting it at the output with minimal distortion. Each 4-bit delay line in the 3D3444 can be represented by 15 serially connected delay elements (individually addressed by the programming data), each capable of storing data for a time equal to the device increment (step time). The delay line memory property, in conjunction with the operational requirement of “instantaneously” connecting the delay element addressed by the programming data to the output, may inject spurious information onto the output data stream. In order to ensure that spurious outputs do not occur, it is essential that the input signal be idle (held high or low) for a short duration prior to updating the programmed delay. This duration is given by the maximum programmable delay. Satisfying this requirement allows the delay line to “clear” itself of spurious edges. When the new address is loaded, the input signal can begin to switch (and the new delay will be valid) after a time given by tPDV or tEDV (see section below). The delay of CMOS integrated circuits is strongly dependent on power supply and temperature. The monolithic 3D3444 programmable delay line utilizes novel and innovative compensation circuitry to minimize the delay variations induced by fluctuations in power supply and/or temperature. The thermal coefficient is reduced to 400 PPM/C, which is equivalent to a variation, over the 0C-70 C operating range, of ±2% from the room-temperature delay settings. The power supply coefficient is reduced, over the 3.0V3.6V operating range, to ±1.5% of the delay settings at the nominal 3.3VDC power supply and/or ±2ns, whichever is greater. It is essential that the power supply pin be adequately bypassed and filtered. In addition, the power bus should be of as low an impedance construction as possible. Power planes are preferred. tLW LATCH (AL) tCW tCW tCSL CLOCK (SC) SERIAL INPUT (SI) SERIAL OUTPUT (SO) DELAY TIMES tDSC tDHC NEW BIT 1 NEW BIT 2 NEW BIT 20 tPCQ OLD BIT 1 OLD BIT 2 OLD BIT 20 NEW BIT 1 tLDV tLDX NEW VALUES PREVIOUS VALUES Figure 2: Serial interface timing diagram 3D3444 SI FROM WRITING DEVICE SC SO AL 3D3444 SI SC SO AL 3D3444 SI SC SO AL TO NEXT DEVICE Figure 3: Cascading Multiple Devices Doc #00119 8/2/02 DATA DELAY DEVICES, INC. 3 Mt. Prospect Ave. Clifton, NJ 07013 3 3D3444 INPUT SIGNAL CONSIDERATIONS The Frequency and/or Pulse Width (high or low) of operation may adversely impact the specified delay and increment accuracy of the particular device. The reasons for the dependency of the output delay accuracy on the input signal characteristics are varied and complex. Therefore a Recommended and an Absolute Maximum operating input frequency and a Recommended and an Absolute Minimum operating pulse width have been specified. OPERATING FREQUENCY will increase as the absolute maximum frequency is approached. However, if the input frequency and pulse width remain constant, the device will exhibit the same delays from one period to the next (ie, no appreciable jitter). OPERATING PULSE WIDTH The Absolute Minimum Operating Pulse Width (high or low) specification, tabulated in Table 1, determines the smallest pulse width of the delay line input signal that can be reproduced, shifted in time at the device output, with acceptable pulse width distortion. The Absolute Maximum Operating Frequency specification, tabulated in Table 1, determines the highest frequency of the delay line input signal that can be reproduced, shifted in time at the device output, with acceptable duty cycle distortion. The Minimum Operating Pulse Width (high or low) specification determines the smallest Pulse Width of the delay line input signal for which the output delay accuracy tabulated in Table 1 is guaranteed. The Recommended Maximum Operating Frequency specification determines the highest frequency of the delay line input signal for which the output delay accuracy is guaranteed. Operation above the recommended maximum frequency will cause the delays to shift slighty with respect to their values at low-frequency operation. The magnitudes of these deviations Operation below the recommended minimum pulse width will cause the delays to shift slighty with respect to their values at long-pulse-width operation. The magnitudes of these deviations will increase as the absolute minimum pulse width is approached. However, if the input pulse width and frequency remain constant, the device will exhibit the same delays from one period to the next (ie, no appreciable jitter).
