Note 3: See the Integral Nonlinearity section and Figure 5. Note 4: This is the minimum allowable interval between transitions on the input to ensure accurate device operation. This parameter can be violated but timing accuracy may be impaired and ultimately very narrow pulse widths will result in no output from the device. See Figure 1. Note 5: When a 50% duty cycle input clock is used, this defines the highest usable clock frequency. When asymmetrical clock inputs are used, the maximum usable clock frequency must be reduced to conform to the minimum input pulse-width requirement. See Figure 1. Note 6: Faster rise and fall times give the greatest accuracy in measured delay. Slow edges (outside the specification maximum) can result in erratic operations. tWI tWI IN IN OUT tD DS1124 tD0 tD0 OUT TIMING REFERENCED TO 1.5V. tD Figure 1.

The DS1124 architecture (see Figure 2) allows some signals to be delayed by more than one period, which lets the phase of the signal to be adjusted up to a full 360°. Programming is performed by a 3-wire serial interface. Using the 3-wire interface, it is possible to cascade multiple devices together for systems requiring multiple programmable delays without using additional I/O resources. Using the Serial Programming Interface Serial mode operates similar to a shift register. When the E pin is set at a high logic level, it enables the shift register and CLK clocks the data, D, into the register one bit at a time starting with the most significant bit. After all 8 bits are shifted into the DS1124, E must be pulled low to end the data transfer and activate the new value. A settling time (tEDV) is required after E is pulled low before the signal delay will meet its specified accuracy. A timing diagram for the serial interface is shown in Figure 3. The 3-wire interface also has an output (Q) that can be used to cascade multiple 3-wire devices, and it can be used to read the current value of the devices on the bus. To read the current values stored by the 3-wire device(s), the latch must be enabled and the value of Q must be read and then written back to D before the register is clocked. This causes the current value of the register to be written back into the DS1124 as it is being read. This can be accomplished in a couple of different ways. If the microprocessor has an I/O pin that is high impedance when set as an input, a feedback resistor (RFB, generally between 1kΩ and 10kΩ) can be used to write the data on Q back to D as the value is read, see Figure 4A. If the microprocessor has an internal pullup on its I/O pins, or only offers separate input and output pins, the value in the register can still be read. The circuit shown in Figure 4B allows the Q values to read by the microprocessor, which must write the Q value to D before it can clock the bus to read the next bit. If the Q values are read without writing them to D (with the pullup or otherwise), the read will be destructive. A destructive read cycle likely results in an undesirable change in the delay setting.

Serial Interface Timing Diagram Figure 4C shows how to cascade multiple DS1124s onto the same 3-wire bus. One important detail of writing software for cascaded 3-wire devices is that all the devices on the bus must be written to or read from during each read or write cycle. Attempting to write to only the first device (U1) would cause the data stored in U1 to be shifted to U2, U2’s data would be shifted to U3, etc. As shown, the microprocessor would have to shift 24 bits during each read or write cycle to avoid inadvertently changing the settings in any of the 3-wire devices. Also note that the feedback resistor or a separate input (not shown) can still be used to read the 3-wire device settings when multiple devices are cascaded. Integral Nonlinearity Integral nonlinearity (INL) is defined as the deviation from a straight line response drawn between the measured step zero delay (tD0) and the measured step 255 delay (tD255) with respect to the step 0 delay. Figure 5 shows INL’s effect on delay performance graphically. Application Information Power-Supply Decoupling To achieve the best results when using the DS1124, decouple the power supply with a 0.01µF and a 0.1µF capacitor. Use high-quality, ceramic, surface mount capacitors, and mount the capacitors as close as possible to the VCC and GND pins of the DS1124 to minimize lead inductance. The DS1124 may not perform as specified if good decoupling practices are not followed. _______________________________________________________________________________________ 7 DS1124 5.0V 8-Bit Programmable Timing Element MICROPROCESSOR MICROPROCESSOR OUTPUT E OUTPUT CLK I/O PIN DS1124 D Q OUTPUT E OUTPUT CLK OUTPUT D DS1124 Q INPUT RFB A) USING A FEEDBACK RESISTOR WITH AN I/O PIN FOR READING THE DS1124.
