Each delay cell produces at its output a replica of the signal present at its input, shifted in time. The change in delay from one address setting to the next is called the increment, or LSB. It is nominally equal to the device dash number. The minimum delay, achieved by setting the address to zero, is called the inherent delay. For best performance, 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. Also, signal traces should be kept as short as possible. DELAY ACCURACY There are a number of ways of characterizing the delay accuracy of a programmable line. The first is the differential nonlinearity (DNL), also referred to as the increment error. It is defined as the deviation of the increment at a given address from its nominal value. For most dash numbers, the DNL is within 0.5 LSB at every address (see Table 1: Delay Step). The integrated nonlinearity (INL) is determined by first constructing the least-squares best fit straight line through the delay-versus-address data. The INL is then the deviation of a given delay from this line. For all dash numbers, the INL is within 1.0 LSB at every address. The relative error is defined as follows: erel = (Ti – T0) – i * Tinc where i is the address, Ti is the measured delay at the i’th address, T0 is the measured inherent delay, and Tinc is the nominal increment. It is very similar to the INL, but simpler to calculate. For most dash numbers, the relative error is less than 1.0 LSB at every address (see Table 1: Delay Range). The absolute error is defined as follows: eabs = Ti – (Tinh + i * Tinc) where Tinh is the nominal inherent delay. The absolute error is limited to 1.5 LSB or 3.0 ns, whichever is greater, at every address. Doc #04004 11/1/04 The inherent delay error is the deviation of the inherent delay from its nominal value. It is limited to 1.0 LSB or 2.0 ns, whichever is greater. DELAY STABILITY The delay of CMOS integrated circuits is strongly dependent on power supply and temperature. The 3D3428 utilizes novel compensation circuitry to minimize the delay variations induced by fluctuations in power supply and/or temperature. With regard to stability, the delay of the 3D3428 at a given address, i, can be split into two components: the inherent delay (T0) and the relative delay (Ti – T0). These components exhibit very different stability coefficients, both of which must be considered in very critical applications. The thermal coefficient of the relative delay is limited to ±250 PPM/C (except for the dash 0.25), which is equivalent to a variation, over the -40C to 85C operating range, of ±1.5% (±9% for the dash 0.25) from the room-temperature delay settings. The thermal coefficient of the inherent delay is nominally +20ps/C for dash numbers 5 or less, and +30ps/C for all other dash numbers. The power supply sensitivity of the relative delay is ±1.0% (±3.0% for the dash 0.25) over the 3.0V to 3.6V operating range, with respect to the delay settings at the nominal 3.3V power supply. This holds for all dash numbers. The sensitivity of the inherent delay is nominally –5ps/mV for all dash numbers. INPUT SIGNAL CHARACTERISTICS 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 maximum and an absolute maximum operating input frequency and a recommended minimum and an absolute minimum operating pulse width have been specified. OPERATING FREQUENCY 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 DATA DELAY DEVICES, INC. Tel: 973-773-2299 Fax: 973-773-9672 http://www.datadelay.com 2 3D3428 APPLICATION NOTES (CONT’D) distortion. Exceeding this limit will generally result in no signal output. The recommended maximum operating frequency specification determines the highest frequency of the delay line input signal for which the output delay accuracy is guaranteed. Exceeding this limit (while remaining within the absolute limit) may cause some delays to shift with respect to their values at low frequency. The amount of delay shift will depend on the degree to which the limit is exceeded. To guarantee (if possible) the Table 1 delay accuracy for input frequencies higher than the recommended maximum frequency, the 3D3428 must be tested at the user operating frequency. In this case, to facilitate production and device identification, the part number will include a custom reference designator identifying the intended frequency of operation. The programmed delay accuracy of the device is guaranteed, therefore, only at the user specified input frequency. Small input frequency variation about the selected frequency will only marginally impact the programmed delay accuracy, if at all. Contact the factory for details. 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. Exceeding this limit will generally result in no signal output. The recommended 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. Exceeding this limit (while remaining within the absolute limit) may cause some delays to shift with respect to their values at long pulse width. The amount of delay shift will depend on the degree to which the limit is exceeded. To guarantee the Table 1 delay accuracy for input pulse width smaller than the recommended minimum operating pulse width, the 3D3428 must be tested at the user operating pulse width. In this case, to facilitate production and device Doc #04004 11/1/04 identification, the part number will include a custom reference designator identifying the intended frequency and duty cycle of operation. The programmed delay accuracy of the device is guaranteed, therefore, only for the user specified input characteristics. Small input pulse width variation about the selected pulse width will only marginally impact the programmed delay accuracy, if at all. PROGRAMMED DELAY UPDATE A delay line is a memory device. It stores information present at the input for a time equal to the delay setting before presenting it at the output with minimal distortion. The 3D3428 8-bit programmable delay line can be represented by 256 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). PROGRAMMING INTERFACE Figure 1 illustrates the main functional blocks of the 3D3428 delay program interface. Since the 3D3428 is a CMOS design, all unused input pins must be returned to well defined logic levels, VDD or Ground. TRANSPARENT PARALLEL MODE (MD = 1, AE = 1) The eight program pins P0 - P7 directly control the output delay. A change on one or more of the program pins will be reflected on the output delay after a time tPDV, as shown in Figure 2. A register is required if the programming data is bused. DATA DELAY DEVICES, INC. 3 Mt. Prospect Ave. Clifton, NJ 07013 3 3D3428 APPLICATION NOTES (CONT’D) cascade configuration must be eight times the number of units, and each group of eight bits must be transmitted in MSB-to-LSB order. LATCHED PARALLEL MODE (MD = 1, AE PULSED) The eight program pins P0 - P7 are loaded by the falling edge of the Enable pulse, as shown in Figure 3. After each change in delay value, a settling time tEDV is required before the input is accurately delayed. To initiate a serial read, enable (AE) is driven high. After a time tEQV , bit 7 (MSB) is valid at the serial output port pin (SO). On the first rising edge of the serial clock (SC), bit 7 is loaded with the value present at the serial data input pin (SI), while bit 6 is presented at the serial output pin (SO). To retrieve the remaining bits seven more rising edges must be generated on the serial clock line. The read operation is destructive. Therefore, if it is desired that the original delay setting remain unchanged, the read data must be written back to the device(s) before the enable (AE) pin is brought low. SERIAL MODE (MD = 0) While observing data setup (tDSC) and data hold (tDHC) requirements, timing data is loaded in MSB-to-LSB order by the rising edge of the clock (SC) while the enable (AE) is high, as shown in Figure 4. The falling edge of the enable (AE) activates the new delay value which is reflected at the output after a settling time tEDV. As data is shifted into the serial data input (SI), the previous contents of the 8-bit input register are shifted out of the serial output port pin (SO) in MSB-to-LSB order, thus allowing cascading of multiple devices by connecting the serial output pin (SO) of the preceding device to the serial data input pin (SI) of the succeeding device, as illustrated in Figure 5.
