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: TDn = T0 + An * TI PIN DESCRIPTIONS I1-I4 O1-O4 AL SC SI SO VDD GND 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 3D3424 operates at 3.3 volts and has a typical T0 of 9ns. The 3D3424 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.

Each delay line produces at its output a replica of the signal present at its input, shifted in time. A single delay line is comprised of a number of delay cells connected in series. Delay selection is achieved by routing one output in each string of cells to its respective output pin (O1-O4). The delay of each of the four lines can be controlled independently, via the serial interface, as described in the next section. 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 of a line 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 LINE DELAY LINE DELAY LINE DELAY LINE ADDR4 AL SI SC ADDR3 ADDR2 ADDR1 ENABLES PROGRAMMED DELAY INTERFACE Figure 1 illustrates the main functional blocks of the 3D3424 device. 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 line to its normal operation. The device contains an SO output, which can be used to cascade multiple devices, as shown in Figure 3.

The first is the differential nonlinearity (DNL), also referred to as the increment error. It is defined as the deviation of the delay step at a given address from its nominal value. For all dash numbers, the DNL is within 1/2 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 1/8 LSB at every address (see Table 1: Relative Tolerance). The absolute error is defined as follows: eabs = Ti – (Tinh + i * Tinc) where Tinh is the nominal inherent delay. The absolute error tolerance is given for addresses 0 and 15 (see Table 1: Inherent Delay, Total Delay, respectively). At any intermediate address, the tolerance can be found via linear interpolation of the address 0 & address 15 tolerances. The matching error is a measure of how well the delay of the four lines track each other when they are all programmed to the same address. The lines are typically matched to within 1% or 1ns, whichever is greater, for all addresses and all dash numbers. 3D3424 AL DELAY STABILITY The delay of CMOS integrated circuits is strongly dependent on power supply and temperature. The 3D3424 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 3D3424 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, which is equivalent to a variation, over the -40C to 85C operating range, of ±1.5% from the room-temperature delay settings. This holds for dash numbers greater than 1.5. For smaller dash numbers, the thermal drift will be larger and will always be positive. The thermal coefficient of the inherent delay is nominally +25ps/C for all dash numbers. The power supply sensitivity of the relative delay is ±0.5% 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 greater than 1.5. For smaller dash numbers, the voltage sensitivity will be greater and will always be negative. The sensitivity of the inherent delay is nominally -5ps/mV for all dash numbers.

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 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 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 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 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. 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). 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. Each 4-bit delay line in the 3D3424 is 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. Once the new address is loaded, the input signal can begin to switch. Doc #06020 6/6/2006 DATA DELAY DEVICES, INC.
