Abstract: Maxim manufactures several delay lines. This application note compares each programmable delay line and non-programmable delay line to help customers choose the appropriate device for their application. Since many of the features of these devices cannot easily be categorized into fields in the on-line parametric database, the intent of this application note is to show a side-by-side comparison of members of the delay line family and to eliminate the hassles of sifting through numerous data sheets when trying to select a device.

Programmable Delay Lines Comparison
Maxim's programmable delay lines operate from a 5.0V supply and are available in SO or DIP packages. Programmable delay lines offer the customer the ability to program delays after the device has been installed in the application. Each device is described below and key features are compared in Table 1. A functional diagram of a programmable delay line is shown in Figure 1.Figure 1. Programmable delay line functional diagram.
DS1020
The DS1020 is an 8-bit delay line. The DS1020 is available in 5 versions (dash numbers) with different step sizes (0.15ns, 0.25ns, 0.5ns, 1ns, and 2ns). Delays are available from 10ns to 520ns and can be programmed using the 3-wire serial interface or the 8-bit parallel interface.DS1021
The DS1021 is identical to the DS1020 except it is available in only two step sizes (0.25ns and 0.5ns) and it has a minimum VCC power-up time. Delays are available from 10ns to 137.5ns and can be programmed using the 3-wire serial interface or the 8-bit parallel interface.DS1023
The DS1023 is similar to the DS1020/1021 with a few added features. This device has the ability to delay signals by up to a full period or more and the signal can also be inverted. The DS1023 can also output a pulse-width modulated signal. The on-chip reference delay creates a step zero delay of 0ns. Delays are available from 0ns to 1275ns with 5 different step sizes (0.25ns, 0.5ns, 1ns, 2ns, and 5ns) and can be programmed using the 3-wire serial interface or the 8-bit parallel interface.DS1040
The DS1040 is an adjustable one-shot pulse generator. Pulse widths are available from 5ns to 500ns and steps can be programmed from 2.5ns to 100ns, depending on version, using the parallel interface.DS1045
The DS1045 is a 4-bit dual delay line. This device has two independently programmable outputs. Delays are available from 9ns to 84ns in 3ns, 4ns, or 5ns steps (depending on version) and can be programmed using the parallel interface.Table 1. Programmable delay lines comparison
