DS1000-50

Overview

The DS1000-50 is a five-tap all-silicon delay line manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides precise time delays with equally spaced taps, offering superior reliability compared to hybrid technology. The device features low-power CMOS construction and is compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels. It supports vapor phase, IR, and wave soldering processes. The component is available in standard DIP packages as well as surface mount options to optimize printed circuit board area.

Feature Summary

• All-silicon time delay design ensuring stable and precise performance
• Five equally spaced taps for flexible signal timing applications
• Low-power CMOS technology with TTL/CMOS compatibility

Applications

• Signal processing circuits requiring precise time delays
• Replacement for hybrid delay lines in existing designs
• Prototyping applications needing fast turn-around custom delays

Part Context

The DS1000 series represents a family of silicon delay lines designed to replace traditional hybrid technologies. The DS1000-50 specifically offers a total delay range up to 50 ns. This series is part of Maxim Integrated's portfolio focused on providing cost-effective and reliable timing solutions in industry-standard packaging formats.

Replacement Considerations

The DS1000-50 is pin-compatible with hybrid delay lines. Designers should verify package availability, as the series includes 8-pin DIPs and surface mount variants alongside the standard 14-pin DIP.
