DS1000K-50

Overview

The DS1000K-50 is a silicon delay line IC from the DS1000 series, manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides five equally spaced taps with a total delay of 50 ns. The device features low-power CMOS technology and is TTL/CMOS-compatible. It is housed in an 8-pin DIP package, designed to be pin-compatible with hybrid delay lines while saving printed circuit board area. The component offers stable and precise time delays with both leading and trailing edge accuracy.

Feature Summary

• All-silicon time delay providing superior reliability over hybrid technology
• Five equally spaced taps for precise signal timing
• Low-power CMOS construction compatible with TTL and CMOS logic levels

Applications

• Signal processing circuits requiring precise time delays
• Timing elements in digital communication systems
• Replacement for hybrid delay lines in existing designs

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or manufacturer channels due to potential availability constraints. Confirm RoHS compliance status as older variants may not meet current environmental standards. Check datasheet revisions for any updates regarding electrical characteristics or packaging specifications before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 50 ns delay with five taps is required in a compact 8-pin form factor. Ensure the application operates within standard TTL/CMOS voltage ranges. Consider the DS1000K-50 for cost-sensitive designs needing reliable silicon-based timing solutions compared to more expensive hybrid alternatives.

Part Context

The DS1000 series represents a family of all-silicon delay lines designed to replace traditional hybrid technologies. These devices offer improved reliability and lower costs while maintaining precision timing capabilities. The series includes various delay values and packaging options, including surface mount packages, to accommodate different design constraints and space requirements.

Replacement Considerations

Direct pin-compatible replacements include other DS1000 series variants such as DS1000-100 or DS1000-125 if different delay values are acceptable. Verify that substitute components maintain the same 8-pin DIP footprint and electrical compatibility with existing circuitry.
