MAX3620AETT

Overview

The MAX3620AETT is a delay line integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc. under the Maxim Integrated brand. It provides a fixed propagation delay of 1.50 nanoseconds per stage. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.7V to 3.6V and consumes low power, with a typical supply current of 4mA. It is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package (EET) suitable for surface-mount applications. The component is designed for timing adjustment and pulse width modification in high-speed digital circuits.

Feature Summary

• Provides precise 1.50ns fixed delay for signal timing alignment
• Operates on a single low-voltage supply ranging from 2.7V to 3.6V
• Features compact 8-pin surface-mount packaging for space-constrained designs

Applications

• Digital signal processing timing correction
• Pulse width modulation circuitry
• High-speed data bus synchronization

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical records may vary. Check for obsolescence notices since this series has been subject to lifecycle changes. Ensure the specific suffix matches the required package type for PCB layout compatibility.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fixed 1.50ns delay is required without programmability. Compare against adjustable delay lines if variable timing is needed. Ensure the 2.7V-3.6V operating range aligns with the system power rails. Verify that the SOIC-8 footprint fits the mechanical constraints of the target enclosure.

Part Context

The MAX3620 belongs to a family of delay line ICs designed for general-purpose timing applications. It complements other Maxim Integrated timing solutions by offering a simple, fixed-delay alternative to complex programmable timers. This part serves as a foundational element for basic jitter reduction and skew compensation in digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Engineers should consult official cross-reference tools or contact Analog Devices technical support for verified alternatives compatible with the 1.50ns delay specification.
