MAX3620CETT-T

Overview

The MAX3620CETT-T is a fixed delay line integrated circuit manufactured by Analog Devices Inc./Maxim Integrated. It provides a precise 1.25 nanosecond delay with two independent signal paths, housed in a compact 6-lead WDFN package. This component is designed for applications requiring accurate timing alignment without the complexity of programmable oscillators.

Feature Summary

• Provides fixed 1.25ns delay with two independent paths
• Eliminates intrinsic duty cycle distortion via symmetrical rise/fall times
• Compact 6-lead WDFN package design

Applications

• Timing alignment in digital circuits
• Signal path synchronization
• Motor control system timing

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'CETT' to confirm the 6-WDFN package and tape-and-reel configuration. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints, as this variant differs from DIP or SOIC packages found in other MAX3620 series members. Confirm RoHS status and lead availability through authorized channels due to potential lifecycle constraints.

Selection Notes

Select the MAX3620CETT-T when a fixed 1.25ns delay is required rather than programmable timing. Choose this part over variable delay lines if minimal skew and duty cycle distortion are critical. The 6-WDFN package suits space-constrained designs compared to larger DIP alternatives.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MAX3620 family of delay lines. Unlike programmable clock generators, it offers static delay characteristics. It serves as a timing element for synchronizing signals in high-speed digital interfaces and control loops where precise, unchanging delays are necessary.

Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include MAX3620DETT for different packaging requirements. Verify pinout compatibility when replacing with other MAX3620 variants, as package changes may affect thermal performance and footprint dimensions.
