SY100EP196VTI

Overview

The SY100EP196VTI is a high-speed programmable delay line manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates with supply voltages of 3.0V to 5.5V for PECL mode or -3.0V to -5.5V for NECL mode. The device provides a programmable delay range from approximately 2.2ns to 12.2ns, adjustable in discrete 10ps increments via a 10-bit control register. An additional fine-tuning capability allows for continuous variation within a 30ps range using the FTUNE pin. The component supports cascading for extended delay ranges and accepts PECL, LVPECL, NECL, or LVNECL input signals.

Feature Summary

• Supports multiple logic families including PECL, LVPECL, NECL, and LVNECL inputs
• Provides precise digital delay adjustment with 10ps resolution steps
• Enables analog fine-tuning for sub-step delay calibration
• Allows cascading of multiple units to expand total delay capacity

Applications

• High-frequency clock signal alignment
• Data bus skew compensation
• Timing adjustment in gigabit serial links

Part Context

This component belongs to the SY100EP series of high-speed ECL-compatible timing devices. It serves as a direct replacement for legacy parts like the MC100EP196, maintaining pin compatibility while offering integrated fine-tuning features not present in earlier generations.
