DS1013-15+

DS1013-15+ is a delay line device usually used in clock timing and synchronizing applications. This delay line consists of an integrated circuit chip and associated integrated components, and they are all enclosed in a single package. The device can be used to buffer pulses, to correct pulses that have been jittered, to increase pulse widths and to provide pulse delay.

Delay lines are an important timing network that allows a circuit to compensate for delays by introducing a specific delay time between the output pulse and the input pulse. Delay lines reduce the effect of pulse jitter by providing an increased output pulse width, and they are also used to create delay times between two events or activities. Delay lines can be used in a variety of applications such as clock synchronization, data communication and video synchronization.

The DS1013-15+ delay line is based on the delay line principle, but employs a programmable delay element. The delay element is a PECL flip flop and the delay is set using a serial number which is written to the IC. The delay line consists of two ICs, a flip-flop IC and an APLL (all-pass line) driver IC, and an external resistor-capacitor network connected between the two ICs. The APLL driver IC is designed to drive the flip-flop IC at the same frequency, and the resistor-capacitor network tunes this frequency.

The DS1013-15+ also provides a wide range of selectable delay settings, from 1 ns to 20 ns, which can be adjusted with a resolution of 10 ps. The delay line is also designed to provide a high level of noise immunity, which ensures a reliable, low-noise operation. In addition, the device is designed to be tolerant to variations in supply voltage and temperature.

The most common application of the DS1013-15+ delay line is in clock synchronization and timing applications. The device can be used in clock synchronization, data transmission systems, video synchronizing circuits and other applications that require precise timing. The device can be used as a programmable delay line for buffering and increasing pulse widths, as well as for correcting jittered pulses. Additionally, the device can also be used in wideband applications, such as when a high-frequency signal needs to be delayed.

The DS1013-15+ delay line is a reliable, low-noise device that can be used for many clock frequency applications. It has a number of useful features such as a wide range of selectable delays, a high level of noise immunity, and tolerance to supply voltage and temperature variations. This device is ideal for applications that require precise timing or pulse buffering or delay line synchronization, making it an excellent choice for clock timing and synchronizing applications.
