The MC10E/100E195 is a programmable delay chip (PDC) designed primarily for clock de-skewing and timing adjustment. It provides variable delay of a differential ECL input transition.
The delay section consists of a chain of gates organized as shown in the logic symbol. The first two delay elements feature gates that have been modified to have delays 1.25 and 1.5 times the basic gate delay of approximately 80 ps. These two elements provide the E195 with a digitally-selectable resolution of approximately 20 ps. The required device delay is selected by the seven address inputs D[0:6], which are latched on chip by a high signal on the latch enable (LEN) control.
Because the delay programmability of the E195 is achieved by purely differential ECL gate delays the device will operate at frequencies of >1.0 GHz while maintaining over 600 mV of output swing.
The E195 thus offers very fine resolution, at very high frequencies, that is selectable entirely from a digital input allowing for very accurate system clock timing.
An eighth latched input, D7, is provided for cascading multiple PDC?s for increased programmable range. The cascade logic allows full control of multiple PDC?s, at the expense of only a single added line to the data bus for each additional PDC, without the need for any external gating.
The V
pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to this device only. For single-ended input conditions, the unused differential input is connected to V
as a switching reference voltage. V
may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple V
and V
via a 0.015F capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, V
should be left open.
The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
