FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The PDU54-series device is a 4-bit digitally programmable delay line.
The delay, TDA, from the input pin (IN) to the output pin (OUT) depends
on the address code (A3-A0) according to the following formula:
TDA = TD0 + T

where A is the address code, T
is the incremental delay of the device, and TD0 is the inherent delay of
INC
the device. The incremental delay is specified by the dash number of the device and can range from
100ps through 3000ps, inclusively. The address is not latched and must remain asserted during normal
operation.

APPLICATION NOTES
ADDRESS UPDATE
The PDU54 is a memory device. As such,
special precautions must be taken when
changing the delay address in order to prevent
spurious output signals. The timing restrictions
are shown in Figure 1.
After the last signal edge to be delayed has
appeared on the OUT pin, a minimum time,
T
, is required before the address lines can
OAX
change. This time is given by the following
relation:
T
where A
= max { (Ai - A
OAX
and Ai are the old and new address
i-1
i-1
) * T
INC
, 0 }
codes, respectively. Violation of this constraint
may, depending on the history of the input signal,
cause spurious signals to appear on the OUT
pin. The possibility of spurious signals persists
until the required T
has elapsed.
OAX
INPUT RESTRICTIONS
There are three types of restrictions on input
pulse width and period listed in the AC
Characteristics table. The recommended
conditions are those for which the delay
tolerance specifications and monotonicity are
guaranteed. The suggested conditions are
those for which signals will propagate through the
unit without significant distortion. The absolute
conditions are those for which the unit will
produce some type of output for a given input.
When operating the unit between the
recommended and absolute conditions, the
delays may deviate from their values at low
frequency. However, these deviations will
remain constant from pulse to pulse if the input
pulse width and period remain fixed. In other
words, the delay of the unit exhibits frequency
and pulse width dependence when operated
beyond the recommended conditions. Please
consult the technical staff at Data Delay Devices
if your application has specific high-frequency
requirements.
Please note that the increment tolerances listed
represent a design goal. Although most delay
increments will fall within tolerance, they are not
guaranteed throughout the address range of the
unit. Monotonicity is, however, guaranteed over
all addresses.
