DESCRIPTION
Micrel-Synergy's SY605 is an ECL-compatible timing vernier
(delay generator) whose time delay is programmed via an 8bit code which is loaded via an independent "WRITE" input.
The SY605 is fabricated in Micrel-Synergy's proprietary
ASSET™ bipolar process.
This device can be retriggered at speeds up to 125MHz,
with a delay span as short as 4ns. At minimum span, the
resolution is 4ns/255 = 15.7ps per step. The delay span is
externally adjustable up to 40ns. The SY605 employs
differential TRIGGER and WRITE inputs, and produces a
differential OUTPUT pulse; all other control signals are singleended ECL. Edge delay is specified by an 8-bit input which is
loaded into the device with the WRITE signal. The output
pulse width will typically be 3.5ns.
The SY605 is commonly used in Automatic Test Equipment
to provide precise timing edge placement; it is also found in
many instrumentation and communications applications.
Micrel-Synergy's circuit design techniques coupled with
ASSET™ technology result in not only ultra-fast performance,
but allow device operation at lower power dissipation than
competing technologies. Outstanding reliability is achieved in
volume production.

PIN DESCRIPTION
SY605
D0 – D7
Data input pins (ECL compatible). On the falling edge of
WRITE, D0 - D7 are latched into the DAC input register. D0
is the LSB. These inputs specify the amount of delay from the
rising edge of TRIG to the output pulse.
WRITE, WRITE
Differential write inputs (ECL compatible). These inputs
control the parallel data input latch. When WRITE is a logical
one, the data latch is transparent. Data is latched on the falling
edge of WRITE. A single-ended write may be used by
connecting WRITE to V
BB.
CE
Chip enable input (ECL compatible). CE must be a logical
zero on the rising edge of TRIG to enable the device to
respond to the trigger. If CE is floating, the trigger will always
be enabled.
TRIG, TRIG
Differential trigger inputs (ECL compatible). The rising edge
of TRIG is used to trigger the delay cycle if CE is a logical zero.
If CE is a logical one, no operation occurs. It is recommended
that triggering be performed with differential inputs.
OUT, OUT
Differential outputs (ECL compatible).
IEXT
Current reference pin. The amount of current sourced into this
pin determines the span of output delay. The voltage at IEXT
is typically –1.25V.
COMP1, COMP2
Compensation pins. A 0.1µF ceramic capacitor must be
connected between COMP1 and VEE0, and COMP2 and VEE0
(see Figure 3).
VEE
Device power. All VEE pins must be connected.
VCC
Device ground. All VCC pins must be connected together.
VBB
A –1.36V (typical) output.
FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The output pulse generation cycle begins with the arrival of
TRIG shown in Figure 1. The DAC values are latched by the
rising edge of WRITE. Then, when TRIG transitions to a high
and CE is low the linear ramp is initiated.
CE
TRIG
OUT
Figure 1.
When the ramp level reaches that of the DAC, the
comparator initiates the pulse generator to produce an output
pulse resets the ramp and the cycle is ready to begin again.

1. 10K series circuits are designed to meet the DC specifications shown in the table after thermal equilibrium has been established. The circuit is in a test
socket or mounted on a printed circuit board and transverse air flow greater than 500 lfpm is maintained. Outputs are terminated through a 50Ω resistor
to -2.0 volts.
ECL input values are -0.9 to -1.7V, with input rise/fall times ≤ 2ns,
measured between the 20% and 80% points. Timing reference
points at 50% for inputs and outputs. OUT and OUT loading with 50Ω
