Maxim Introduces 5.0 V 8-Bit Programmable Timing Element

Maxim DS1124

The DS1124 from Maxim Integrated Products is an 8-bit programmable timing element similar in function to the DS1021-25. The 256-delay intervals are programmed by using a 3-wire serial interface. With a 0.25 ns step size, the DS1124 can provide a delay time from 20 ns up to 84 ns with an integral nonlinearity of ±3ns. It is ideal for delaying the horizontal sync (HSYNC) pulse in large format LCD TVs to achieve higher resolution displays.

Features:

  • 0.25 ns Step Size
  • Leading- and Trailing-Edge Accuracy
  • CMOS/TTL Compatible
  • Can Delay Signals by a Full Period or More
