DESIGN NOTES

The "DIP Series" Multiple Logic Delay Lines developed by Engineered Components Company have been designed to provide precise delays with required driving and pick-off circuitry contained in a single 14-pin DIP package compatible with FAST T²L circuits. These logic delay lines are of hybrid construction utilizing the proven technologies of active integrated circuitry and of passive networks utilizing capacitive, inductive and resistive elements. The MTBF on these modules, when calculated per MIL-HDBK-217 for a 50° C ground fixed environment, is in excess of 2 million hours. Module design includes compensation for propagation delays and incorporates internal termination at the output; no additional external components are needed to obtain the desired delay.

The MFLDL-TTL is offered in 42 delays from 5 to 250ns. Each module includes three (3) separate delay lines, each isolated and fully buffered. Delay tolerances are maintained, as shown in the accompanying Part Number Table, when tested under the "Test Conditions" shown. Delay time is measured at the +1.5V level on the leading edge. Rise time for all modules is 4ns maximum, when measured from 0.75V to 2.4V. Temperature coefficient of delay is approximately +1200 ppm/°C over the operating temperature range of 0 to +70°C.

These modules accept either logic "1" or logic "0" inputs and reproduce the logic at the output without inversion. The delay modules are intended primarily for use with positive going pulses and are calibrated to the tolerances shown in the table on rising edge delay; where best accuracy is desired in applications using falling edge timing, it is recommended that a special unit be calibrated for the specific application. Each individual delay line has the capability of driving up to 10 T²L loads.

These " DIP Series" modules are packaged in a 14-pin DIP housing, molded of flame-proof Diallyl Phthalate per ASTM D 5948, Type SDG-F, and are fully encapsulated in epoxy resin. Round metal leads meet the solderability requirements of MIL-STD-202, Method 208. Corner standoffs on the housing of the thru-hole lead version and lead design of the surface mount versions provide positive standoff from the printed circuit board to permit solder-fillet formation and flush cleaning of solder-flux residues for improved reliability.

Marking consists of manufacturer's name, logo (EC²), part number, terminal identification and date code of manufacture. All marking is applied by silk screen process using white epoxy paint in accordance with MIL-STD-130, to meet the permanency of identification required by MIL-STD-202, Method 215.

TEST CONDITIONS

1. All measurements are made at 25°C.
2. Vcc supply voltage is maintained at 5.0V DC.
3. All units are tested using a FAST toggle-type positive input pulse and one FAST T²L load at the output.
4. Input pulse width used is 100% longer than delay of module under test; spacing between pulses (falling edge to rising edge) is three times the pulse width used.

DELAYS AND TOLERANCES (in ns)

All modules can be operated with a minimum input pulse width of 100% of full delay and pulse period approaching square wave; since delay accuracies may be somewhat degraded, it is suggested that the module be evaluated under the intended specific operating conditions.

Special modules can be readily manufactured to improve accuracies and/or provide customer specified random delay times for specific applications.
