What this delay line does on your board
The Maxim DS1100LZ-200+ is a nonprogrammable silicon delay line that gives you 5 equally spaced taps from a single input, with a total delay of 200 ns and a tap increment of 40 ns. It runs on a 3V to 3.6V supply, so it sits comfortably on a 3.3V rail alongside standard logic. No programming, no external timing components — just route the input and pick the tap that matches your timing budget.
Field-fit notes
8-SOIC with 0.154-inch body width — standard footprint, no surprises for the pick-and-place. Surface-mount means you need a reflow station or hot-air tool for a field swap; it is not socketed, so plan for that if you are doing on-site repairs. The part is nonprogrammable, so orientation is the only thing to get right: pin 1 marking on the SOIC is clear enough to read with a headlamp. No ESD sensitivity beyond the usual CMOS handling — keep it in the tube until you place it.
