175 ns total delay — 5 fixed taps at 35 ns increments
The DS1100Z-175+ is a 5-tap nonprogrammable delay line with a total delay of 175 ns from input to final tap. Each of the five taps delivers a 35 ns increment, starting at 35 ns on the first tap. This fixed-tap architecture means the delay profile is set at the factory — no external programming or resistor setting is needed.
What the 35 ns tap increment means for timing alignment
With five taps spaced 35 ns apart, the DS1100Z-175+ provides a 175 ns delay window in 35 ns steps. This granularity is useful for deskewing parallel data buses, aligning clock-to-data setup/hold windows, or generating precise pulse-widths in a 5V logic system. The single independent delay line means all five taps are derived from one input — the output at each tap is a delayed replica of the same signal. The nonprogrammable nature eliminates configuration errors in production — the delay values are fixed at the silicon level. For a BOM where repeatability across units matters more than field-adjustability, this removes a variable from the timing budget.
