PDU54

APPLICATION NOTES

ADDRESS UPDATE

The PDU54 is a memory device. As such,

special precautions must be taken when

changing the delay address in order to prevent

spurious output signals. The timing restrictions

are shown in Figure 1.

After the last signal edge to be delayed has

is required before the address lines can change.

This time is given by the following relation:

codes, respectively. Violation of this constraint

may, depending on the history of the input signal,

cause spurious signals to appear on the OUT

pin. The possibility of spurious signals persists

INPUT RESTRICTIONS

There are three types of restrictions on input

pulse width and period listed in the AC

Characteristics table. The recommended

conditions are those for which the delay

tolerance specifications and monotonicity are

guaranteed. The suggested conditions are

those for which signals will propagate through the

unit without significant distortion. The absolute

conditions are those for which the unit will

produce some type of output for a given input.

When operating the unit between the

recommended and absolute conditions, the

delays may deviate from their values at low

frequency. However, these deviations will

remain constant from pulse to pulse if the input

pulse width and period remain fixed. In other

words, the delay of the unit exhibits frequency

and pulse width dependence when operated

beyond the recommended conditions. Please

consult the technical staff at Data Delay Devices

if your application has specific high-frequency

requirements.

Please note that the increment tolerances listed

represent a design goal. Although most delay

increments will fall within tolerance, they are not

guaranteed throughout the address range of the

unit. Monotonicity is, however, guaranteed over

all addresses.
