FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
The 3D3622 device is a versatile 22-bit programmable monolithic
pulse generator. A rising-edge on the trigger input (TRIG) initiates
the pulse, which is presented on the output pins (OUT,OUTB). The
pulse width, programmed via the serial interface, can be varied
over 4,194,303 equal steps according to the formula:
t
PW
= t
inh
+ addr * t
inc
where addr is the programmed address, t
inc
is the pulse width
increment (equal to the device dash number), and t
inh
is the
inherent (address zero) pulse width. The device also offers a reset
input (RES), which can be used to terminate the pulse before the
programmed time has expired.
The all-CMOS 3D3622 integrated circuit has been designed as a
reliable, economic alternative to hybrid TTL pulse generators. It is
offered in a standard 14-pin SOIC.

APPLICATION NOTES
GENERAL INFORMATION
Figure 1 illustrates the main functional blocks of
the 3D3622. Since the 3D3622 is a CMOS
design, all unused input pins must be returned to
well-defined logic levels, VDD or Ground.
The pulse generator architecture is comprised of
a number of delay cells, which are controlled by
the 6 LSB bits of the address, and an oscillator &
counter, which are controlled by the 16 MSB bits
of the address. Each device is individually
trimmed for maximum accuracy and linearity
throughout the address range. The change in
pulse width from one address setting to the next
is called the
increment,
or LSB. It is nominally
equal to the device dash number. The minimum
pulse width, achieved by setting the address to
zero, is called the
inherent pulse width.
For dash numbers larger than 15, the 6 LSB bits
are invalid, and the address loaded must
therefore be a multiple of 64 (ie, 0, 64, 128, 192,
etc). When used in this manner, the device is
essentially a 16-bit generator, with an effective
increment equal to 64 times the dash number.
For best performance, it is essential that the
power supply pin be adequately bypassed and
filtered. In addition, the power bus should be of
as low an impedance construction as possible.
Power planes are preferred. Also, signal traces
should be kept as short as possible.
inherent width, and t
inc
is the nominal increment.
It is very similar to the INL, but simpler to
calculate. For most dash numbers, the relative
error is less than 1.0 LSB at every address (see
Table 1).
The
absolute error
is defined as follows:
e
abs
= t
PW
– (t
inh
+ addr * t
inc
)
where t
inh
is the nominal inherent delay. The
absolute error is limited to 1.5 LSB or 3.0 ns,
whichever is greater, at every address.
The
inherent pulse width error
is the deviation of
the inherent width from its nominal value. It is
limited to 1.0 LSB or 2.0 ns, whichever is greater.
PULSE WIDTH STABILITY
The characteristics of CMOS integrated circuits
are strongly dependent on power supply and
temperature. The 3D3622 utilizes novel
compensation circuitry to minimize the
performance variations induced by fluctuations in
power supply and/or temperature.
With regard to stability, the output pulse width of
the 3D3622 at a given address, addr, can be split
into two components: the
inherent pulse width
(t
inh
) and the
relative pulse width
(t
PW
– t
inh
).
These components exhibit very different stability
coefficients, both of which must be considered in
very critical applications.
The thermal coefficient of the relative pulse width
is limited to
±250
PPM/C (except for the -0.25),
which is equivalent to a variation, over the -40C
to 85C operating range, of
±1.5%
(±9% for the
dash 0.25) from the room-temperature pulse
width. This holds for all dash numbers. The
thermal coefficient of the inherent pulse width is
nominally +20ps/C for dash numbers less than 5,
and +30ps/C for all other dash numbers.
The power supply sensitivity of the relative pulse
width is
±1.0%
(±3.0% for the dash 0.25) over the
3.0V to 3.6V operating range, with respect to the
pulse width at the nominal 3.3V power supply.
This holds for all dash numbers. The sensitivity of
the inherent pulse width is nominally -5ps/mV for
all dash numbers.
It should also be noted that the DNL is also
adversely affected by thermal and supply
variations, particularly at the MSL/LSB
crossovers (ie, 63 to 64, 127 to 128, etc).
PULSE WIDTH ACCURACY
There are a number of ways of characterizing the
pulse width accuracy of a programmable pulse
generator. The first is the
differential nonlinearity
(DNL), also referred to as the increment error. It
is defined as the deviation of the increment at a
given address from its nominal value. For most
dash numbers, the DNL is within 0.5 LSB at
every address (see Table 1: Pulse Width Step).
The
integrated nonlinearity
(INL) is determined
by first constructing the least-squares best fit
straight line through the pulse-width-versus-
address data. The INL is then the deviation of a
given width from this line. For all dash numbers,
the INL is within 1.0 LSB at every address.
The
relative error
is defined as follows:
e
rel
= (t
PW
– t
inh
) – addr * t
inc
where addr is the address, t
PW
is the measured
width at this address, t
inh
is the measured

TRIGGER & RESET TIMING
Figure 2 shows the timing diagram of the device
when the reset input (RES) is not used. In this
case, the pulse is triggered by the rising edge of
the TRIG signal and ends at a time determined
by the address loaded into the device. While the
pulse is active, any additional triggers occurring
are ignored. Once the pulse has ended, and after
a short recovery time, the next trigger is
recognized. Figure 3 shows the timing for the
case where a reset is issued before the pulse
has ended. Again, there is a short recovery time
required before the next trigger can occur.
As shown in the figure, most of the address
information for the next pulse can be loaded
while the current pulse is active. It is only on the
falling-edge of AE that the device adjusts to the
new pulse width setting. In other words, the
device controller does not need to wait for the
current pulse to end before beginning an address
update sequence. This can save a considerable
amount of time in certain applications.
As data is shifted into the serial data input (SI),
the previous contents of the 22-bit input register
are shifted out of the serial output pin (SO) in
MSB-to-LSB order. This allows cascading of
multiple devices by connecting SO of the
preceding device to SI of the succeeding device,
as illustrated in Figure 5. The total number of
serial data bits in a cascade configuration must
be 22 times the number of units, and each group
of 22 bits must be transmitted in MSB-to-LSB
order.
ADDRESS UPDATE
While observing data setup (t
DS
) and data hold
(t
DH
) requirements, timing data is loaded in MSB-
to-LSB order by the rising edge of the clock (SC)
while the enable (AE) is high, as shown in Figure
4. The falling edge of the AE activates the new
pulse width value, which is reflected at the output
upon the next trigger.
