Cascading Multiple EP196s
To increase the programmable range of the EP196,
internal cascade circuitry has been included. This circuitry
allows for the cascading of multiple EP196s without the
need for any external gating. Furthermore, this capability
requires only one more address line per added E196.
Obviously, cascading multiple programmable delay chips
will result in a larger programmable range; however, this
increase is at the expense of a longer minimum delay.
Figure 6 illustrates the interconnect scheme for cascading
two EP196s. As can be seen, this scheme can easily be
expanded for larger EP196 chains. The D10 input of the
EP196 is the cascade control pin and when assert
HIGH switches output pin CASCADE to HIGH and
pin CASCADE
to LOW. With the interconnect scheme of
Figure 6 when D10 is asserted, it signals the need for a larger
programmable range than is achievable with a single device.
The A11 address can be added to generate a cascade output
for the next EP196. For a 2−device configuration, A11 is not
required.

An expansion of the latch section of the block diagram is
pictured in Figure 7. Use of this diagram will simplify the
explanation of how the SETMIN and SETMAX circuitry
works in cascade. When D10 of chip #1 in Figure 5 is LOW,
this device’s cascade output will also be LOW while the
CASCADE
output will be HIGH. In this condition, the
SETMIN pin of chip #2 will be asserted HIGH and thus all
of the latches of chip #2 will be reset and the device will be
set at its minimum delay.
Chip #1, on the other hand, will have both SETMIN and
SETMAX deasserted so that its delay will be controlled
entirely by the address bus A0−A9. If the delay needed is
greater than can be achieved with 1023 gate delays
(1111111111 on the A0−A9 address bus), D10 will be
asserted to signal the need to cascade the delay to the next
EP196 device. When D10 is asserted, the SETMIN pin of
chip #2 will be deasserted and the SETMAX pin asserted,
resulting in the device delay to be the maximum delay.
Table 12 shows the delay time of two EP196 chips in
cascade.
To expand this cascading scheme to more devices, one
simply needs to connect the D10 pin from the next chip to
the address bus and CASCADE outputs to the next chip in
the same manner as pictured in Figure 6. The only addition
to the logic is the increase of one line to the address bus for
cascade control of the second programmable delay chip.
Furthermore, to fully utilize EP196, the FTUNE pin can
be used for additional delay and for finer resolution than
10 ps. As shown in Figure 5, an analog voltage input from
DAC can adjust the FTUNE pin with an extra 60 ps of delay
for each chip.
