Abstract: This application brief describes the techniques used to build and calibrate/compensate new-generation all-silicon delay lines. Both EconOscillators and delay lines use a compensated voltage-controlled delay line (VCDL) scheme to generate the necessary timing delays need to build both delay lines and precision all-silicon oscillators. This application brief provides a detailed overview of the architecture used in these devices. Devices using this architecture include the DS1100, DS1135, DS1110, DS1065, DS1077, DS1085, and DS1086.
