The LF9502 is a high-speed, 10-bit programmable line buffer. Some applications the LF9502 is useful for include sample rate conversion, data time compression/expansion, software controlled data alignment, and programmable serial data shifting. By using the MODSEL pin, two different modes of operation can be selected: delay mode and data recirculation mode. The delay mode provides a minimum of 2 to a maximum of 2049 clock cycles of delay between the input and output of the device. The data recirculation mode provides a feedback path from the data output to the data input for use as a programmable circular buffer.
