It's not very good, it is highly non-linear and even worse - nonmonotonous. It sometimes produces runt pulse glitches when you roll time backwards. I have used them in GPS clocks for many years but never enabled them for end user mode. It's really a very primitive delay line series and I don't regret seeing it gone. On top of this it is Maxim, doh! Leo
