100LVEL16M

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 100LVEL16M is a specialty logic integrated circuit functioning as a 3.3V ECL differential receiver. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.8 V and draws a typical operating supply current of 24 mA. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC package with a width of 0.154 inches (3.90 mm). It supports a minimum operating temperature of -40°C and a maximum of +85°C. The component is part of the 100LVEL series and is classified under bus receivers.

Feature Summary

• Provides differential signal reception capabilities for ECL logic families
• Functionally equivalent to the EL16 device architecture
• Designed for operation from a standard 3.3 V power supply

Applications

• High-speed digital communication interfaces requiring differential signaling
• System interconnects utilizing ECL logic standards
• Data acquisition systems processing differential input signals

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation, as this component was originally produced by Fairchild Semiconductor and later integrated into ON Semiconductor's portfolio. Confirm the specific package variant matches the required footprint. Ensure the revision level aligns with existing design specifications. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to the target assembly. Validate that the sourcing channel provides authentic components matching the original Fairchild branding or subsequent ON Semiconductor equivalents.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-channel differential receiver compatible with 3.3V ECL standards is required. It serves as a direct functional replacement for the EL16 device. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate the 24 mA supply current against system power budgets. Ensure the operating temperature range meets the environmental conditions of the intended application environment.

Part Context

The 100LVEL16M belongs to the MC100/100LVEL family of high-speed logic devices. This series focuses on low-voltage ECL applications, offering performance comparable to traditional ECL parts while operating at reduced voltages. The device is often cross-referenced with ON Semiconductor part numbers such as MC100LVEL16. It represents a transition point where Fairchild Semiconductor logic products were absorbed into the ON Semiconductor lineup.

Replacement Considerations

The MC100LVEL16DG is a confirmed substitute part number from ON Semiconductor. Other functionally equivalent devices include the EL16 and LVEL16. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting.
