100LVEL16MX

Overview

The MC100LVEL16MX is a low voltage differential receiver manufactured by onsemi, originally designed by Fairchild Semiconductor. It operates within a PECL supply range of 3.0V to 3.8V or an NECL range of -3.8V to -3.0V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 275 ps and a power supply current of 23 mA. It includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage for single-ended input biasing. The component is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package and supports operation across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Contains an internal VBB voltage source for biasing unused differential inputs in single-ended configurations
• Temperature compensated design ensures stable performance across the operating range
• Outputs default to LOW (Q) and HIGH (Qbar) when inputs are open
• Includes internal pull-down resistors on data inputs

Applications

• High-speed data transmission systems requiring differential signal reception
• Signal processing circuits interfacing with high-frequency sources
• LVPECL and LVNECL logic interface applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix 'X' corresponds to the tape and reel packaging format as specified in the datasheet. Confirm the manufacturer origin, noting the transition from Fairchild Semiconductor to onsemi, to ensure compatibility with existing supply chain documentation. Check RoHS compliance status and moisture sensitivity level requirements before integration into the assembly process.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a 3.3V ECL differential receiver with integrated reference voltage generation. The MSOP-8 package offers a compact footprint suitable for space-constrained designs. Ensure the system can accommodate the required decoupling capacitor for the VBB pin if used for single-ended inputs. Verify that the operating voltage aligns with the specified PECL or NECL ranges.

Part Context

This part belongs to the 100LVEL series of low voltage ECL receivers. The series is characterized by temperature compensation and high-speed switching capabilities. The device provides a drop-in replacement option for similar SOIC packages while utilizing a smaller MSOP form factor. It is designed to meet JEDEC latch-up test specifications.

Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the Fairchild MSOP-8 package as a drop-in replacement for the ON TSSOP-8 package. Verify pinout compatibility and thermal characteristics when substituting between these specific package types.
