MC100E416FN

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100E416FN is a 5-bit differential line receiver from the onsemi MC100 series, housed in a 28-lead PLCC package. It features high-frequency outputs with 2.0 GHz bandwidth and incorporates two internal stages of gain. The device supports PECL mode (VCC = 4.2 V to 5.7 V) and NECL mode (VEE = -4.2 V to -5.7 V). Key electrical parameters include a maximum propagation delay of 600 ps, an operating temperature range of 0°C to +85°C, and ESD protection exceeding 2 kV (HBM).

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Incorporates two internal stages of gain for high-bandwidth amplifier applications.
• Features differential inputs with internal clamp structures that force unused gate outputs to a LOW state.
• Includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin available for single-ended input conditions or AC coupling rebiasing.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering very high-speed oscillators.
• High-bandwidth amplifier applications.
• Differential line receiving in ECL logic systems.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'FN' corresponds to the standard PLCC-28 package configuration as documented in the datasheet ordering information. Confirm whether the required unit is the lead-free variant (FNG) or the standard version based on project specifications. Ensure all VCC, VCCO, and VEE pins are externally connected to power supplies during validation to guarantee proper operation.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when a 5-channel differential receiver with integrated gain is required for high-frequency signal processing. The MC100 series offers temperature compensation compared to the MC10 series. Consider the 28-lead PLCC footprint for PCB layout compatibility. Verify that the system operates within the specified PECL or NECL voltage ranges and thermal limits.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10E416/MC100E416 family of 5V/EnECL quint differential line receivers manufactured by onsemi. The MC100 series specifically includes temperature compensation features not present in the base MC10 series. The part is designed for robust performance in demanding high-speed digital environments requiring precise timing and signal integrity.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10E416FN serves as the non-temperature-compensated equivalent within the same family.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should unused differential inputs be handled?

Unused gates can be left open due to internal clamp structures that force the output to a LOW state. Alternatively, they may be connected to the VBB pin as a switching reference voltage.

What is the function of the VBB pin?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage. It can be used for single-ended input conditions or to rebias AC-coupled inputs, requiring decoupling via a 0.01 µF capacitor if utilized.
