MC100ELT20DG

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100ELT20DG is a single-gate voltage level translator from the onsemi MC100LVELT20 series, designed to convert 3.3V LVTTL or LVCMOS input signals into differential LVPECL outputs. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V with ground at 0 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 390 ps and supports maximum input clock frequencies exceeding 0.8 GHz. Packaged in an SOIC-8 surface-mount format, it includes temperature compensation for stable performance across industrial temperatures.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended 3.3V logic levels to differential PECL outputs
• Includes internal temperature compensation for stability
• Features PNP TTL inputs to minimize loading on driving circuits
• Q output defaults high when the input signal is open

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed communication systems requiring level translation
• Clock distribution networks with strict timing requirements
• Data acquisition systems interfacing low-voltage logic with ECL components

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DG' corresponds to the tube packaging variant rather than the reel variant 'DR2G'. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may vary by production date. Ensure the design accommodates the required 3.3V supply rail and proper termination for the differential LVPECL outputs to maintain signal integrity.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 3.3V CMOS/TTL sources with differential LVPECL loads. The 100 Series designation indicates integrated temperature compensation, which is critical for maintaining consistent propagation delay in varying thermal environments. Compare against the standard MC10EPT20 if temperature compensation is not required for the specific application environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100LVELT20 family of translators manufactured by onsemi. The 100 Series distinguishes these devices by incorporating temperature compensation circuitry, ensuring performance consistency across the specified operating temperature range compared to non-compensated variants.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

MC10EPT20 (lacks temperature compensation), MC100LVELT20DR2G (reel packaging variant).
