MC100EP116FAG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP116FAG is a hex differential line receiver manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the MC10/100EP series. It features a 3.0 GHz bandwidth suitable for buffering high-speed oscillators. The device operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE at 0 V, or in NECL mode with VCC at 0 V and VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. It provides a typical propagation delay of 260 ps and includes safety clamps on inputs. The Q output defaults low when inputs are open or at VEE. It is available in Pb-free packages.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Hex differential line receiver architecture based on EP16 device technology
• High-frequency performance with 3.0 GHz bandwidth for oscillator buffering
• Dual-mode operation supporting both PECL and NECL voltage configurations
• Integrated input safety clamps and defined default output states

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering very high speed oscillators
• High-speed signal distribution networks
• PECL/NECL logic interface circuits

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify RoHS compliance status as older variants may differ. Confirm package marking and date codes against current manufacturing standards. Check for any PCN updates regarding assembly sites or material changes. Ensure supply chain stability for lead times associated with this specific suffix.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when hex differential reception is required for ECL-family signals. Compare propagation delay specifications against system timing budgets. Verify power supply requirements match available PECL or NECL rails. Consider thermal dissipation capabilities within the chosen package type.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10/100EP family of high-speed ECL devices. It serves as a buffer/receiver variant within the broader EP16 functional group. The '100' prefix indicates specific temperature and electrical characteristics compared to the '10' series. It complements drivers like the MC10EP116 for complete link solutions.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10EP116FAG is a direct equivalent with identical pinout and functionality. MC10EP116FAR2 offers alternative packaging options. Verify that substitute parts maintain the same 3.0 GHz bandwidth and 260 ps delay specifications.
