MC100EP116FAR2

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP116FAR2 is a hex differential line receiver from the onsemi MC10/100EP series. It provides six independent channels for high-speed signal reception. The device supports PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and NECL mode with VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 260 ps and a maximum frequency exceeding 3 GHz. It features an open input default state, safety clamps on inputs, and a Q output that defaults low when inputs are open or at VEE.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Hex differential architecture providing six independent receiver channels for parallel data processing.
• High-frequency performance suitable for buffering very high-speed oscillators and fast data transmission.
• Integrated safety clamps on inputs to protect against overvoltage conditions.
• Defined default states where outputs go low if inputs are left open or pulled to VEE.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering very high-speed oscillators in communication systems
• High-speed digital data acquisition interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring differential signaling

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'R2' indicates tape and reel packaging configuration as per manufacturer documentation. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific lot code. Ensure voltage supply rails match the specified PECL or NECL operating ranges before integration. Check for any obsolescence notices regarding this specific part number variant.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when multiple differential channels are required in a single package. Compare propagation delay specifications against system timing requirements. Verify compatibility with existing power supply voltages for either PECL or NECL logic families. Consider thermal management requirements based on the LQFP-32 package type.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100EP family of ECL-compatible components. The '100' prefix typically denotes temperature-compensated variants within the series. It serves as a high-speed alternative to standard logic receivers, designed for applications demanding minimal signal distortion and high bandwidth.
