MC100EP16D

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16D is a single-channel differential receiver/driver from the onsemi MC100EP16 series, designed for high-speed data transmission. It operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V (VEE = 0V) or NECL mode with VEE from -3.0V to -5.5V (VCC = 0V). The device features a typical propagation delay of 220ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4GHz. It includes an internal VBB reference voltage output for biasing and input switching. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• High-speed performance with typical propagation delay of 220ps and maximum frequency greater than 4GHz.
• Wide operating voltage range supporting both PECL and NECL modes for flexible system integration.
• Internal VBB reference voltage generation allows for AC coupling biasing and single-ended input conversion.
• Open input default state ensures Q output remains low when inputs are floating or pulled to VEE.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources requiring fast output transition times.
• High-speed data transmission systems utilizing ECL logic families.
• Signal processing circuits requiring differential receiver/driver functionality.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' corresponds to the SOIC-8 package variant as documented in official datasheets. Confirm that the required operating mode aligns with the specified voltage ranges for PECL or NECL applications. Ensure compatibility with the -40°C to +85°C industrial temperature rating for the intended environment. Cross-reference the part number against current manufacturer revisions to ensure availability of the correct manufacturing lot.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources where output transition speed exceeds standard ECL capabilities. The MC100EP16 series offers temperature compensation compared to non-temperature-compensated variants. Consider the internal VBB feature if the design requires biasing for AC-coupled inputs or single-ended operation without external reference components. Verify package constraints match the available SOIC-8 footprint.

Specialty Logic Part Context

The MC100EP16D belongs to the MC10/100EP16 family of world-class differential receiver/drivers. This series is functionally equivalent to EL16 and LVEL16 devices but provides significantly faster output transition times. The '100' designation indicates the inclusion of temperature compensation features, enhancing stability across varying thermal conditions compared to the base '10' series.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How does the MC100EP16 handle open inputs?

When inputs are open or pulled to VEE, internal input clamps force the Q output to a low state, ensuring a defined default condition.

What is the purpose of the VBB pin?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage used for biasing AC-coupled inputs or serving as a switch reference for single-ended inputs.
