MC100EP16DR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16DR2G is a high-performance differential receiver/driver from the 100 Series, functionally equivalent to the EL16 and LVEL16 devices but with superior performance capabilities. It features significantly faster output transition times, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The device includes temperature compensation within the 100 Series. It supports PECL mode (VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V, VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode (VCC = 0 V, VEE = -3.0 V to -5.5 V). Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 220 ps, a maximum frequency greater than 4 GHz, and a typical power supply current of 25 mA at 25°C under PECL conditions.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features temperature compensation inherent to the 100 Series for stable operation across varying thermal environments.
• Includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin available for biasing AC coupled inputs or setting switching references for unused differential inputs.
• Provides safety clamps on inputs that force the Q output LOW when inputs are open or pulled to VEE.
• Delivers world-class differential receiver/driver performance with output transition times significantly faster than comparable EL16 and LVEL16 devices.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources in data transmission systems.
• High-speed data processing applications requiring fast output transitions.
• ECL logic circuits utilizing PECL or NECL operating modes.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DR2G corresponds to the TSSOP-8 tape and reel packaging configuration as listed in the ordering information. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status by checking the package marking for the Pb-Free indicator. Ensure the application environment remains within the specified operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Validate that the power supply voltages strictly adhere to the PECL or NECL mode limits defined in the datasheet to prevent exceeding maximum ratings.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requires faster output transition times than standard EL16 or LVEL16 devices can provide. The 100 Series selection is appropriate when temperature compensation is required for consistent performance. Choose this part if the design utilizes either PECL or NECL power configurations within the specified voltage ranges. Consider the TSSOP-8 package availability if surface-mount assembly in a small outline form factor is necessary for the PCB layout.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EP16/MC100EP16 family of 3.3 V/5 V ECL Differential Receiver/Drivers. The MC100EP16 variant specifically denotes the inclusion of temperature compensation found in the 100 Series. It serves as a direct functional replacement for older technologies like the EL16 and LVEL16 while offering enhanced speed characteristics. The DR2G suffix indicates the specific tape and reel packaging format for automated assembly processes.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include MC10EP16DG, MC10EP16DTG, MC100EP16DG, MC100EP16DTG, and MC100EP16MNR4G. These alternatives share the same core functionality but may differ in package type such as SOIC-8 NB, TSSOP-8, or DFN8. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution.
