MC100EP16DT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16DT is a high-performance differential receiver/driver from the onsemi 100EP series, housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V with VEE at 0 V (PECL mode) or VCC at 0 V and VEE between -3.0 V and -5.5 V (NECL mode). The device features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. It includes temperature compensation, internal input clamps that force the Q output LOW when inputs are open or pulled to VEE, and a dedicated VBB pin for reference voltage generation.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster output transition times compared to EL16 and LVEL16 devices, making it suitable for interfacing with high-frequency sources.
• Includes a unique internally generated VBB pin available as a switching reference voltage for single-ended inputs or AC-coupled input biasing.
• Incorporates safety clamps on inputs and an open-input default state where the Q output is forced LOW.
• Contains temperature compensation circuitry characteristic of the 100 Series.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• High-speed data transmission systems
• Signal processing applications requiring differential ECL logic

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DT' corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package configuration required for your design. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as these attributes may vary by production lot. Ensure the ordering information matches the exact part number to avoid discrepancies in package type or shipping quantity.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when higher performance than EL16 or LVEL16 is required, specifically regarding output transition speeds. Consider the MC100EP16DT if temperature compensation is necessary for stable operation across the specified industrial temperature range. Verify compatibility with PECL or NECL power supply configurations based on system voltage requirements.

Specialty Logic Part Context

The MC100EP16DT belongs to the EP16 family of world-class differential receiver/drivers. It is functionally equivalent to the EL16 and LVEL16 devices but offers enhanced performance capabilities. The 100 Series designation indicates the inclusion of temperature compensation, distinguishing it from other variants in the broader ECL logic portfolio.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Functionally equivalent parts include the EL16 and LVEL16, though the MC100EP16DT provides faster output transition times. When substituting, verify that the replacement device meets the required speed specifications and supports the necessary PECL or NECL operating modes.
