MC100EP16FDG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16FDG is a differential receiver/driver from the onsemi 100 Series, designed for high-frequency applications. It features reduced output swings that significantly accelerate rise and fall transition times compared to standard EP16 devices. The component supports PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V (VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode with VEE ranging from -3.0 V to -5.5 V (VCC = 0 V). It operates within an ambient temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features reduced output swing architecture to achieve faster rise and fall transition times than standard EP16 devices.
• Includes an internal VBB pin providing a switching reference voltage for single-ended inputs or AC-coupled input rebiasing.
• Incorporates safety clamps on inputs and open input default states for enhanced operational reliability.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high frequency sources
• PECL logic circuits operating at 3.3 V or 5.0 V
• NECL logic circuits operating with negative supply rails

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific package suffix against the datasheet ordering information to ensure correct physical dimensions and shipping quantities. Confirm RoHS compliance status by checking for the 'G' suffix in the part number. Ensure thermal management requirements are met, particularly if utilizing the DFN8 variant which requires connection to a thermal conduit.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this device when higher performance capabilities and faster transition times are required compared to the standard EP16. Consider the availability of the internal VBB pin for simplified biasing in single-ended configurations. Evaluate the trade-off between the reduced output swing and the resulting voltage levels to ensure compatibility with downstream logic thresholds.
