MC100EP16FDR2

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16FDR2 is a differential receiver/driver from the 100 Series, functionally equivalent to the EP16 but with higher performance capabilities. It features reduced output swings for significantly faster rise/fall transition times compared to the standard EP16, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The device includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin and operates in PECL mode (VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V) or NECL mode (VEE = -3.0 V to -5.5 V). It supports a maximum toggle frequency exceeding 4 GHz.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features reduced output swing for faster rise and fall transition times compared to standard EP16 devices.
• Includes an internal VBB reference voltage pin for single-ended input biasing or AC coupling rebiasing.
• Incorporates open input default states and safety clamps on inputs for robust operation.
• Contains temperature compensation within the 100 Series architecture.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• High-speed data transmission systems
• Signal processing applications requiring fast transition times

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix DR2 corresponds to the SOIC-8 package in tape and reel configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status if required by specific project standards. Ensure thermal management meets junction-to-ambient resistance requirements for the selected operating environment. Validate supply voltage ranges against PECL or NECL operational modes before integration.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when faster transition times than the standard EP16 are required for high-frequency interfacing. Consider the reduced output swing characteristics and their impact on noise margins. Verify compatibility with existing ECL logic families and termination schemes. Evaluate the need for the internal VBB reference voltage feature for unused differential inputs.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EP16 family of ECL differential receivers/drivers. It is designed as a high-performance alternative to the MC10EP16, offering improved speed due to reduced output swings. The device is manufactured by onsemi and is part of their broader portfolio of high-speed logic components.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10EP16: Functionally equivalent but lacks the reduced output swing and faster transition times of the MC100EP16F series.

Specialty Logic FAQ

What is the purpose of the VBB pin?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage. It can be used to bias unused differential inputs for single-ended operation or to rebias AC coupled inputs.

How does the MC100EP16F differ from the MC10EP16?

The MC100EP16F features reduced output swings, resulting in significantly faster rise and fall transition times compared to the MC10EP16, making it better suited for high-frequency applications.
