MC100EP16FDR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16FDR2G is a differential receiver/driver from the MC100EP series, featuring reduced output swing for faster transition times. It operates in PECL mode (VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V) or NECL mode (VEE = -3.0 V to -5.5 V). Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and a maximum toggle frequency exceeding 4 GHz. The device includes an internal VBB reference voltage pin, open input default states, and safety clamps on inputs.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster rise/fall transition times compared to standard EP16 devices due to reduced output swings.
• Includes temperature compensation within the 100 Series for stable performance across operating temperatures.
• Provides an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin for single-ended input biasing or AC coupling.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• High-speed data transmission systems
• Clock distribution networks

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix DR2G corresponds to the SOIC-8 package in tape and reel format containing 2500 units per reel. Confirm the 'G' suffix indicates Pb-Free compliance as specified in the manufacturer's ordering information table. Ensure the component meets RoHS standards before integration into final assemblies.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring faster transition times than standard ECL drivers provide. Choose the MC100EP16FDR2G over the MC10EP16 if temperature compensation is required. Ensure the design supports either PECL or NECL power supply configurations based on system requirements.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EP family of high-performance ECL logic devices manufactured by onsemi. It is functionally equivalent to the MC10EP16 but offers enhanced AC performance characteristics. The device is designed for applications demanding high-speed differential signaling with reduced output voltage swings.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

The MC10EP16 is functionally equivalent but lacks the reduced output swing features. The MC100EP16VS offers variable output swing instead of fixed reduced swing. Verify package compatibility and thermal requirements when substituting these alternatives.

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. It must be decoupled via a 0.01 µF capacitor when used.

How does the reduced output swing affect performance?

The reduced output swing results in significantly faster rise and fall transition times compared to the standard EP16 device, making it suitable for interfacing with high-frequency sources.
