MC100EP16FDTG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16FDTG is a differential receiver/driver from the onsemi 100 Series, housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package. It operates with PECL (VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V) or NECL (VEE = -3.0 V to -5.5 V) power supplies. The device features reduced output swings for faster transitions, achieving typical rise/fall times of 100 ps and maximum toggle frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. Propagation delay ranges from 170 ps to 300 ps depending on temperature. It includes an internal VBB reference voltage pin for single-ended input biasing.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster rise and fall transition times compared to standard EP16 devices due to reduced output swing design.
• Includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin available exclusively to this device for AC coupling rebiasing or single-ended switching references.
• Incorporates safety clamps on inputs to protect against abnormal signals and meets JEDEC latchup test specifications.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high frequency sources
• Clock distribution systems
• Data signal processing applications

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix DTG corresponds specifically to the TSSOP-8 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated by the G suffix. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the manufacturer's part number MC100EP16FDTG exactly to avoid receiving non-compliant or incorrect package types.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring faster transition times than standard ECL drivers provide. It is suitable for designs utilizing either PECL or NECL logic families. Consider the availability of the VBB pin if single-ended input configurations or AC-coupled input biasing are required within the circuit architecture.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC100EP16 family, which consists of differential receiver/drivers. The MC100EP16F variant is functionally equivalent to the EP16 but offers higher performance capabilities through reduced output swings. It is part of the broader 100 Series, which contains temperature-compensated logic designed for robust operation across varying environmental conditions.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should the VBB pin be handled if not used?

When the VBB pin is not utilized for single-ended input conditions or AC coupling rebiasing, it should be left open.

What is the recommended decoupling for the VBB pin?

If the VBB pin is used, it must be decoupled to ground via a 0.01 μF capacitor, and current sourcing or sinking must be limited to 0.5 mA.
