MC100EP16FDTR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16FDTR2G is a differential receiver/driver from the onsemi MC100 series, packaged in an 8-lead TSSOP. It features reduced output swings for faster rise/fall transition times of 100 ps typical and supports maximum toggle frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. The device operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V (VEE = 0 V) or NECL mode with VEE ranging from -3.0 V to -5.5 V (VCC = 0 V). It includes temperature compensation, open input default states, and safety clamps on inputs.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster rise and fall transition times compared to standard EP16 devices due to reduced output swing design.
• Includes internal temperature compensation within the 100 Series architecture.
• Provides an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin for single-ended input biasing or AC coupling rebiasing.
• Incorporates open input default states and safety clamps on inputs to ensure defined logic levels during undefined conditions.

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 the specific suffix 'DT' confirms the TSSOP-8 package type required for your PCB layout. Confirm that the 'R2G' suffix indicates tape and reel packaging suitable for automated assembly processes. Ensure the component meets Pb-Free requirements if your manufacturing standards mandate lead-free compliance. Cross-reference the ordering information table to validate shipping quantities associated with this specific part number variant.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring faster transition times than standard ECL drivers provide. Choose the PECL operating range for positive supply configurations or NECL for negative supply setups. Consider the integrated VBB pin if single-ended biasing or AC coupling is needed without external voltage dividers. Verify thermal management requirements based on the junction-to-ambient resistance values provided in the datasheet tables.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC100EP16 family, which offers enhanced performance over the legacy EP16 devices. The MC100 series is characterized by its temperature-compensated design and optimized output swing characteristics. It serves as a direct functional equivalent to other high-speed ECL receivers/drivers while providing improved switching speeds suitable for demanding digital communication interfaces.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

The MC100EP16F is functionally equivalent to the EP16 device but provides higher performance capabilities. Designers replacing older EP16 components should account for the reduced output swing characteristics which impact voltage levels and termination requirements.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How does the MC100EP16FDTR2G handle unused differential inputs?

For single-ended input conditions, unused differential inputs can be connected to the VBB pin, which acts as an internally generated switching reference voltage. Alternatively, VBB can be used to rebias AC coupled inputs.

What are the power supply operating ranges for this device?

The device supports PECL mode with VCC from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE at 0 V. It also supports NECL mode with VCC at 0 V and VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V.
