MC100EP16VCDR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16VCDR2G is a single-channel differential line transceiver from the onsemi MC100EP series. It operates as an ECL-compatible receiver and driver with a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. It includes an internal reference voltage output (VBB) for biasing or single-ended conversion. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package and functions within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Supports high-speed data transmission with low propagation delay and high-frequency capability
• Features an internal VBB pin for AC coupling biasing or single-ended input reference
• Includes input safety clamping and open-input default low state for system stability

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Clock distribution networks
• Data acquisition systems requiring differential signaling

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'VCDR2G' against official datasheets to confirm the SOIC-8 tape-and-reel packaging configuration. Ensure compatibility with 3.3 V or 5 V PECL/NECL power domains. Confirm RoHS compliance status for the specific manufacturing batch prior to integration into final assemblies.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring fast transition times compared to standard ECL devices. The integrated VBB generator simplifies circuit design by eliminating external bias resistors. Verify that the 8-SOIC footprint matches the PCB layout constraints and thermal requirements.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EP family, which provides enhanced performance over legacy EL16 and LVEL16 devices. The 100-series designation indicates temperature-compensated characteristics. It serves as a direct replacement for older generation differential drivers in high-performance computing and telecommunications infrastructure.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should the VBB pin be handled if not used?

If the VBB pin is not utilized for biasing or reference purposes, it must be left floating.

What is the default output state during an open input condition?

Internal input clamping forces the Q output to a low logic level when inputs are open or pulled to VEE.
