MC100EP16VTDT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP16VTDT is a differential receiver/driver in the MC100 series, housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package. It operates in PECL mode (VCC = 3.0 V to 5.5 V, VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode (VCC = 0 V, VEE = -3.0 V to -5.5 V). The device features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and a maximum toggle frequency exceeding 4 GHz. It includes a variable output swing controlled by the VCTRL pin and an internal 50 Ω termination network accessible via the VTT pin.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features a VCTRL input pin that controls the amplitude of the outputs, allowing for variable output swing adjustments.
• Includes an internal 50 ohm termination network connected to the VTT pin, designed for 50 ohm line impedance environments.
• Provides temperature compensation within the 100 Series logic family.
• Supports open input default states with specific internal pull-down resistors.

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed data transmission systems requiring differential signaling
• Clock distribution networks utilizing ECL or PECL standards
• Signal processing circuits interfacing with high-frequency sources

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the exact ordering suffix 'DT' corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package configuration required for your design. Confirm that the component meets RoHS compliance standards if mandated by your project specifications. Ensure that the supply voltage ranges align with your system's power delivery architecture before finalizing procurement.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when variable output swing control and integrated termination are necessary for signal integrity. It is suitable for applications requiring operation across both PECL and NECL voltage domains. Consider the thermal resistance characteristics and operating temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) relative to your board's thermal management capabilities.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EP16 family of differential receivers and drivers. It is functionally equivalent to the standard MC100EP16 but adds specific control pins for output amplitude and termination. The device is manufactured by onsemi and is part of their high-performance ECL logic product line.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

The MC100EP16 is a functional equivalent without the variable swing and termination features. Verify pin compatibility and electrical parameter alignment before substitution.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How does the VCTRL pin affect the output?

The VCTRL pin controls the output amplitude. When left open, it defaults to LOW, resulting in 100% output amplitude. Adjusting the voltage allows for variable swing control.

What is the purpose of the VTT pin?

The VTT pin provides access to an internal 50 ohm termination resistor, intended for use in 50 ohm line impedance environments to improve signal integrity.
