MC100EP17DTR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP17DTR2G is a quad differential bus receiver from the onsemi 100EP series, designed for high-speed signal processing. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 5.5 V and draws a typical operating current of 70 mA. The device features four differential receivers with differential input and output signals. It is housed in a 20-TSSOP surface-mount package and supports operation across an extended temperature range from -40°C to +85°C. This component is part of the discontinued MC100EP17 family.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Provides four independent differential receiver channels for high-bandwidth data transmission.
• Features an internal reference voltage generator (VBB) pin for single-ended input biasing or AC-coupled input re-biasing.
• Includes input protection mechanisms such as safety clamps to guard against electrostatic discharge and overvoltage conditions.
• Offers flexible power supply compatibility supporting both PECL and NECL logic modes.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators requiring frequencies exceeding 3.0 GHz.
• High-bandwidth amplifier applications utilizing the device's two-stage internal gain design.
• General-purpose differential line receiving in ECL-based communication systems.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

This component has been officially declared End-of-Life (EOL) by the manufacturer, with product discontinuation notices dating back to July 2016. It is classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Procurement is restricted to existing surplus stock held by distributors or third-party liquidators. Verify authenticity and storage history carefully due to the long period since active manufacturing ceased.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Engineers should avoid selecting this part for new designs due to its discontinued status and lack of future supply assurance. Consider evaluating alternative components within the modernized 100EP or LVEP families that offer similar differential reception capabilities but remain in active production. Ensure any substitute maintains compatibility with the required 3V to 5.5V supply range and TSSOP-20 footprint if board space is constrained.

Specialty Logic Part Context

The MC100EP17DTR2G belongs to the legacy 100EP series of high-speed ECL devices manufactured by onsemi. This series was engineered for applications demanding rapid switching speeds and precise timing. The specific DTR2G suffix indicates a tape-and-reel packaging format suitable for automated assembly processes, distinguishing it from tube-packaged variants like the DTG version.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

No direct public substitute part numbers are confirmed for this discontinued component. Users must identify functional equivalents from other manufacturers or newer onsemi generations independently.
