MC100EP17DW

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100EP17DW is a quad differential driver and receiver within the 10EP logic series, manufactured by onsemi. It operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE at 0 V, or in NECL mode with VCC at 0 V and VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 3.0 GHz. It draws approximately 68 mA of operating power current. The component is housed in a SOIC-20 surface-mount package and functions across an industrial temperature range of -40 °C to +85 °C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features a two-stage internal gain design suitable for high-bandwidth amplifier applications and buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators.
• Includes an internally generated voltage source pin (VBB) that serves as a switch reference for unused differential inputs under single-ended conditions or for AC-coupled input re-biasing.
• Equipped with input safety clamps to protect against electrostatic discharge and overvoltage events, ensuring system stability.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators
• High-bandwidth amplifier applications
• Differential line receiving in ECL/PECL/NECL systems

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DW' corresponds to the SOIC-20 package variant when sourcing. Confirm current lifecycle status, as this model may be classified as Not Recommended for New Designs (NRND). Ensure compatibility with required supply voltage configurations for either PECL or NECL operation modes before procurement.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring quad differential signal processing with low propagation delay. Verify that the SOIC-20 footprint aligns with PCB layout constraints. Consider thermal management requirements given the 68 mA operating current. Ensure input signals match the specified voltage levels for the chosen logic mode.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the 10EP series of ECL devices, designed for high-speed digital applications. It complements other components like the MC10EP17DTG, which shares similar electrical characteristics but utilizes a TSSOP-20 package instead of the SOIC-20 form factor found in the MC100EP17DW.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

The MC10EP17DTG is a functional equivalent offering identical electrical performance but packaged in TSSOP-20. Designers must account for the physical footprint difference during substitution. Verify that the alternative package meets mechanical clearance requirements.
