MC100EP196BMNG

Overview

The MC100EP196BMNG is a programmable delay chip designed for clock deskewing and timing adjustment. It provides variable delay of differential NECL/PECL input transitions with a digitally selectable resolution of approximately 10 ps and a net range up to 10.4 ns. The device features an FTUNE pin for analog fine-tuning of output delay from 0 to 60 ps. Operating within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V, it supports a maximum input clock frequency exceeding 1.2 GHz. The component is housed in a QFN-32 package and operates across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Programmable delay matrix with 10 ps digital increments and analog fine-tuning capability via the FTUNE pin
• Supports cascading multiple units to extend programmable delay range without external gating
• Accepts LVPECL, LVNECL, and LVDS signal levels at the IN/IN inputs
• Configurable data select inputs D[9:0] for LVCMOS, LVTTL, or ECL logic levels

Applications

• Multi-channel deskewing to eliminate timing skews in high-speed systems
• Precise measurement of unknown delays in high-speed devices using EP31 flip-flops
• Timing adjustment in differential clock distribution networks

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix MN corresponds to the QFN-32 package configuration. Confirm that the procurement source provides the official onsemi datasheet MC100EP196B/D for technical validation. Ensure compliance with RoHS directives as indicated by the Pb-Free designation in the product documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when precise sub-nanosecond delay adjustments are required for differential signals. Consider the FTUNE pin requirement if analog fine-tuning beyond the 10 ps digital steps is necessary. Evaluate the cascading architecture if the total delay range exceeds the single-chip limit of approximately 10.4 ns.

Part Context

This device belongs to the MC100EP196B series, which includes variants such as the MC100EP196AMNG. The BMNG suffix specifically denotes the QFN-32 package variant. It shares architectural similarities with the EP195 but adds the FTUNE functionality for enhanced tunability.

Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include MC100EP196BFAG.
