MC100EP445FAG

Specialized Overview

The MC100EP445FAG is a high-speed serial-to-parallel logic converter manufactured by onsemi, operating within the ECL logic family. It accepts four input lines and converts them into eight parallel output lines. The device supports dual power supply voltages of 3.3 V and 5 V, with an operational range from 3 V to 5.5 V. It functions at frequencies between 2 GHz and 3.3 GHz. Key electrical parameters include a propagation delay of 1310 ps and 1557 ps, with a typical operating current of 122 mA. The component is housed in a 32-pin LQFP package, suitable for surface mount installation, and operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialized Feature Summary

• Performs high-speed conversion of serial data streams into parallel formats using ECL technology.
• Supports flexible power supply configurations for both 3.3V and 5V systems.
• Provides eight parallel outputs derived from four input lines for data distribution.

Specialized Applications

• High-speed data acquisition systems requiring serial-to-parallel conversion.
• Telecommunications infrastructure utilizing ECL logic families.
• Test and measurement equipment operating at gigahertz frequencies.

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as onsemi, resulting from corporate acquisitions, rather than Motorola. Confirm the specific suffix FAG corresponds to the LQFP-32 package and lead-free RoHS compliance. Ensure compatibility with the required 3.3V or 5V ECL power rails before procurement. Check for moisture sensitivity handling requirements due to the surface mount packaging type.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when a dedicated serial-to-parallel converter is required for ECL-based designs. It is appropriate for applications needing four inputs and eight outputs with high-frequency operation up to 3.3 GHz. Consider the 122 mA current consumption and thermal dissipation capabilities of the LQFP-32 package during PCB layout. Verify that the system voltage aligns with the specified 3 V to 5.5 V operating range.

Specialized Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EP445 series of high-speed ECL logic devices. It is categorized under Serial to Parallel Logic Converters within the broader Logic ICs subcategory. The component shares the LQFP-32 footprint with other high-speed logic devices like the MC100LVEP111FAG, facilitating potential board space optimization in dense designs.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Public documentation lists MC100EP40DTG as a part number alias for this component. Verify pinout and electrical specifications against the datasheet before substituting with any other serial-to-parallel converters.
