MC100EP90DT

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EP90DT is a triple ECL to LVPECL/PECL translator manufactured by onsemi. It accepts differential LVECL or ECL inputs and translates them to differential LVPECL or PECL outputs. The device operates with VCC from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 260 ps, a maximum frequency exceeding 3 GHz, and a typical duty cycle skew of 20 ps. It features an internal temperature compensation circuit and includes a VBB output for single-ended input interfacing.
