MC100EP90DTR2G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EP90DTR2G is a triple ECL to LVPECL/PECL translator manufactured by onsemi. It converts differential LVECL or ECL inputs into differential LVPECL or PECL outputs. The device supports VCC supplies from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE supplies 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 cycle-to-cycle jitter under 1 ps. It features a VBB output for single-ended input interfacing, capable of sourcing or sinking up to 0.5 mA.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Provides fully differential design to suppress common-mode noise and enhance signal integrity.
• Includes safety clamps on inputs to protect the device from overvoltage conditions.
• Features an open-input default state where Q outputs remain low when inputs are open or at VEE.
• Incorporates temperature compensation within the 100 Series architecture.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Clock distribution systems requiring ECL to LVPECL translation
• High-speed data acquisition interfaces
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing differential signaling

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm packaging type, as the DTR2G suffix indicates tube packaging while other variants may use tape and reel. Confirm current availability status with the manufacturer, as certain devices in this family are marked as discontinued and not recommended for new designs. Ensure compatibility with required voltage rails before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between ECL logic families and LVPECL/PECL receivers. Ensure the system provides separate positive and negative power rails within the specified ranges. Consider the TSSOP-20 package constraints for thermal management. Verify that the application requires three-channel conversion capability to utilize all available ports efficiently.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100EP90 family of translators produced by onsemi. It is part of the standard product portfolio focused on interface solutions. The 100 Series designation indicates specific performance characteristics including temperature compensation compared to the base 10 Series. It serves as a bridge between legacy ECL standards and modern PECL implementations.
