MC100EP91MN

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EP91MN is a three-channel voltage level translator manufactured by onsemi, designed to convert various single-ended and differential input logic levels to NECL outputs. It accepts LVPECL, LVTTL, LVCMOS, HSTL, CML, or LVDS signals and converts them into differential NECL output signals compatible with -3.0 V to -5.5 V systems. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.8 V for VCC and supports data rates up to 2 Gb/s. It features a typical propagation delay of 500 ps and is housed in a QFN-24 package suitable for surface mount applications.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Supports conversion from multiple input standards including LVPECL, LVTTL, LVCMOS, HSTL, CML, and LVDS to differential NECL outputs
• Provides stable operation through internal biasing that forces specific output states when inputs are left open
• Capable of handling high-speed data transmission with a maximum data rate of 2 Gb/s

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing between different logic families in high-speed digital circuits
• Level translation in telecommunications equipment requiring NECL compatibility
• Signal conditioning in data acquisition systems converting standard logic to ECL-family outputs

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official documentation to confirm package type and temperature rating. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required lead-free status and RoHS compliance specifications. Confirm availability through authorized distributors as supply chain conditions may vary. Cross-reference the datasheet revision date to ensure alignment with current design requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing mixed-signal environments requiring conversion from common logic levels like LVCMOS or LVPECL to negative ECL standards. Consider the 500 ps propagation delay and 2 Gb/s data rate limits for timing-critical designs. Evaluate the QFN-24 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and PCB layout space relative to alternative packages.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the MC100EP series of high-speed ECL logic components produced by onsemi. The series focuses on providing robust signal integrity and fast switching speeds for demanding electronic applications. As a level translator, it bridges the gap between modern low-voltage logic standards and legacy or specialized high-speed ECL interfaces.
