MC100EPT20DT

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EPT20DT is a single-channel, unidirectional voltage level translator manufactured by onsemi. It converts LVTTL or LVCMOS input signals to differential Low Voltage Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (LVPECL) outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V with ground at 0 V. It features temperature compensation characteristic of the 100 Series and utilizes an 8-lead TSSOP package. Key electrical parameters include a maximum input clock frequency exceeding 1 GHz and propagation delays ranging from 280 ps to 490 ps depending on operating conditions.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended LVTTL/LVCMOS inputs to differential LVPECL outputs
• Includes internal temperature compensation for stable performance across operating temperatures
• Features PNP TTL input structure to minimize loading on driving circuits
• Q output defaults to HIGH state when the input signal is open

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed digital communication systems requiring interface translation
• Clock distribution networks utilizing PECL logic levels
• Applications demanding minimal power consumption and small form factor integration

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DT corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package configuration before procurement. Confirm RoHS compliance status as indicated in the ordering information table. Ensure the design accounts for the thermal requirements associated with the exposed pad if applicable to the specific variant. Check current availability status as some devices in this family may be discontinued.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard TTL/CMOS logic families with high-speed PECL receivers. The device is suitable for designs constrained by space due to its compact TSSOP packaging. Consider the 100 Series designation for applications requiring temperature-compensated characteristics over the industrial temperature range. Validate that the required propagation delay specifications align with the system timing budget.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10EPT20 family of translators produced by onsemi. The 100 Series designation indicates enhanced features such as temperature compensation compared to the base 10 Series. The device is designed for use in environments where low power and high speed are critical constraints. It serves as a bridge between standard logic levels and high-performance ECL-based architectures.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

MC10EPT20DG: Base series equivalent without temperature compensation. MC100EPT20DR2G: Same function in tape and reel packaging. MC100EPT20MNR4G: Alternative DFN-8 package option.
