MC100EPT24D

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EPT24D is a unidirectional level translator designed to convert LVCMOS or LVTTL logic levels to differential Low Voltage ECL (LVECL) signals. It operates with a positive supply voltage of +3.3 V and a negative supply voltage of -3.3 V. The device features an 8-pin SOIC surface-mount package. Key electrical specifications include a maximum propagation delay of 2 ns, a minimum operating temperature of -40°C, and a maximum operating temperature of 85°C. It provides differential outputs suitable for high-speed data transmission applications requiring interface between TTL-compatible sources and ECL-compatible loads.
