MC100EPT25DR2

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100EPT25DR2 is a differential ECL to LVTTL translator manufactured by onsemi. It operates with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 3.6 V and VEE from -5.5 V to -3.0 V, with GND at 0 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 1.1 ns and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 275 MHz. It provides 24 mA TTL output current capability. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package and functions as a single-channel unidirectional converter.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts differential ECL signals to LVTTL logic levels for system interfacing
• Includes safety clamp protection on input pins to prevent damage from abnormal signals
• Provides Q output that defaults to LOW state when inputs are open or connected to VEE

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Clock signal translation between different logic families
• Data signal conversion in high-speed processing systems
• Interfacing ECL sources with LVTTL destination circuits

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DR2 indicates tape and reel packaging configuration distinct from tube variants. Confirm RoHS compliance status and REACH registration details match project requirements. Ensure voltage supply rails strictly adhere to the specified 3.0-3.6 V and -5.5 to -3.0 V ranges during integration testing.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when converting differential ECL outputs to LVTTL inputs within the specified voltage window. The 1.1 ns typical delay suits applications requiring sub-nanosecond response times. Consider the 8-SOIC footprint for surface mount assembly constraints. Evaluate thermal dissipation needs given the dual-supply operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100EPT series of level translators designed for mixed-signal environments. It bridges legacy ECL infrastructure with modern low-voltage TTL standards. The single-gate architecture minimizes board space compared to multi-channel alternatives while maintaining high-frequency performance characteristics essential for timing-critical designs.
