MC100LVE210FNG

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The MC100LVE210FNG is a low voltage, low skew dual differential ECL fanout buffer designed for clock distribution. It integrates two buffers (1:4 and 1:5) on a single chip to minimize device and system skew. The device supports PECL mode with VCC = 3.0 V to 3.8 V and NECL mode with VEE = -3.0 V to -3.8 V. Key electrical parameters include a maximum toggle frequency of 700 MHz, typical output-to-output skew of 50 ps, and part-to-part skew of 200 ps. Propagation delay ranges from 400 ps to 900 ps depending on input configuration. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Dual differential fanout buffers (1:4 and 1:5) on a single chip
• Low skew performance: 50 ps typical output-to-output, 200 ps part-to-part
• Supports PECL (+3.3V) and NECL (-3.3V) operating modes
• Internal VBB reference voltage output for AC coupling or single-ended inputs

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-performance clock distribution across backplanes
• Board-level clock distribution requiring low skew
• Systems utilizing ECLinPS family components

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the 'G' suffix indicates a Pb-Free package variant. Confirm the PLCC-28 package type matches the design footprint. Check current availability status as older revisions may be subject to change. Ensure proper termination guidelines are followed to maintain specified skew performance.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when dual independent clock signals require minimal skew between them. The internal VBB pin simplifies AC-coupled input designs. Ensure power supply decoupling meets the 0.01 µF requirement for the VBB pin if utilized. Verify that the 700 MHz maximum frequency meets system requirements.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This device belongs to the MC100LVE series, which features temperature compensation. It is part of the ECLinPS family, designed for high-speed digital applications. The PLCC-28 package provides a compact solution for dual-channel buffering compared to using separate single-channel buffers.
