MC100LVEL90DW

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC100LVEL90DW is a mixed-signal translator manufactured by onsemi, designed for unidirectional signal conversion. It features one circuit with three channels, converting ECL inputs to PECL outputs. The device operates within a supply voltage range of 3 V to 3.8 V and supports a data rate up to 4 GHz. It is housed in a 20-SOIC package (7.50 mm wide) and functions reliably across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts ECL logic levels to PECL standards
• Provides three differential output channels per circuit
• Supports high-speed data transmission up to 4 GHz

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed serial communication interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring level translation
• Data acquisition systems interfacing ECL sources with PECL receivers

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DW' confirms the 20-SOIC package and commercial temperature grade. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some legacy variants may differ. Ensure the application requires unidirectional ECL-to-PECL translation rather than bidirectional or other logic families. Check datasheet for specific pinout compatibility with existing PCB layouts.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing ECL drivers with PECL loads in high-frequency applications. It is suitable for designs requiring single-direction translation without additional buffering complexity. Consider the 20-SOIC footprint for surface-mount assembly. Evaluate thermal management requirements given the operating temperature range and power dissipation characteristics at maximum data rates.
