MC100LVEP11DT

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The MC100LVEP11DTG is a differential 1:2 fanout buffer from the ECL family, manufactured by onsemi. It features temperature compensation and supports PECL mode with VCC ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V (VEE = 0 V) or NECL mode with VEE from −2.375 V to −3.8 V (VCC = 0 V). The device operates at frequencies up to 3.0 GHz with a typical propagation delay of 240 ps. It is housed in an 8-lead TSSOP package (DT suffix) and includes LVDS input compatibility.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Differential 1:2 fanout buffer with guaranteed AC parameters over temperature
• Maximum frequency exceeding 3.0 GHz with typical propagation delay of 240 ps
• Supports PECL (2.375 V–3.8 V) and NECL (−2.375 V to −3.8 V) operating modes
• LVDS input compatible with open input default state logic

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• Differential signal buffering in telecommunications equipment
• Low-voltage ECL/PECL system interconnects

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix DTG corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package with Pb-Free compliance. Confirm the '100' series designation indicates temperature compensation if required for the specific application environment. Ensure the datasheet revision matches the design specifications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select this component when a differential 1:2 split is needed with low skew (<20 ps output-to-output). Choose the MC100 variant over the MC10 series if temperature compensation is necessary for operation across the full -40°C to +85°C range. Verify power supply constraints align with PECL or NECL requirements.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10/100LVEP11 family, which is pin and functionally equivalent to the legacy EP11 device. The '100' prefix denotes the inclusion of internal temperature compensation circuitry, distinguishing it from the standard MC10 series while maintaining identical AC performance characteristics.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

The MC10LVEP11DTG is a direct functional substitute, differing only by the absence of temperature compensation. Other ECL Pro™ family buffers may require level shifting or voltage adjustment.
