MC100LVEP11MNR4G

Clock Buffers, Drivers Overview

The MC100LVEP11MNR4G is a differential 1:2 fanout buffer from the 100 Series, featuring temperature compensation. It operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V (VEE = 0 V) or NECL mode with VEE from −3.8 V to −2.375 V (VCC = 0 V). The device supports maximum frequencies exceeding 3.0 GHz, with typical propagation delays of 240 ps and output-to-output skew under 20 ps. It accepts LVDS-compatible inputs and provides open input default states where Q outputs default LOW. Packaged in an 8-lead DFN (MN suffix), it includes an exposed thermal pad for heat dissipation.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Feature Summary

• Differential 1:2 fanout buffer with temperature compensation (100 Series)
• Maximum frequency > 3.0 GHz; typical propagation delay 240 ps
• PECL/NECL operation: VCC 2.375–3.8 V or VEE −3.8 to −2.375 V
• LVDS input compatible; open input defaults Q outputs LOW

Clock Buffers, Drivers Applications

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

Clock Buffers, Drivers Procurement Notes

Verify the ordering suffix MNR4G corresponds to the DFN-8 package and tape & reel quantity of 1000 units. Confirm RoHS compliance and Pb-free status as indicated by the G suffix in standard part numbers. Ensure thermal management requirements for the DFN-8 package are met via the exposed pad connection to the most negative supply or ground.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Selection Notes

Select the MC100LVEP11 variant over the MC10LVEP11 when temperature compensation is required for stable performance across the −40°C to +85°C range. Choose the DFN-8 package (MNR4G) for compact board space and improved thermal conductivity compared to SOIC or TSSOP options. Verify that single-ended CLK input operation remains within voltage limits (VCC ≥ 3.0 V for PECL).

Clock Buffers, Drivers Part Context

This component belongs to the MC10/100LVEP11 family, which is pin and functionally equivalent to the legacy EP11 device. The 100 Series designation indicates internal temperature compensation, distinguishing it from the standard 10 Series. The device serves as a high-speed differential buffer for clock signals in low-voltage ECL applications.

Clock Buffers, Drivers Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitutes include the MC10LVEP11 (non-compensated) and Microchip SY10EP11UZI-TR. Verify functional equivalence and package compatibility before substitution.
