MC100LVEP16DR2

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100LVEP16DR2G is a high-speed differential receiver/driver from the MC10/100LVEP16 family, manufactured by onsemi. It operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V (VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode with VEE from −2.375 V to −3.8 V (VCC = 0 V). The device features a propagation delay of 240 ps typical and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. It includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage output for single-ended input biasing or unused differential input termination. The component is housed in an SOIC-8 NB package.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Functionally equivalent to EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices but offers significantly faster output transition times.
• Includes temperature compensation within the 100 Series architecture.
• Features an open input default state and LVDS input compatibility.
• Provides an internal VBB pin that can serve as a switching reference voltage or AC coupling bias.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• Low voltage (2.5 V) source interfacing
• High-speed data transmission systems

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'DR2G' corresponds to the SOIC-8 NB package and tape & reel shipping configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free marking requirements. Check current availability as some variants in this family may be discontinued. Ensure thermal management meets junction-to-ambient resistance specifications for the selected operating environment.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with low voltage sources requiring faster transitions than standard LVEL16 devices provide. Choose the 100 series variant if temperature compensation is required. Verify that the application voltage stays within the specified PECL or NECL ranges. Consider the SOIC-8 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100LVEP16 family of ECL differential receivers/drivers. It serves as a world-class solution for high-speed applications, bridging the performance gap between older EL16/LVEL16 devices and newer EP16 models. The 100 series specifically adds temperature compensation capabilities compared to the base 10 series.

Specialty Logic FAQ

What is the function of the VBB pin?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage. It can be used to bias unused differential inputs or AC-coupled inputs under single-ended conditions. When used, it must be decoupled via a 0.01 µF capacitor.

Can the device operate in single-ended mode?

Yes, single-ended CLK input operation is supported. However, it is limited to VCC ≥ 3.0 V in PECL mode or VEE ≤ −3.0 V in NECL mode.
