MC100LVEP16DR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100LVEP16DR2G is a differential receiver/driver from the MC10/100LVEP16 series, 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 ranging from -2.375 V to -3.8 V (VCC = 0 V). The device features a typical propagation delay of 240 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. Power supply current typically ranges from 22 mA to 30 mA depending on temperature. It includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage output and is housed in an SOIC-8 NB package.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Functionally equivalent to EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices with significantly faster output transition times.
• Includes an internally generated VBB pin for single-ended input switching references or AC coupling biasing.
• Features open input default states where D pins default LOW and D** pins default to VCC/2 when left open.
• Contains temperature compensation circuitry characteristic of the 100 Series.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high frequency sources
• Low voltage (2.5 V) source interfacing
• LVDS input compatible applications

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 and Pb-Free status as indicated by the marking diagram. Check for discontinuation notices regarding the base part number MC100LVEP16DG before finalizing procurement plans.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring ECL differential signaling with high-speed performance. Ensure the operating voltage aligns with PECL or NECL requirements. Consider the thermal resistance values if operating at elevated temperatures. Verify that the internal VBB pin usage meets decoupling and current sourcing limits specified in the datasheet.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100LVEP16 family of world-class differential receiver/drivers. The 100 Series variant specifically incorporates temperature compensation. It serves as a high-performance alternative to older ECL logic families, offering improved speed suitable for modern high-frequency data transmission systems.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should the VBB pin be handled if not used?

When the VBB pin is not utilized, it should be left open.

What are the default output states for open inputs?

If the D pins are left open, they will default LOW. If the D** pins are left open, they will default to VCC/2.
