MC100LVEP16DT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100LVEP16DT is a differential receiver/driver in the 100 Series, functionally equivalent to EL16 and EP16 devices. It features a propagation delay of 240 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. Operating ranges include PECL mode with VCC 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 includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage output, open input default states, and LVDS input compatibility.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features temperature compensation for stable performance across operating temperatures.
• Includes an internal VBB pin serving as a switching reference voltage or AC coupling bias source.
• Provides open input default states with specific low-level defaults for D* pins.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage sources.
• High-speed data transmission systems requiring fast output transition times.
• Differential signal buffering and line driving applications.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix DT against the datasheet ordering information to confirm TSSOP-8 packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free marking requirements. Check current availability as some variants may be discontinued. Ensure thermal management aligns with junction-to-ambient resistance specifications for the selected package.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring ECL-compatible differential signaling with LVDS interface capabilities. The 100 series offers temperature compensation compared to standard EP devices. Verify power supply constraints match the specified PECL or NECL operating ranges. Consider the single-ended CLK input limitation when designing clock distribution networks.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10/100LVEP16 family of world-class differential receivers and drivers. It serves as a modern replacement for legacy EL16 and LVEL16 components, offering significantly faster output transition times. The device integrates unique VBB functionality not found in older equivalents, enhancing flexibility in single-ended input configurations.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Functionally equivalent to MC10EP16 and EL16 devices. Direct replacements include MC10LVEP16DTR2G and MC100LVEP16DTR2G for tape and reel options. Verify that the 100 series temperature compensation meets design requirements if replacing non-compensated parts.

Specialty Logic FAQ

["What is the purpose of the VBB pin?","The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage used as a switching reference for unused differential inputs in single-ended conditions or to rebias AC coupled inputs."]

["How does the device handle open inputs?","Pins D* will default LOW when left open due to internal pulldown resistors, while other pins may default to VCC/2 depending on the configuration."]
