MC100LVEP16MNR4

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100LVEP16MNR4G is a differential receiver/driver from the 100LVEP series, packaged in an 8-lead DFN (2x2 mm) with an exposed thermal pad. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.8 V for PECL mode or -2.375 V to -3.8 V for NECL mode. The device features a typical propagation delay of 240 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. It includes temperature compensation, LVDS input compatibility, and an internally generated VBB reference voltage output.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster output transition times compared to EL16 and LVEL16 devices, making it suitable for high-frequency interfaces.
• Includes internal temperature compensation to maintain performance stability across operating temperatures.
• Provides an internally generated VBB pin that serves as a switching reference voltage for single-ended inputs or AC-coupled input biasing.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage (2.5 V) signal sources
• Clock distribution networks requiring fast transition times
• Systems utilizing LVDS input compatible logic

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MNR4G' against current onsemi documentation to confirm package type and RoHS compliance status. Confirm availability as this part number may be discontinued; check for direct replacements like MC100LVEP16MNR4G if sourcing new production units.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with 2.5 V sources requiring superior transition speeds over standard ECL drivers. Ensure the design accommodates the DFN8 package's thermal requirements via the exposed pad. Verify that the application does not require single-ended CLK operation below 3.0 V in PECL mode.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100LVEP16 family, which are functionally equivalent to EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices but offer improved speed. The 100 Series variant specifically incorporates temperature compensation. It is designed for applications demanding high-speed data transmission and processing.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC100LVEP16MNR4G is a direct replacement for the discontinued MC100LVEP16MNR4.

Specialty Logic FAQ

Can the VBB pin be used at VCC voltages below 3.0 V?

No, the datasheet specifies that VBB should not be used when VCC is less than 3.0 V.

What is the default state of the D* and D** pins if left open?

The D* pins will default to LOW, while the D** pins will default to VCC/2 when left open.
