MC100LVEP16MNR4G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC100LVEP16MNR4G is a differential receiver/driver from the 100LV ECL logic series, manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.8 V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device features a propagation delay of 240 ps and a maximum frequency exceeding 4 GHz. It utilizes a DFN-8 package with surface mount installation.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Provides significantly faster output transition times compared to EL16 and LVEL16 devices, making it suitable for high-frequency applications.
• Includes an internally generated reference voltage (VBB) pin that can serve as a switching reference for single-ended inputs or bias AC-coupled signals.
• Features open input default states where specific pins default to low or VCC/2 when left unconnected.
• Compatible with LVDS inputs and includes temperature compensation within the 100 Series.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency sources
• Low voltage (2.5 V) source connections
• PECL mode signal transmission
• NECL mode signal transmission

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the component against official datasheet specifications before integration. Confirm the DFN-8 package type and Pb-Free status align with design requirements. Ensure compatibility with PECL and NECL operating modes. Check for RoHS compliance documentation. Validate thermal management needs for the exposed pad in the DFN-8 package.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring fast differential signaling with low propagation delay. Consider the internal VBB feature if single-ended conversion or AC coupling biasing is needed. Verify power supply constraints match the 2.375 V to 3.8 V range. Evaluate thermal dissipation capabilities given the small DFN-8 footprint.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC100LVEP16 family, which are world-class differential receivers/drivers. The 100 Series specifically incorporates temperature compensation. It serves as a functional equivalent to EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices but offers improved speed characteristics for modern high-speed digital interfaces.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should the VBB pin be handled if not used?

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

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

The D* pin defaults to LOW, while the D** pin defaults to VCC/2 when left unconnected.
