MC10EL16D

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EL16D is a 5.0 V ECL differential receiver manufactured by onsemi, functionally equivalent to the E116 device but with significantly faster output transition times. It features a 190 ps propagation delay and supports PECL mode (VCC = 4.2 V to 5.7 V, VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode (VCC = 0 V, VEE = −4.2 V to −5.7 V). The device includes internal input pulldown resistors and an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin for single-ended input biasing or AC coupling rebiasing. It operates within a temperature range of −40°C to +85°C and is available in SOIC-8 NB packaging.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster output transition times compared to the E116 device, making it suitable for high-frequency source interfacing.
• Includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin that can serve as a switching reference for unused differential inputs or for rebiasing AC coupled inputs.
• Equipped with internal input clamps that force the Q output LOW under open input conditions pulled to VEE.
• Contains internal input pulldown resistors to simplify circuit design.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high frequency sources
• High speed data transmission systems
• Signal processing circuits requiring fast differential reception

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. The 'D' suffix indicates SOIC-8 NB packaging. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead times directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors, as availability may vary. Ensure the procurement documentation matches the exact part number MC10EL16D to avoid functional mismatches with similar logic families.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring faster performance than the standard E116 device. Choose the MC10EL16D for applications needing a dedicated VBB reference pin for single-ended conversion or AC coupling biasing. Consider the 10EL series for standard operation or the 100EL series if temperature compensation is required. Ensure power supply configurations align with either PECL or NECL operating ranges.

Specialty Logic Part Context

The MC10EL16D belongs to the MC10EL/100EL16 family of 5.0 V ECL differential receivers. It is designed to replace or upgrade legacy E116 devices in existing designs where higher speed and better performance are needed. The device is part of onsemi's broader ECLinPS and standard ECL logic portfolio, offering robust performance in high-speed digital communication and computing environments.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

The MC10EL16D is functionally equivalent to the E116 device but offers improved performance characteristics. Designers upgrading from E116 should verify signal integrity and termination requirements due to the faster transition times. No direct cross-referenced substitute part numbers are provided in the official documentation; consult onsemi for alternative recommendations if the MC10EL16D is unavailable.

Specialty Logic FAQ

What is the purpose of the VBB pin on the MC10EL16D?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated voltage supply. It can be used as a switching reference voltage for unused differential inputs in single-ended configurations or to rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, it must be decoupled via a 0.01 µF capacitor.

How does the MC10EL16D handle open input conditions?

Under open input conditions where inputs are pulled to VEE, internal input clamps will force the Q output to a LOW state, ensuring a defined output level even without active input signals.

What are the operating voltage ranges for PECL and NECL modes?

In PECL mode, the device operates with VCC ranging from 4.2 V to 5.7 V and VEE at 0 V. In NECL mode, VCC is 0 V and VEE ranges from −4.2 V to −5.7 V.
