MC10EL16DT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EL16DT is a 5.0 V ECL differential receiver manufactured by onsemi, housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package. It operates within a power supply range of 4.2 V to 5.7 V for PECL mode and -4.2 V to -5.7 V for NECL mode. The device features a typical propagation delay of 190 ps and supports a maximum toggle frequency of 1.75 GHz. Power supply current is typically 22 mA across the operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features an internally generated VBB pin that serves as a switching reference voltage for single-ended inputs or provides bias for AC coupled signals.
• Includes internal input pulldown resistors to simplify circuit design and reduce external component requirements.
• Provides high-speed performance with significantly faster output transition times compared to legacy E116 devices.
• Ensures reliable operation through internal input clamps that force the Q output LOW under open input conditions.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources requiring fast output transitions.
• High-speed data transmission systems utilizing differential signaling.
• Signal processing circuits where precise timing and low jitter are critical.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DT indicates the TSSOP-8 package configuration when sourcing replacements. Confirm RoHS compliance status as manufacturing processes may evolve. Check for obsolescence notices from onsemi regarding new design recommendations. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints and thermal management requirements for the surface-mount package.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring a dedicated differential receiver with integrated reference voltage generation. Consider the 100 series variant if temperature compensation is required for wider environmental stability. Evaluate the trade-off between the 190 ps propagation delay and system timing budgets. Verify that the 8-pin TSSOP footprint aligns with the target board layout constraints.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EL/100EL logic family, designed for high-performance ECL applications. It is functionally equivalent to the E116 device but offers enhanced speed capabilities. The product line includes variants with different packaging options and temperature compensation features to suit diverse industrial and communication standards.

Specialty Logic FAQ

What is the function of the VBB pin?

The VBB pin provides an internally generated reference voltage. It can be used as a switching reference for unused differential inputs in single-ended configurations or to rebias AC coupled inputs.

How does the device behave when inputs are left open?

Under open input conditions, internal input clamps force the Q output to a LOW state, ensuring a defined output level rather than a floating state.
