MC10ELT22DT

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10ELT22DT is a unidirectional logic level translator from onsemi, designed to convert LVCMOS/LVTTL signals to ECL logic levels. It features two independent channels within an 8-pin TSSOP package. The device operates with a supply voltage range of 3V to 3.6V and supports a maximum propagation delay of 2ns at specified load conditions. It provides LVCMOS/LVTTL outputs and is rated for operation between -40°C and +85°C. Key electrical characteristics include a maximum low-level output current of 24mA and a maximum high-level output current of -3mA.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended LVCMOS or LVTTL inputs to differential ECL outputs
• Provides dual-channel configuration in a compact surface-mount package
• Supports standard low-voltage CMOS/TTL input interfaces

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interface circuits connecting microprocessors to high-speed ECL peripherals
• Clock distribution systems requiring TTL-to-ECL translation
• Data acquisition systems interfacing digital logic with ECL-based components

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'DT' corresponds to the TSSOP-8 package variant when sourcing. Confirm that the application requires unidirectional conversion from LVCMOS/LVTTL to ECL, as this device does not support bidirectional shifting. Ensure power supply rails match the 3V to 3.6V operating range specified for the EL series. Check for availability of RoHS-compliant versions if environmental compliance is mandatory for the project.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard 3.3V or 5V logic families with ECL loads without requiring complex biasing networks. The dual-channel architecture allows for parallel data path translation. Consider thermal management requirements given the operating temperature range. Verify that the 2ns propagation delay meets the timing constraints of the target system. Alternative parts may be needed if bidirectional capability or different package styles are required.
