MC10EP116FAG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP116FAG is a hex differential line receiver manufactured by onsemi, belonging to the 10EP series. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V in PECL mode or -3.0 V to -5.5 V in NECL mode. The device features a typical propagation delay of 260 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 3 GHz. It is housed in a 32-LQFP package with dimensions of 7x7 mm. The component functions as a high-speed buffer for very high-speed oscillators and includes safety clamps on inputs.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Hex differential line receiver architecture providing six independent channels
• High-frequency performance suitable for buffering very high-speed oscillators
• Open input default state with Q output defaulting to low when inputs are open or at VEE
• Integrated VBB output pin for reference voltage generation

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering very high-speed oscillators
• High-speed data transmission systems requiring differential signaling
• Clock distribution networks in telecommunications infrastructure

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'G' indicates RoHS compliance and lead-free packaging status against current manufacturer declarations. Confirm the 32-LQFP package marking and date code alignment with production lot records. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact functional revision required for the design. Cross-reference the datasheet revision history for any recent parameter updates or pinout changes before finalizing procurement specifications.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when a hex configuration of differential receivers is required for high-speed signal integrity. The 10EP series offers superior AC performance compared to legacy equivalents like the EL16. Consider the 32-LQFP package for surface-mount assembly requirements. Verify that the operating temperature range of -40°C to 85°C meets the environmental constraints of the target application.

Specialty Logic Part Context

The MC10EP116FAG is part of the onsemi 10EP family of ECL-compatible logic devices. This series is designed for applications demanding high speed and low jitter. The device serves as a direct replacement for older technologies such as the EL16, offering improved switching speeds while maintaining pin compatibility. It is distinct from counter or shift register variants within the same product family.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10EP116FA is a parameter-equivalent alternative within the same series.
