MC10EP16D

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP16D is a single-channel differential line receiver and driver from the onsemi 10EP series, designed for high-speed ECL applications. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3V to 5.5V in PECL mode or -3.0V to -5.5V in NECL mode. The device features a typical propagation delay of 220ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4GHz. It includes an internal reference voltage (VBB) output for biasing and input termination. The component is housed in an 8-SOIC package and functions across an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Provides differential signal reception and transmission with fast output conversion times suitable for high-frequency interfaces.
• Includes an internally generated VBB reference voltage pin for AC coupling biasing or single-ended input switching.
• Features input safety clamping and open-input default states that force the Q output to a low level.

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed data processing systems requiring differential signaling
• Interfaces with high-frequency signal sources
• ECL-based logic circuits and bus transceivers

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix against official documentation, as package variations exist between SOIC and TSSOP for this base model number. Confirm RoHS compliance status, as older revisions may differ from current manufacturing standards. Check moisture sensitivity levels and storage conditions prior to assembly to ensure component integrity during surface mount processes.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-speed sources requiring faster performance than legacy EL16 or LVEL16 devices. Consider the MC100EP16 variant if temperature compensation is required for the application environment. Ensure the design accommodates the specific power supply requirements for either PECL or NECL operation modes.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EP family of high-performance ECL differential receivers and drivers. It serves as a modern replacement for older discrete ECL components, offering integrated functionality in a compact surface-mount package. The series is engineered for applications demanding precise timing and high bandwidth signal integrity.
