MC10EP16DR2

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP16DR2 is a single-channel differential receiver and driver belonging to the onsemi 10EP logic 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 220 ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. It utilizes an SOIC-8 surface-mount package and functions across an industrial temperature range from -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Provides high-speed signal transmission with output conversion times significantly faster than comparable EL16 devices, suitable for interfacing with high-frequency sources.
• Includes an internal reference voltage (VBB) pin that serves as a switch reference for unused differential inputs under single-ended conditions or biases AC-coupled inputs.
• Features input safety clamping and open-input default states where the Q output defaults to a low level when inputs are open or pulled to VEE.

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed data processing systems requiring fast signal integrity
• Interfacing circuits with high-frequency signal sources
• Differential line receiver and driver implementations in ECL/PECL architectures

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DR2 against official datasheets to confirm package type and tape/reel specifications. Confirm RoHS compliance status and environmental certifications prior to integration. Ensure design compatibility with the required 3.0 V to 5.5 V supply range and operating temperature limits defined by the manufacturer.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for applications demanding superior speed over standard ECL logic families. It is appropriate where differential signaling is required alongside integrated reference voltage generation. Consider the SOIC-8 footprint constraints and thermal management requirements associated with high-frequency operation at maximum supply voltages.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the 10EP family of high-performance ECL differential receivers and drivers. It offers enhanced switching speeds compared to legacy EL16 and LVEL16 devices while maintaining functional compatibility. The 100-series variants add temperature compensation, whereas the standard EP series focuses on raw speed and wide voltage tolerance.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10EP16DTR2G: Alternative packaging variant in TSSOP-8 format. MC10EP16TD: Older SOIC-8 version; verify obsolescence status and RoHS compliance differences before substitution.
