MC10EP16DTG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP16DTG is a single-channel differential receiver/driver from the onsemi MC10EP series, designed for high-speed data transmission. It operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 3.0V to 5.5V (VEE = 0V) or NECL mode with VEE from -3.0V to -5.5V (VCC = 0V). The device features a typical propagation delay of 220ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4GHz. It is housed in an 8-pin TSSOP package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Supports both PECL and NECL logic families for flexible power supply configurations
• Includes an internal reference voltage output (VBB) for biasing AC-coupled inputs or unused differential inputs
• Features input safety clamping that forces the Q output low when inputs are open or pulled to VEE

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed serial data communication interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring fast signal transitions
• Point-to-point differential signaling links

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DTG confirms the TSSOP-8 surface-mount package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status as some historical variants may differ. Ensure the design accounts for the VBB pin decoupling requirements if utilized. Check current availability as older tape-and-reel or tube variations may have different lifecycle statuses.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring faster transition times than standard ECL devices. It serves as a functional equivalent to EL16 and LVEL16 but offers superior performance metrics. Consider the 8-pin TSSOP footprint for space-constrained PCB layouts compared to larger SOIC packages.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10EP family of 3.3V/5V ECL differential receivers and drivers. It is distinct from the MC100EP16, which adds temperature compensation capabilities. The device is engineered to replace legacy ECL components while providing enhanced speed and simplified biasing through its integrated VBB reference node.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

MC10EP16DG: Identical function in SOIC-8 package. MC100EP16DTG: Includes temperature compensation. MC10EP16DTR2G: Tape-and-reel packaging variant.
