MC10EP16TDTR2G

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP16TDTR2G is a high-speed differential receiver/driver from the onsemi 10EP series, designed for ECL/PECL applications. It operates on a single supply voltage ranging from 3V to 5.5V and supports an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC surface-mount package with a width of 3.90mm. It features a typical propagation delay of 220ps and supports frequencies exceeding 4GHz. The component includes internal input clamping and a VBB reference voltage pin for biasing or switching references.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• High-speed differential signal transmission with low propagation delay suitable for data rates above 4GHz
• Integrated VBB pin providing an internal reference voltage for AC coupling biasing or single-ended input switching
• Input safety clamping that forces the Q output to a low state when inputs are open or pulled to VEE

Specialty Logic Applications

• High-speed serial data link interfaces
• Clock distribution networks requiring differential signaling
• Point-to-point communication links using PECL or NECL logic families

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the exact suffix against official manufacturer documentation, as standard distributors may list variants like MC10EP16DR2G or MC10EP16DTR2G. Confirm package type (SOIC vs TSSOP) and RoHS compliance status, as some listings indicate non-compliance or end-of-life status for specific suffixes. Ensure the selected part matches the required moisture sensitivity level and packaging format for your assembly process.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring robust differential reception with minimal propagation delay. The wide supply voltage range allows compatibility with both 3.3V and 5V systems. Consider the SOIC package dimensions for PCB layout constraints. Verify thermal requirements if multiple units are placed closely, although the datasheet does not specify a thermal pad for this specific package variant.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EP family of emitter-coupled logic components. It serves as a direct replacement for older ECL drivers like the EL16, offering improved performance characteristics. The 10EP series is engineered for demanding high-frequency applications where signal integrity and speed are critical parameters for system performance.
