MC10EP17DT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP17DT is a four-channel differential line receiver within the 10EP series, designed for high-speed ECL applications. It operates with a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V and supports frequencies exceeding 3.0 GHz. The device features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and includes an internal VBB pin for biasing unused inputs or AC-coupled signals. It is housed in a 20-TSSOP package and complies with RoHS standards.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Four-channel differential architecture optimized for buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators
• Internal VBB voltage source simplifies biasing for single-ended inputs and AC-coupled signals
• Input safety clamps protect against electrostatic discharge and overvoltage conditions
• Temperature-compensated design ensures stable performance across varying thermal environments

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators
• High-bandwidth amplifier applications
• ECL differential signal routing

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix (e.g., DTG) as the base model may be obsolete. Confirm current availability status directly with onsemi or authorized distributors, as production discontinuance notifications may apply. Ensure the selected variant matches the required packaging format and environmental compliance standards for your design.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when designing systems requiring low-latency differential reception at frequencies above 3 GHz. Consider the 20-TSSOP footprint constraints and verify power supply requirements for PECL or NECL modes. Evaluate the need for the internal VBB feature to simplify input termination schemes compared to external resistor networks.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This part belongs to the 10EP family of emitter-coupled logic devices, characterized by high-speed operation and robust input protection.
