MC10EP17MNG

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10EP17MNG is a high-speed, four-channel differential line receiver belonging to the onsemi EP17 device family. It operates within the ECL logic series and supports PECL modes with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and NECL modes with VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. The component features a typical propagation delay of 220 ps and a maximum frequency exceeding 3.0 GHz. It utilizes a QFN-20 surface-mount package and functions as a buffer for ultra-high-speed oscillators or as a high-bandwidth amplifier due to its internal two-stage gain design.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Provides high-frequency output suitable for buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators and high-bandwidth amplifier applications.
• Includes an internally generated voltage source pin (VBB) that serves as a switch reference voltage for unused differential inputs under single-ended conditions or for AC-coupled input re-biasing.
• Features input safety clamps to protect against electrostatic discharge and overvoltage, ensuring stable operation when inputs are open or at VEE.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Buffering ultra-high-speed oscillators
• High-bandwidth amplifier circuits
• Differential signal reception in high-speed digital systems
