MC10EP445FAG

Specialized Overview

The MC10EP445FAG is an integrated 8-bit differential serial to parallel data converter manufactured by onsemi. It operates within a power supply range of 3.0 V to 5.5 V and supports ECL logic families including PECL and NECL configurations. The device features two operational modes selected by the CKSEL pin: CKSEL HIGH mode supports NRZ data rates up to 3.3 Gb/s, while CKSEL LOW mode enables operation at twice the internal clock rate, reaching up to 5.0 Gb/s. Maximum input clock frequencies are specified as 2.0 GHz for CKSEL LOW and 3.3 GHz for CKSEL HIGH. Propagation delays from CLK to Q output range from 1280 ps to 1795 ps depending on operating conditions. The component utilizes a 32-lead LQFP package (CASE 873A) and functions across a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Specialized Procurement Notes

Verify that the ordering suffix FAG corresponds specifically to the LQFP-32 package variant. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging details directly with the manufacturer or authorized distributors. Ensure procurement channels provide valid traceability documentation matching the specific part marking code AWLYYWWG.

Specialized Selection Notes

Select this component when differential ECL signaling is required for 8-bit parallel output generation. Evaluate thermal management requirements, particularly if operating near maximum voltage limits, as airflow specifications may be necessary. Consider the CKSEL mode selection based on whether the system requires standard or doubled internal clock processing speeds.

Specialized Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100EP445 series of high-frequency logic converters. The 100 Series designation indicates the inclusion of temperature compensation circuitry compared to the standard 10 Series. It serves as a specialized interface solution for converting high-speed serial streams into parallel formats within ECL-based architectures.

Specialized Replacement Considerations

Public confirmed substitute part numbers include MC100EP445FAG. Verify functional equivalence regarding pinout compatibility and electrical characteristics before implementation.

Specialized FAQ

How does the CKSEL pin affect the data latching process?

In CKSEL HIGH mode, data is latched only on the rising edge of the clock. In CKSEL LOW mode, data is latched on both the rising and falling edges of the clock.

What is the function of the SYNC pin?

The SYNC pin allows asynchronous adjustment of the conversion start bit. Asserting it causes the internal clock to swallow a pulse, shifting the data stream alignment between outputs.

Can the device support single-ended inputs?

Yes, the device provides VBB output pins that can serve as a switching reference voltage for unused differential inputs when configured for single-ended operation.
