MC10EP90DTG

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10EP90DTG is a triple ECL to LVPECL/PECL translator manufactured by onsemi. It accepts differential LVECL or ECL inputs and translates them to differential LVPECL or PECL outputs. The device features a typical propagation delay of 260 ps and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 3 GHz. It operates with VCC ranging from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE from -3.0 V to -5.5 V, while GND is fixed at 0 V. The component is housed in a TSSOP-20 package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates differential LVECL or ECL signals to differential LVPECL or PECL outputs
• Includes a VBB output for interfacing with single-ended LVECL or ECL signals
• Features fully differential design with open input default state and safety clamps on inputs
• Q output defaults LOW when inputs are open or at VEE

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Level translation between ECL and LVPECL/PECL domains
• High-speed signal processing systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring differential signaling

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the current status of the MC10EP90DTG as it is listed as discontinued in official documentation. Confirm availability through authorized distributors or contact onsemi representatives for alternative sourcing options. Ensure that any replacement components meet the required electrical specifications and pin compatibility for your specific application design.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring translation from ECL/LVECL to LVPECL/PECL logic families. Consider the TSSOP-20 package constraints and the need for three distinct power rails (VCC, VEE, GND). Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the upper temperature limits. Verify that the input voltage swings and common mode ranges align with the source signal requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The MC10EP90 belongs to the MC10/100EP series of high-speed ECL translators. While the 100 series includes temperature compensation, the standard 10EP version does not. This family is designed for robust performance in demanding digital environments, offering low skew and jitter characteristics suitable for precision timing applications.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The MC10EP90DTG is officially marked as discontinued. Consult onsemi for recommended replacements or updated product lines that provide equivalent triple-channel ECL to LVPECL/PECL translation capabilities.
