MC10EP90DTR2G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10EP90DTR2G is a triple ECL to LVPECL/PECL translator manufactured by onsemi. It converts differential LVECL or ECL inputs into differential LVPECL or PECL outputs. The device supports VCC supplies from 3.0 V to 5.5 V and VEE supplies from -3.0 V to -5.5 V. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 260 ps, a maximum frequency exceeding 3 GHz, and a typical duty cycle skew of 20 ps. It features a VBB output for single-ended input interfacing.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Provides three channels for translating differential LVECL or ECL signals to differential LVPECL or PECL outputs.
• Includes a VBB output pin designed to act as a switching reference when interfacing with single-ended LVECL or ECL signals.
• Features open input default state where Q outputs default to LOW when inputs are open or at VEE.
• Incorporates safety clamps on inputs to protect the device from overvoltage conditions.

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing between -5V ECL systems and 5V PECL systems.
• Converting -3.3V ECL signals to 3.3V PECL logic levels.
• High-speed signal translation in telecommunications infrastructure.
• Clock distribution networks requiring level shifting between different ECL families.

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized onsemi distributors. Confirm RoHS compliance status via official material declaration documents. Check current product lifecycle status as some variants may be discontinued. Ensure proper handling procedures for moisture sensitivity level 1 components. Validate package marking against datasheet specifications to avoid counterfeit parts.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this translator when converting between ECL and PECL voltage domains is required. Consider the TSSOP-20 package constraints for PCB layout. Evaluate power supply requirements for both positive and negative rails. Assess thermal management needs given the junction-to-ambient resistance values. Verify compatibility with existing clock frequencies and jitter tolerances.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This component belongs to the 10EP series of high-speed logic translators. It is part of onsemi's portfolio of ECL-compatible devices designed for demanding digital applications. The device utilizes a TSSOP-20 surface-mount package. It is engineered for operation across industrial temperature ranges.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

MC100EP90DTG serves as a direct functional equivalent within the same family. Both devices share identical pinouts and electrical characteristics. Verify specific ordering suffixes for packaging differences such as tape and reel versus tube quantities. Consult onsemi for updated availability status on discontinued variants like MC10EP90DTG.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

How should the VBB pin be used for single-ended inputs?

Connect the VBB output to the D input. Bypass the VBB pin to ground with a 0.01 μF capacitor. This pin can source or sink up to 0.5 mA of current.

What is the default state of the outputs if inputs are left open?

The Q outputs will default to LOW when the inputs are open or connected to VEE.

Does the device support temperature compensation?

Yes, the 100 Series (including MC100EP90) contains temperature compensation features.
