MC10EPT20D

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10EPT20D is a single-channel, unidirectional voltage level translator designed to convert 3.3 V LVTTL or LVCMOS input signals into differential LVPECL output signals. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0 V to 3.6 V with ground at 0 V. The device features a typical propagation delay of 390 ps and supports maximum input clock frequencies exceeding 1 GHz. It utilizes PNP TTL inputs for minimal loading and ensures the Q output defaults HIGH when the input is open. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended 3.3V logic levels to differential PECL outputs
• Provides high-speed performance suitable for demanding digital applications
• Includes internal circuitry to default output state upon input disconnection

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed communication systems requiring signal translation
• Clock distribution networks operating at high frequencies
• Digital circuits needing interface between TTL/CMOS and PECL domains

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' corresponds to the SOIC-8 package variant rather than TSSOP or other configurations. Confirm RoHS compliance status as historical data may vary by manufacturing lot. Ensure the ordering part number matches the exact package style required for the PCB footprint. Check for any recent lifecycle changes or obsolescence notices from the manufacturer before finalizing procurement plans.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single channel is sufficient for translating low-voltage TTL or CMOS signals to differential PECL. It is appropriate for designs prioritizing low power consumption and small form factor due to the SOIC-8 packaging. Consider the 100 series variants if temperature compensation is explicitly required for the application environment.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EPT family of high-performance level translators manufactured by onsemi. The EPT series is engineered for applications where space, performance, and low power are critical constraints. The MC10EPT20 specifically addresses the need for converting standard logic levels to PECL without requiring negative supply voltages, simplifying power design.
