MC10EPT20MNR4G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10EPT20MNR4G is a single-gate translator converting LVTTL or LVCMOS inputs to differential LVPECL outputs. It operates on a +3.3 V supply with ground, requiring no negative voltage. 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 defaults the Q output HIGH when the input is open. The component is housed in an 8-lead DFN package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts single-ended LVTTL/LVCMOS signals to differential LVPECL levels
• Operates exclusively on a positive 3.3 V power supply
• Features PNP-based inputs to minimize loading on driving circuits
• Defaults differential outputs to a HIGH state upon input disconnection

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed digital communication systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring low jitter
• Space-constrained designs prioritizing performance and low power consumption

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MN' corresponds to the DFN-8 package configuration before procurement. Confirm that the ordering code matches the required tape and reel quantity specifications. Ensure compatibility with the thermal requirements of the exposed pad design. Check current availability status as product lines may undergo discontinuation notices.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing 3.3 V logic families with PECL receivers. Consider the DFN-8 package for applications demanding compact footprints. Evaluate thermal management needs due to the exposed pad requirement. Verify that the operating temperature range meets the environmental constraints of the target system.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EPT series of high-speed translators manufactured by onsemi. It is distinct from the MC100EPT20, which includes temperature compensation features. The part is designed to replace older ECL translators while offering improved power efficiency and smaller physical dimensions suitable for modern surface-mount assembly processes.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include the MC100EPT20MNR4G for applications requiring temperature compensation. Other family members like the MC10EPT20DG offer identical functionality in a SOIC-8NB package.
