MC10LVEP16D

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10LVEP16D is a differential receiver/driver from the LVEP series, functionally equivalent to EL16 and EP16 devices. It features a 240 ps typical propagation delay and supports maximum frequencies exceeding 4 GHz. The device operates in PECL mode with VCC ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V (VEE = 0 V) or NECL mode with VEE from −2.375 V to −3.8 V (VCC = 0 V). It includes an internally generated VBB output for single-ended input reference and LVDS input compatibility.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features significantly faster output transition times compared to EL16 and LVEL16 devices.
• Includes an internal VBB pin providing a switching reference voltage for unused differential inputs.
• Supports open input default states where pins default LOW or to VCC/2 when left unconnected.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high frequency sources
• Low voltage (2.5 V) source connections
• PECL logic circuits
• NECL logic circuits

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'D' corresponds to the SOIC-8 NB package as defined in the ordering information table. Confirm RoHS compliance status, noting that Pb-Free packages are available but older variants may differ. Check current availability against discontinued lists for similar part numbers like MC100LVEP16DG.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast differential signal conversion between ECL families. Ensure supply voltages match the specified PECL or NECL ranges. Consider thermal management requirements based on the junction-to-ambient resistance values provided for the SOIC-8 NB package under standard airflow conditions.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10/100LVEP16 family of world-class differential receivers/drivers. It serves as a high-speed interface solution bridging various ECL logic standards. The 10 Series variant offers temperature compensation, distinguishing it from the 100 Series which lacks this specific feature.

Specialty Logic Replacement Considerations

Functionally equivalent parts include EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices. Verify package dimensions and pinout compatibility before substitution, particularly regarding the exposed thermal pad requirements for DFN packages if applicable.
