MC10LVEP16DT

Specialty Logic Overview

The MC10LVEP16DT is a differential receiver/driver from the MC10/100LVEP16 series, functionally equivalent to EL16 and LVEL16 devices. It features significantly faster output transition times than its predecessors, making it suitable for interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage (2.5 V) sources. The device supports PECL mode with VCC ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V (VEE = 0 V) and NECL mode with VEE ranging from -2.375 V to -3.8 V (VCC = 0 V). Single-ended CLK input operation is limited to VCC ≥ 3.0 V in PECL mode or VEE ≤ -3.0 V in NECL mode.

Specialty Logic Feature Summary

• Features a typical propagation delay of 240 ps and a maximum frequency exceeding 4 GHz.
• Includes an internally generated VBB pin that serves as a switching reference voltage for unused differential inputs under single-ended conditions.
• Provides open input default states where D pins default to LOW and D* pins default to VCC/2 when left unconnected.
• Capable of LVDS input compatibility and includes internal input pulldown and pullup resistors.

Specialty Logic Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• Low voltage (2.5 V) source connections
• High-speed data transmission systems

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DT indicates the TSSOP-8 package configuration. Confirm RoHS compliance status and lead-free packaging details through official onsemi documentation. Ensure the ordering part number matches the required shipping format, such as tape and reel quantities, before finalizing procurement.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast output transitions and compatibility with both PECL and NECL logic families. Consider the VBB pin utility for biasing AC-coupled inputs or providing reference voltages. Evaluate thermal performance requirements against the junction-to-ambient resistance values provided in the datasheet for the TSSOP-8 package.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the MC10EP/100EP family of ECL differential receivers and drivers. The 100 Series variants include temperature compensation, whereas the 10 Series does not. The MC10LVEP16 specifically targets lower voltage operations compared to standard 5V ECL devices, bridging the gap between traditional ECL and modern low-voltage standards.
