NB100LVEP91DWR2G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NB100LVEP91DWR2G is a single-channel, three-input level translator manufactured by onsemi. It converts signals from CML, HSTL, LVCMOS, LVDS, LVPECL, or LVTTL sources into differential LVNECL outputs. The device operates with a positive supply voltage (VCC) ranging from 2.375 V to 3.8 V and a negative supply voltage (VEE) ranging from -2.375 V to -3.8 V. It features a typical propagation delay of 675 ps and supports data rates up to 2 Gbps. The component is housed in a 20-SOIC surface-mount package and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DWR2G to confirm the tape-and-reel packaging format, as this variant differs from tube-packaged equivalents like DWG. Confirm RoHS compliance status through official manufacturer documentation prior to procurement. Ensure the design accommodates the required dual power rails and decoupling capacitors specified in the datasheet for stable operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing standard logic families such as LVCMOS or LVDS with NECL loads. The SOIC-20 package suits applications where board space allows for wider pitch compared to QFN options. Verify that the system power supplies can provide the necessary current while maintaining voltage stability within the 2.375 V to 3.8 V range for both VCC and VEE rails.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NB100LVEP91 series of level translators designed for high-performance digital interfaces.
