NB100LVEP91MN

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NB100LVEP91MN is a three-channel level translator manufactured by onsemi, designed to convert positive input signals from various logic families including LVPECL, LVTTL, LVCMOS, HSTL, CML, and LVDS into differential LVNECL outputs. The device operates with a VCC supply range of 2.375V to 3.8V and supports negative supply voltages for NECL generation. It features a typical propagation delay of 675 ps and functions within an operating temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in a QFN-24 format, it utilizes three power rails (VCC, VEE, GND) for operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts multiple single-ended or differential input standards to differential LVNECL outputs
• Supports wide input voltage levels including 2.5V and 3.3V systems
• Includes internal bias generation for AC coupling reference

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• High-speed data communication interfaces requiring signal translation
• Clock distribution networks converting standard logic to ECL family
• Telecommunications equipment utilizing mixed voltage logic domains

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MN' against official onsemi documentation to confirm package type and tape-and-reel specifications. Ensure compatibility with required negative supply voltages (-2.5V/-3.3V/-5V) for the NECL output stage. Confirm RoHS compliance status through the manufacturer's current environmental declaration before integration.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between modern low-voltage CMOS/PECL sources and legacy or high-speed NECL destinations. The three-channel architecture allows simultaneous conversion of parallel data buses or clock lines. Consider the QFN-24 thermal performance and PCB layout requirements for high-frequency signal integrity during design.
