NB4L16MMN

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NB4L16MMNG is a differential driver, receiver, buffer, and translator manufactured by onsemi. It accepts LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HSTL, LVCMOS, and LVTTL inputs to produce a 400 mV CML output. The device supports maximum input clock frequencies up to 3.5 GHz and data rates up to 5.0 Gb/s. It features internal 50 Ω termination resistors for both input and output, eliminating the need for external components. Operating within a VCC range of 2.375 V to 3.6 V with VEE at 0 V, it provides low jitter performance with typical propagation delay of 220 ps.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Generates 400 mV peak-to-peak CML output with integrated 50 Ω internal termination resistors
• Provides an internally generated VBB reference voltage supply for biasing capacitor-coupled signals or single-ended configurations

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• SONET interfaces
• Gigabit Ethernet (GigE) connections
• Fiber Channel links
• Backplane applications

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix against the manufacturer's documentation to confirm packaging type. The MMNG suffix indicates a QFN-16 package supplied in tubes containing 123 units. Confirm RoHS compliance and lead-free status requirements match the project specifications before finalizing procurement orders.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between disparate logic families requiring translation to CML standards. Ensure the application operates within the specified temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Verify that the power supply configuration allows VEE to remain at 0 V while VCC varies between 2.375 V and 3.6 V for optimal performance.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NB4L16M series of multi-level clock and data translators. It is designed for high-speed signal integrity in digital communication systems. The device integrates transmission line termination capabilities directly onto the chip, simplifying PCB layout and reducing bill of materials compared to discrete solutions.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for functional equivalents within the NB4L16M family such as NB4L16MMNR2G for tape and reel packaging. Verify pin compatibility and electrical characteristics before substituting with other manufacturers' level shifters.
