NB4L16MMNR2G

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The NB4L16MMNR2G is a differential driver, receiver, buffer, and translator housed in a 3x3 mm 16-pin QFN package. It accepts LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HSTL, LVCMOS, or 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 inputs and outputs, eliminating the need for external components. Operating voltage ranges from 2.375 V to 3.6 V with VEE at 0 V.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Accepts multiple input signal standards including LVPECL, LVDS, CML, HSTL, LVCMOS, and LVTTL
• Generates 400 mV peak-to-peak CML differential output signals
• Integrates internal 50 Ω termination resistors on both input and output ports
• Provides an internally generated VBB reference voltage supply

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

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

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix NR2G indicates tape and reel packaging containing 3000 units per reel. Confirm the MN suffix corresponds to the QFN-16 package type. Ensure the component meets RoHS compliance and lead-free requirements as specified in the ordering information section of the datasheet.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between different logic families such as translating LVDS or PECL signals to CML. Consider the low jitter specifications for high-speed clock distribution. Evaluate the thermal resistance characteristics if operating near the upper temperature limits within the -40°C to +85°C range.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the NB4L16M family of multi-level clock and data translators. It is functionally compatible with existing 2.5 V and 3.3 V LVEL, LVEP, EP, and SG devices from the manufacturer. The family includes variants like the NB4L16MMNG which uses tube packaging instead of tape and reel.
