NBSG16MNG

Specialty Logic Overview

The NBSG16MNG is a differential receiver/driver utilizing SiGe technology, designed for high-frequency applications. It features RSECL outputs with a 400 mV peak-to-peak swing and incorporates internal 50 Ω input termination resistors. The device supports multiple input standards including NECL, PECL, HSTL, LVTTL, LVCMOS, CML, and LVDS. It operates within a supply voltage range of 2.375 V to 3.465 V (VCC) or -2.375 V to -3.465 V (VEE). Key electrical characteristics include a maximum typical input clock frequency exceeding 12 GHz, a typical propagation delay of 120 ps, and rise/fall times of 40 ps.

Specialty Logic Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'MN' corresponds to the QFN-16 package configuration before ordering. Confirm that the required operating temperature range aligns with the specified -40°C to +85°C limits. Ensure power supply decoupling capacitors are placed close to the VBB and VMM pins if utilized. Check for any applicable export control classifications such as ECCN 3A001A11B.

Specialty Logic Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing between different logic families requiring level translation without external resistors. The internal termination reduces board space and improves signal integrity at frequencies above 10 GHz. Consider the thermal resistance requirements of the QFN-16 package for adequate heat dissipation in dense layouts.

Specialty Logic Part Context

This device belongs to the NBSG16 family of SiGe differential receivers/drivers. It serves as a functional equivalent to older EP16 and LVEP16 devices but offers higher bandwidth and lower electromagnetic interference capabilities. The family includes variants like NBSG16BA and NBSG16MNR2G, differing primarily in packaging and shipping quantities.

Specialty Logic FAQ

How should unused complementary differential inputs be handled?

Unused complementary differential inputs must be connected to either the VBB or VMM pin to serve as a switching reference voltage for single-ended input conditions.

What is the function of the VTD pins?

The VTD pins connect to internal 50 Ω termination resistors. For CML interfaces, they should be connected to VCC; for LVDS, they should be connected together.
