SN65EPT22DR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SN65EPT22DR is a mixed-signal level translator manufactured by Texas Instruments, designed for unidirectional signal conversion. It features one circuit with two channels, converting LVCMOS or LVTTL input signals to differential LVPECL output signals. The device is housed in an 8-SOIC package (0.154 inch width) and supports surface mount installation. It operates within a temperature range of -40°C to +85°C and complies with RoHS3 standards. The component belongs to the 65EPT series and utilizes a standard tape-and-reel packaging format.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Performs unidirectional translation from single-ended logic inputs to differential PECL outputs
• Supports both LVCMOS and LVTTL input voltage levels for flexible interface compatibility
• Provides differential LVPECL outputs suitable for high-speed signaling applications

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Converting low-voltage TTL/CMOS logic to LVPECL for clock distribution networks
• Interfacing microcontrollers or FPGAs with high-speed PECL-based peripherals
• Level shifting in mixed-signal systems requiring differential output stages

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix DR indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm that the target application requires unidirectional conversion, as this device does not support bidirectional data flow. Ensure supply chain sources provide RoHS3 compliant units to meet environmental regulations. Cross-reference pinouts with official datasheets to prevent integration errors during PCB layout.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when a single-ended logic source must drive a differential LVPECL load without requiring bidirectional capability. Consider the 8-SOIC package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space. Evaluate if the operating temperature range meets the environmental requirements of the final assembly. Verify that the input voltage levels align with the system's logic family specifications.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the SN65EPT series of mixed-signal translators from Texas Instruments. It serves as a functional alternative to other level shifters like the SN65LVELT22 series, specifically tailored for LVPECL outputs. The device addresses the need for interfacing modern low-voltage digital logic with legacy or high-speed differential communication standards.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

The SN65LVELT22DR is a documented similar replacement offering comparable functionality. Other potential substitutes include parts from onsemi such as the MC100EPT22DG, though pinout and electrical characteristics must be verified against the original design requirements.
