SY100EL90VZG

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100EL90VZG is a triple ECL/LVECL-to-PECL/LVPECL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It supports 3.3V and 5V power supply options with a propagation delay of 500ps. The device operates in a 20-pin SOIC package, accepting -5V ECL or -3.3V LVECL inputs and translating them to 5V PECL or 3.3V LVPECL outputs.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates between standard and low voltage ECL/LVECL input signals and PECL/LVPECL output signals
• Supports all combinations of negative supply voltages (-5V or -3.3V) and positive supply voltages (5V or 3.3V)
• Includes a VBB reference voltage output for interfacing with single-ended ECL signals at the input

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing -5V ECL systems with 5V PECL circuits
• Connecting -5V ECL sources to 3.3V LVPECL loads
• Linking -3.3V LVECL components to 5V PECL networks
• Bridging -3.3V LVECL signals to 3.3V LVPECL destinations

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part may be subject to obsolescence. Confirm that the specific ZG suffix indicates the lead-free industrial grade variant in the 20-pin wide SOIC package. Ensure compatibility with existing system power rails before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this translator when differential level shifting between distinct ECL families is required. It accommodates mixed voltage environments without external biasing resistors. The integrated VBB pin simplifies single-ended input configurations. Verify thermal management requirements for the SOIC-20 package under continuous operation.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This component belongs to the SY100EL series of high-speed logic translators originally developed by Micrel, now managed by Microchip Technology. The series focuses on maintaining signal integrity across different emitter-coupled logic standards. The ZG suffix specifically denotes the lead-free industrial temperature range version packaged in a 20-pin wide SOIC housing.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Direct substitutes include SY100EL90VZI and SY100EL90VZC. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications against current design requirements before substitution.
