SY100EL92ZC-TR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100EL92ZC-TR is a triple LVPECL-to-PECL or PECL-to-LVPECL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates with three power rails: VCC, VCCO, and VCC_VBB. For PECL-to-LVPECL translation, VCC and VCC_VBB connect to 5.0V while VCCO connects to 3.3V. For LVPECL-to-PECL translation, VCC and VCCO connect to 5.0V while VCC_VBB connects to 3.3V. The device supports differential line receiver capability for PECL-to-PECL or LVPECL-to-LVPECL signals. Propagation delay is 500ps typical. It is housed in a 20-pin SOIC package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Supports bidirectional translation between LVPECL and PECL logic levels
• Features fully differential design with triple channel configuration
• Includes dedicated VBB output pin for interfacing single-ended input signals
• Capable of functioning as a differential line receiver for same-level signal translation

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Translating standard PECL signals to differential LVPECL outputs
• Translating differential LVPECL signals to PECL outputs
• Differential line reception for PECL-to-PECL signal paths
• Differential line reception for LVPECL-to-LVPECL signal paths

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix ZCTR indicates tape and reel packaging. Confirm that the component is sourced from authorized distributors to ensure authenticity. Check RoHS compliance status if lead-free variants are required for assembly processes. Validate that the industrial temperature range meets system environmental requirements before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when bidirectional level shifting between 3.3V LVPECL and 5V PECL domains is necessary. Ensure the design accommodates three distinct power supply rails (VCC, VCCO, VCC_VBB) based on the direction of translation. Verify that the 20-pin SOIC package fits the PCB layout constraints. Consider the 500ps propagation delay for high-speed timing analysis.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the SY100EL series of high-speed ECL-compatible logic devices originally developed by Micrel, Inc., now under Microchip Technology. The series focuses on translating and buffering low voltage positive emitter coupled logic signals. The ZG suffix variant offers lead-free construction with NiPdAu finish, whereas the ZC/ZI variants use Sn-Pb finishes.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

SY100EL92ZGTR is a lead-free alternative within the same package offering identical functionality.
