SY100EL92ZI

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100EL92ZI is a triple LVPECL-to-PECL or PECL-to-LVPECL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates with three power rails: VCC and VCCO connected to the standard PECL supply (4.5V to 5.5V), and VCC_VBB connected to the 3.3V supply for LVPECL translation, or vice versa. The device features a propagation delay of 500ps typical, with a maximum of 710ps for single-ended inputs. It supports differential line receiver capability and includes a VBB output for interfacing single-ended signals. Operating temperature range is -40°C to +85°C.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Triple channel voltage level translation between LVPECL and PECL standards
• Differential line receiver capability for same-level signal reception
• Integrated VBB reference output for single-ended input interfacing
• Fully differential design ensuring signal integrity

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Translating PECL signals to differential LVPECL outputs
• Translating LVPECL signals to PECL outputs
• Receiving PECL-to-PECL or LVPECL-to-LVPECL signals as a differential line receiver

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'ZI' corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and SOIC-20 package as documented in the datasheet. Confirm that the required three power rails (VCC, VCCO, VCC_VBB) are correctly configured for the intended translation direction. Ensure bypass capacitors are placed near VCC and VCCO pins as specified.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when simultaneous translation between LVPECL and PECL domains is required within a system. It is suitable for applications needing a differential line receiver function alongside level shifting. Consider the need for three distinct power supplies if using single-ended inputs or specific translation modes. Verify compatibility with existing clock distribution architectures requiring low skew and high-speed translation.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

The SY100EL92 belongs to the SY100EL series of high-speed ECL/LVPECL/PECL logic devices from Microchip Technology (formerly Micrel). This series focuses on providing robust signal integrity solutions for high-frequency digital systems. The ZI suffix indicates an industrial temperature grade variant packaged in a 20-pin wide SOIC format, distinguishing it from commercial grades or tape-and-reel options.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

SY100EL92ZG is a lead-free version of the same functional device in the same package and temperature range.
