SY100ELT20VZC-TR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100ELT20VZC-TR is a single TTL-to-differential PECL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology (formerly Micrel). It operates with +3.3V or +5V supplies and features a PNP TTL input for minimal loading. The device provides differential PECL outputs and has a typical propagation delay of 300ps, with maximum limits of 600ps. It supports a maximum input frequency of 350MHz and part-to-part skew of 500ps. Available in an 8-pin SOIC package, it is designed for low power consumption and space-constrained applications requiring clock or data signal translation.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Supports both 3.3V and 5V power supply options
• Utilizes PNP TTL input structure for minimal loading

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Clock signal translation
• Data signal translation
• Low power system designs
• Space-constrained electronic circuits

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'ZCTR' indicates tape and reel packaging and commercial temperature range. Confirm the 'SY100' prefix denotes compatibility with 100K ECL standards rather than 10H. Ensure the manufacturer origin is recognized as Micrel/Microchip. Check for Pb-free status if required, noting that 'ZG' variants differ from standard 'ZC'. Validate operating temperature range against application requirements.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when translating TTL inputs to differential PECL outputs is required. Choose the SY100 variant specifically for compatibility with 100K ECL standards, distinct from the SY10 version which supports 10H levels. Consider the 8-pin SOIC package for board space efficiency. Evaluate power supply constraints to ensure compatibility with either 3.3V or 5V operation. Verify frequency requirements do not exceed the 350MHz maximum input frequency specification.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This device belongs to the Precision Edge family of high-speed logic translators. It bridges the gap between TTL input standards and PECL output requirements. The SY100ELT20V variant is optimized for 100K ECL compatibility. It serves as a single-gate solution for converting digital signals while maintaining low skew and propagation delay characteristics essential for high-speed data transmission systems.
