SY100ELT21ZG

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100ELT21ZG is a single differential LVPECL-to-LVTTL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates on a single +3.3V power supply, requiring only VCC and ground connections due to the LVPECL input levels. The device features a typical propagation delay of 2.0ns and provides 24mA TTL outputs. It is housed in an 8-lead Small Outline Integrated Circuit (SOIC) package with a flow-through pinout design. The component supports differential, single-ended, or AC-coupled interfaces and includes internal biasing for stability under open input conditions.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary
