SY100EPT23LKC

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY100EPT23LKC is a dual differential LVPECL-to-LVTTL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates on a single +3.3V power supply and features two independent translation channels. The device accepts differential LVPECL inputs and provides LVTTL outputs with a typical propagation delay of 1.9ns. It supports maximum input frequencies exceeding 275MHz and includes internal input resistors for pulldown and pullup configurations. The component is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• LVPECL to LVTTL interface conversion
• High-speed digital communication systems

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'KC' corresponds to the K8-1 MSOP package type and commercial operating temperature range as documented in the official datasheet. Confirm that the manufacturer designation aligns with current Microchip Technology product lines, noting the historical Micrel origin. Ensure compliance with RoHS requirements if lead-free variants are necessary for the design.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing LVPECL sources with LVTTL destinations within a 3.3V system. The dual-gate architecture allows simultaneous processing of clock and data signals. Consider the 8-pin MSOP footprint for space-constrained designs. Verify that the required propagation delay and frequency specifications meet the application timing constraints.

Translators, Level Shifters FAQ

What happens to the output if the LVPECL inputs are left open?

The Q output will default to a LOW state when the inputs are open or at ground.

Does the SY100EPT23L require an external VBB reference voltage?

No, the device does not require an external VBB reference because it lacks LVPECL outputs.
