SY10EL16VEKC

Overview

The SY10EL16VEKC is a differential receiver from the Precision Edge family, designed for high-speed signal processing. It operates with VEE supply voltages ranging from -3.0V to -5.5V and supports both 3.3V and 5V power supply options. The device features a propagation delay of 250ps typical and includes an internal 75K Ohm input pull-down resistor. It is housed in an 8-lead MSOP package.

Feature Summary

• Provides very high voltage gain compared to standard EL16 or EL16V receivers
• Features data synchronous Enable/Disable (/EN) for complete glitchless gating of outputs
• Includes /Q output specifically intended for feedback purposes

Applications

• Pulse amplifier circuits
• Limiting amplifier applications
• Gating timing signals
• High frequency crystal oscillator designs

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific suffix 'K' corresponds to the 8-lead MSOP package configuration as documented in the ordering codes. Confirm the operating voltage range requirements match the specified -3.0V to -5.5V VEE range before finalizing procurement specifications.

Selection Notes

Select this component when enhanced DC gain is required over standard ECL receivers. The inclusion of the /EN input allows for synchronized glitchless gating, making it suitable for applications requiring precise control over output states without introducing timing artifacts during enable/disable transitions.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Precision Edge series of differential receivers manufactured by Microchip Technology (formerly Micrel). It serves as an enhanced version of the SY10/100EL16 family, offering improved performance characteristics while maintaining compatibility with industry-standard ECL logic levels.

Replacement Considerations

The SY10EL16VEKC is functionally equivalent to the SY10/100EL16VB variant but packaged in MSOP. Verify pinout compatibility if substituting with other variants within the EL16 family.
