SY10ELT20VZC-TR

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The SY10ELT20VZC-TR is a single TTL-to-differential PECL translator manufactured by Microchip Technology. It supports both +5V and +3.3V power supplies, utilizing PNP TTL inputs for minimal loading and differential PECL outputs. The device operates within a commercial temperature range of 0°C to +70°C and is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package. Key electrical parameters include a typical propagation delay of 300ps, a maximum input frequency of 350MHz, and a part-to-part skew of 500ps.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Translates TTL logic levels to differential PECL signals
• Features PNP TTL inputs to minimize circuit loading
• Supports dual voltage operation at +5V or +3.3V
• Provides low skew single gate design

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the specific ordering suffix 'ZCTR' confirms tape and reel packaging and industrial/commercial availability. Confirm RoHS compliance status as standard versions may use Sn-Pb finishes while Pb-Free variants utilize NiPdAu. Ensure the component matches the exact Micrel/Microchip datasheet revision D specifications before procurement.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when translating TTL sources to PECL destinations with strict space and power constraints. The PNP input structure reduces loading on the driving stage compared to NPN alternatives. Verify that the required operating voltage aligns with the available +3.3V or +5V supply rails in the target system architecture.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This component belongs to the Precision Edge family of high-speed translators originally developed by Micrel, Inc., now under Microchip Technology. The series includes compatible variants such as the SY100ELT20V for different ECL logic level standards. The ZG suffix indicates a lead-free package option recommended for new designs.
