SY10EP16UMG-TR

Overview

The SY10EP16UMG-TR is a high-speed, fully differential ECL Receiver/Driver from the Precision Edge series. It processes clock signals up to 3GHz or data patterns up to 2.5Gbps with a typical propagation delay of 240ps and rise/fall times under 200ps. The device operates on a 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±10% supply, supporting PECL (VCC = 2.375V to 3.63V) and NECL modes. It features an integrated voltage reference (VBB), internal pull-down/up resistors, and ultra-low jitter (< 0.3ps RMS). Packaged in an 8-pin MLF (2mm x 2mm) for surface mount applications.

Feature Summary

• Precision 800mV ECL output swing with guaranteed AC performance across temperature and voltage ranges
• Ultra-low jitter design ensuring signal integrity for high-frequency clock distribution
• Integrated VBB reference pin for biasing unused inputs and terminating AC-coupled interfaces
• Internal input clamps force the Q output low when inputs are left open

Applications

• SONET clock and data distribution
• Fibre Channel clock and data distribution
• Gigabit Ethernet clock and data distribution
• Backplane distribution

Procurement Notes

Verify the component originates from authorized Microchip Technology channels to ensure authenticity. Confirm the specific ordering suffix matches the required tape and reel packaging format. Validate that the device meets the industrial temperature range specifications (-40°C to +85°C) required for your application environment before finalizing procurement.

Selection Notes

Select this component for designs requiring high-speed differential signaling with minimal jitter. Ensure the power supply architecture supports both PECL and NECL operating ranges. Verify that the PCB layout accommodates the 8-pin MLF package dimensions and provides adequate thermal dissipation for the exposed pad connection.
