SY10EP16UZG

Overview

The SY100EP16UZG is a high-speed, fully differential ECL Receiver/Driver manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates from a 2.5V ±5% or 3.3V ±10% supply and supports clock signals up to 3GHz or data patterns up to 2.5Gbps. The device features a typical propagation delay of 240ps and guaranteed rise/fall times under 200ps. It includes an integrated voltage reference (VBB) for AC-coupled inputs and single-ended applications. The component is housed in an 8-pin SOIC package and functions within the industrial temperature range of –40°C to +85°C.

Feature Summary

• Supports PECL and NECL operation modes with internal pull-up and pull-down resistors on differential inputs.
• Features ultra-low jitter design with less than 0.3ps RMS random jitter.
• Includes an integrated VBB pin providing a bias voltage that tracks the positive supply voltage.

Applications

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

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'UZG' corresponds to the 8-pin SOIC package type before procurement. Confirm the operating temperature range requirements match the industrial specification limits. Ensure power supply decoupling capacitors are placed close to the VCC pins as specified in the datasheet. Check for any RoHS compliance documentation if required by local regulations.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a differential receiver/driver capable of processing high-frequency clock signals is required. It is suitable for designs needing compatibility with both 2.5V and 3.3V ECL logic families. Consider the SOIC-8 package constraints regarding board space and thermal dissipation compared to MLF or MSOP alternatives.

Part Context

This part belongs to the Precision Edge product line, designed for high-speed signal integrity. It serves as a buffer and line driver for transmitting differential ECL signals across controlled impedance transmission lines. The device is intended for use in networking equipment, storage systems, and test instruments requiring precise timing distribution.

Replacement Considerations

SY10EP16UZG is a compatible alternative within the same family offering similar functionality but potentially different input/output impedance characteristics.
