SY10EP16VKC

Overview

The SY10EP16VKC is a high-speed differential receiver from the ECL Pro family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates within a supply voltage range of 3.0V to 5.5V and supports a maximum toggle frequency of 3GHz. The device features guaranteed propagation delays ranging from 100ps to 300ps depending on temperature conditions. Output rise and fall times are specified between 60ps and 180ps. It includes an internal 75kΩ input pulldown resistor and provides a VBB reference voltage output for biasing applications.

Feature Summary

• High-speed differential reception with AC performance guaranteed across temperature and supply voltage variations
• Integrated VBB pin providing a reference voltage output suitable for single-ended use or DC biasing
• Internal 75kΩ input pulldown resistor ensuring defined states under open input conditions
• Improved output waveform characteristics compared to previous generation devices

Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• Clock distribution networks requiring differential signaling
• High-speed data transmission systems

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific part number matches the required package type and operating temperature range. Confirm lead finish specifications if RoHS compliance is mandatory for the target application. Check datasheet revision history for any updates to electrical characteristics or mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement documentation.

Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing with high-frequency sources requiring fast transition times. Ensure the design accommodates the specific ECL logic levels and power supply requirements. Consider the MSOP-8 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and PCB layout space. Verify compatibility with existing system clock frequencies up to the maximum toggle limit.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SY10EP series, representing an enhanced version of the EL16V line receivers. It offers superior performance capabilities with significantly faster output transitions. The product is currently marked as not recommended for new designs in official documentation, indicating potential availability limitations or successor models.

Replacement Considerations

The SY10EL16V is functionally equivalent but exhibits lower performance capabilities. Designers should verify that the slower transition times of the alternative device meet the system's timing requirements before substitution.
