SY10EP16VKI

Overview

The SY10EP16VKI is a high-speed differential receiver from the ECL Pro family, manufactured by Microchip Technology. It operates on 5V or 3.3V supplies and supports clock throughput up to 3GHz. The device features guaranteed propagation delays of 100ps to 300ps and output transition times under 180ps across the industrial temperature range of -40°C to +85°C. Packaged in an 8-pin MSOP (K8-1), it includes internal 75kΩ input pull-down resistors and a VBB reference voltage output for AC coupling biasing.

Feature Summary

• High-speed differential signal reception with optimized waveform characteristics
• Integrated VBB reference voltage output for single-ended use or AC coupling bias
• Internal 75kΩ input pull-down resistors for open-input state management

Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• Differential data transmission systems
• Clock distribution networks requiring fast transition times

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized channels as this part originates from Micrel, now part of Microchip. Confirm package marking HP16 matches the K8-1 MSOP specification. Ensure supply voltages align with the specified 3.0V to 5.5V range. Check RoHS compliance status if lead-free variants are required for specific manufacturing standards.

Selection Notes

Select this component when faster performance than the SY10EL16V is required for differential signaling applications. Consider the 8-pin MSOP package for space-constrained designs. Verify that the 3GHz toggle frequency meets system bandwidth requirements. Evaluate the need for the VBB pin functionality if AC-coupled inputs are utilized in the circuit design.

Part Context

This device belongs to the SY10EP16V series within the ECL Pro product line. It serves as a high-performance successor to the SY10EL16V, offering improved output transition times and higher maximum toggle frequencies. The VKI suffix denotes the industrial temperature grade (-40°C to +85°C) and the K8-1 MSOP package type.

Replacement Considerations

The SY10EL16V is functionally equivalent but offers lower performance capabilities. Designers should verify that the slower transition times of the EL16V variant meet the specific timing requirements of the application before substituting.
