SY10EP16VZC

Overview

The SY10EP16VZC is a high-speed differential receiver manufactured by Micrel, Inc., operating within the ECL Pro family. It supports dual power supply configurations of 3.0V to 5.5V or -5.5V to -3.0V with a maximum toggle frequency of 3GHz. The device features guaranteed AC performance over temperature and voltage ranges, including propagation delays between 100ps and 300ps, and output transition times under 180ps. It includes an internal 75kΩ input pulldown resistor and provides a VBB reference voltage output for DC biasing. The component is housed in an 8-pin MSOP package (Z8-1) and operates across a commercial temperature range.

Feature Summary

• High-speed differential reception capability supporting clock throughput up to 3GHz
• Integrated VBB pin providing a reference voltage output for single-ended use or AC coupling bias
• Internal 75kΩ input pulldown resistor ensuring defined states under open input conditions
• ECL compatible I/O interface designed for interfacing with high-frequency sources

Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources requiring fast transition times
• DC bias generation for AC coupling circuits via the VBB pin
• High-speed data transmission systems utilizing ECL logic families

Procurement Notes

Verify that the SY10EP16VZC variant corresponds to the Z8-1 MSOP package with Sn-Pb lead finish as specified in the ordering information. Confirm the commercial temperature rating aligns with system requirements. Note that this specific part number is designated for commercial use; industrial variants utilize different suffixes. Ensure compatibility with existing PCB footprints for the 8-pin MSOP configuration during procurement planning.

Selection Notes

Select the SY10EP16VZC when a high-speed differential receiver with sub-nanosecond propagation delay is required for commercial applications. This model is suitable for designs needing a dedicated VBB output for biasing without external components. Consider the 8-pin MSOP package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space. Verify that the 3GHz toggle frequency meets the maximum system clock requirements before finalizing the selection.
