SY10EP16VZG

Overview

The SY10EP16VZG is a high-speed differential receiver manufactured by Micrel, Inc., operating within the ECL Pro family. It supports dual power supply configurations of VCC = 3.0V to 5.5V with VEE = 0V, or VEE = -5.5V to -3.0V with VCC = 0V. The device guarantees AC performance up to a maximum toggle frequency of 3 GHz and features propagation delays ranging from 100 ps to 300 ps across temperatures. Output rise/fall times are between 60 ps and 180 ps. 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.

Feature Summary

• High-speed differential reception capable of interfacing with high-frequency sources
• 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

Applications

• Interfacing with high-frequency signal sources
• DC bias generation for AC coupling circuits
• Single-ended signal conversion applications

Procurement Notes

Verify that the SY10EP16VZG designation corresponds to the industrial temperature range (-40°C to +85°C) and Pb-Free NiPdAu finish as specified in the ordering information. Confirm the package type matches the required 8-pin MSOP (K8-1) footprint. Ensure design compliance with the manufacturer's life support device restrictions and absolute maximum ratings regarding power supply voltages and lead temperatures.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a fast differential receiver with guaranteed 3 GHz throughput is required. It serves as a faster alternative to the SY10EL16V series. Consider the specific power supply configuration (positive vs. negative ground) and the need for an integrated VBB reference. Verify compatibility with the target PCB layout for the 8-pin MSOP package and ensure thermal equilibrium conditions are met for optimal AC performance.

Part Context
