Overview
The MC100EP16DR2G is a high-performance 3.3 V/5 V ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) differential receiver/driver produced by onsemi. This device is functionally equivalent to the EL16 and LVEL16 devices but offers higher performance capabilities, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The MC100EP16DR2G is designed to operate in both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes, providing flexibility in various high-speed applications.
