Overview
The MC100EP16DT is a high-performance differential receiver/driver produced by onsemi. It is functionally equivalent to the EL16 and LVEL16 devices but offers higher performance capabilities, particularly in terms of output transition times. This makes it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The device features an internally generated voltage supply (VBB) that can be used as a switching reference voltage for single-ended input conditions or to rebias AC coupled inputs. Under open input conditions, internal input clamps force the Q output to default LOW. The 100 Series includes temperature compensation, enhancing its reliability and stability across various operating temperatures.

Q & A
- What is the typical propagation delay of the MC100EP16DT?
The typical propagation delay is 220 ps.
- What is the maximum operating frequency of the MC100EP16DT?
The maximum operating frequency is greater than 4 GHz.
- What are the operating voltage ranges for PECL and NECL modes?
For PECL mode, VCC ranges from 3.0 V to 5.5 V with VEE = 0 V. For NECL mode, VEE ranges from -3.0 V to -5.5 V with VCC = 0 V.
