Overview
The MC100EP16DTG 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 but offers higher performance capabilities, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The MC100EP16DTG is part of the 100 Series, which includes temperature compensation, ensuring stable operation across a wide temperature range.
