Overview
The MC100EP16VBDR2, produced by onsemi, is a high-performance 3.3 V/5 V ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) differential receiver/driver. This device is functionally equivalent to the EP16 and LVEP16 but offers both high and low gain outputs, making it versatile for various high-speed applications. It features temperature compensation and is designed to operate in both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes.
