Overview
The MC100EP16VBDTG is a high-performance differential receiver/driver produced by onsemi. This device is functionally equivalent to the EP16 and LVEP16 but offers both high and low gain outputs, making it highly versatile for various high-frequency applications. It features an internally generated reference voltage (VBB) that can be used as a switching reference for single-ended inputs or to rebias AC coupled inputs. The device includes temperature compensation and is designed to operate in both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes.
