Overview
The MC100EP90DTR2, produced by onsemi, is a triple ECL to LVPECL/PECL translator. This device is designed to receive differential LVECL or ECL input signals and translate them into differential LVPECL or PECL output signals. It is particularly useful in high-speed signal translation applications, ensuring compatibility between different logic families. The device features a VBB output for interfacing with single-ended LVECL or ECL inputs and includes internal input pull-down resistors for default state configuration.
