Overview
The MC100LVEP111, produced by onsemi, is a low skew 2:1:10 differential driver designed specifically for high-performance clock distribution. This component is optimized for accepting two clock sources into an input multiplexer and is suitable for use in both PECL (Positive ECL) and HSTL (High-Speed Transistor Logic) modes. It operates within a voltage range of 2.5 V to 3.3 V in PECL mode and can also function in NECL (Negative ECL) mode with a voltage range of -2.375 V to -3.8 V. The device is known for its low output-to-output skew and minimal jitter, making it ideal for distributing low skew clocks across backplanes or boards.
