Overview
The MC10EL16DTG is a 5.0 V ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) differential receiver produced by onsemi. This device is functionally equivalent to the E116 device but offers higher performance capabilities, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency sources. The MC10EL16DTG features faster output transition times compared to the E116, enhancing its suitability for high-speed applications.
The device includes an internally generated voltage supply (VBB) that can be used as a switching reference voltage for single-ended input conditions or to rebias AC coupled inputs. It also includes internal input clamps that force the Q output LOW under open input conditions pulled to VEE.
