Overview
The MC10LVEP16DR2G, produced by onsemi, is a high-performance differential receiver/driver. This device is functionally equivalent to the EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices but offers significantly faster output transition times. It is particularly suited for interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage (2.5 V) sources. The MC10LVEP16 supports both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes, making it versatile for various applications. The device includes an internally generated voltage supply (VBB) for rebiasing AC coupled inputs and serving as a switching reference voltage for single-ended input conditions.
