Overview
The MC10LVEP16DTG is a high-performance differential receiver/driver produced by onsemi. This device is functionally equivalent to the EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices, but it offers significantly faster output transition times, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage (2.5 V) sources. It operates in both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes, with operating ranges of VCC = 2.375 V to 3.8 V for PECL and VEE = -2.375 V to -3.8 V for NECL. The device features 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.
