Overview
The MC10LVEP16DTR2, produced by onsemi, is a high-performance 2.5 V/3.3 V ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) differential receiver/driver. This device is functionally equivalent to the EL16, EP16, and LVEL16 devices but offers significantly faster output transition times, making it ideal for interfacing with high-frequency and low-voltage sources. It is part of the MC10/100 series and includes temperature compensation in the 100 series.
The device operates in both PECL (Positive ECL) and NECL (Negative ECL) modes, supporting a wide range of supply voltages. The VBB pin provides an internally generated voltage reference, which can be used as a switching reference voltage for single-ended inputs or to rebias AC-coupled inputs.
