Overview
The NBSG86A, produced by Onsemi, is a multi-function differential logic gate that belongs to the GigaComm™ family of high-performance Silicon Germanium (SiGe) products. This device is highly versatile and can be configured to function as an AND/NAND, OR/NOR, XOR/XNOR, or a 2:1 multiplexer (MUX). It is housed in a compact 3 x 3 mm 16-pin QFN package, making it suitable for high-density applications.
The NBSG86A features differential inputs with internal 50Ω termination resistors, supporting various input standards such as NECL (Negative ECL), PECL (Positive ECL), LVCMOS/LVTTL, CML, and LVDS. The Output Level Select (OLS) input allows programming of the peak-to-peak output amplitude in five discrete steps from 0 to 800 mV.
