The MC10ELT/100ELT21 is a differential PECL to TTL translator. Because PECL (Positive ECL) levels are used, only +5 V and ground are required. The small outline 8-lead package and the single gate of the ELT21 makes it ideal for those applications where space, performance and low power are at a premium. The VBB pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to this device only. For single-ended input conditions, the unused differential input is connected to VBB as a switching reference voltage. VBB may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple VBB and VCC via a 0.01 F capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, VBB should be left open. The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
