Description The MC10/100LVEP16 is a world class differential receiver/driver. The device is functionally equivalent to the EL16, EP16 and LVEL16 devices. With output transition times significantly faster than the EL16 and LVEL16, the LVEP16 is ideally suited for interfacing with high frequency and low voltage (2.5 V) sources. Single-Ended CLK input operation is limited to a VCC ≥ 3.0 V in PECL mode, or VEE ≤ −3.0 V in NECL mode. 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.
