Description
AI
The MC10/100EP90 is a TRIPLE ECL TO LVPECL/PECL translator. The device receives differential LVECL or ECL signals and translates them to differential LVPECL or PECL output signals. A VBBoutput is provided for interfacing with single ended LVECL or ECL signals at the input. If a single ended input is to be used the VBBoutput should be connected to the D input. The active signal would then drive the D input. When used the VBBoutput should be bypassed to ground by a 0.01 F capacitor. The VBBoutput is designed to act as the switching reference for the EP90 under single ended input switching conditions, as a result this pin can only source/sink up to 0.5mA of current.To accomplish the level translation the EP90 requires three power rails. The VCCsupply should be connected to the positive supply, and the VEEconnected to the negative supply.The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
