The MC100E446FN is a high-speed, quad differential line receiver IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by ON Semiconductor. It is designed to receive and convert high-speed differential signals into logic-level signals in applications where high-performance data transmission is required.
Key Features of the MC100E446FN:
1. High Speed: The IC operates at a maximum data rate of 5.0 Gbps (gigabits per second), making it suitable for high-speed data communication systems such as fiber optic networks and high-speed serial links.
2. Differential Inputs: The IC has four differential inputs, which means it can receive four independent differential data signals simultaneously. This makes it suitable for applications that require multiple data streams to be received and processed simultaneously.
3. Differential CML Outputs: The outputs of the IC are differential current-mode logic (CML) signals. These outputs provide a high-speed and high-swing capability, making them compatible with various logic families and ensuring reliable data transmission.
4. Wide Common-Mode Input Voltage Range: The IC supports a wide common-mode input voltage range, enabling it to tolerate common-mode noise and ground potential differences between transmitting and receiving devices. This feature enhances the robustness and noise immunity of the IC in real-world applications.
5. Internal Termination Resistors: The MC100E446FN incorporates on-chip termination resistors for each input channel
