The MC10EP16TDT is a high-speed dual differential MESD (Multiple Emitter Schottky) ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) input to TTL (Transistor-Transistor Logic) output translator IC (integrated circuit). It is commonly used in applications where conversion between ECL and TTL logic levels is required, such as in telecommunications, networking, and data communication systems. This component offers various key features that make it suitable for such applications.
One of the standout features of the MC10EP16TDT is its high speed and low propagation delay. With a maximum propagation delay of just 350 picoseconds, it can efficiently handle high-frequency signals, making it ideal for time-critical applications. Additionally, it supports a wide operating frequency range, ranging from DC up to 3.5 GHz, allowing it to handle high-speed data transmission.
Another notable feature is its dual differential inputs, which allow it to accept two pairs of differential ECL inputs. These inputs are compatible with various ECL logic families, including 10K, 100K, and GTL (Gunning Transceiver Logic), enhancing its versatility and compatibility with different systems.
The MC10EP16TDT also offers a TTL compatible output stage, which provides convenient interfacing with TTL logic integrated circuits. This compatibility allows for seamless integration with existing TTL-based systems and simplifies the design process when combining ECL and TTL logic elements.
Furthermore, this component operates from a single 3
