ON Semiconductor MC100E104FNR2: A High-Performance Quint ECL to PECL Translator

The MC100E104FNR2 from ON Semiconductor is a quint differential ECL to PECL translator fabricated with a high-speed silicon-gate process. This integrated circuit is designed to address the needs of high-speed communication and computing systems, providing a reliable interface between Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) and Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (PECL) signal levels.

With five logic level translation channels, the MC100E104FNR2 is ideal for applications that require multiple signal translations in a single package. Each translator has differential inputs and outputs, ensuring that signals are less susceptible to noise and can maintain integrity over longer distances or in electrically noisy environments.

The device operates over a wide voltage range, typically from -4.2V to -5.7V for ECL and +4.2V to +5.7V for PECL, making it versatile for various system voltages. The MC100E104FNR2 also features a maximum propagation delay of 500ps, allowing for high-speed operation critical in modern digital communication systems.

Additional features of the MC100E104FNR2 include:

• Asynchronous Master Reset (MR) for all channels
• Internal input hysteresis for enhanced noise margin
• Compatible with MECL 10H and 100H ECL logic levels
• Available in a 28-lead PLCC package

ON Semiconductor's commitment to quality ensures that the MC100E104FNR2 meets the stringent requirements for industrial and telecommunications applications. The device's performance is characterized for operation from -40°C to +85°C, covering the full range of typical industrial temperature grades.

Whether integrating into a high-speed router, a fiber-optic interface, or a complex digital signal processing system, the MC100E104FNR2 offers a compact, reliable solution for translating between ECL and PECL logic levels. Its robust design and high-speed capabilities make it a preferred choice for engineers looking to optimize their high-speed digital designs.
