The EP16VA is a world-class differential receiver/driver. The device is functionally equivalent to the EP16 and LVEP16 devices but with high gain output. QHGand QHGbar outputs have a DC gain several times larger than the DC gain of an EP16.The VBBpin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to this device only. For single-ended input conditions, the unused differential input is connected to VBBas a switching reference voltage. VBBmay also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple VBBand VCCvia a 0.01 µF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, VBBshould be left open.Under open input conditions (pulled to VEE) internal input clamps will force the QHGoutput LOW.Special considerations are required for differential inputs under No Signal conditions to prevent instability.The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
