The MC10LVEP16 is a world-class differential receiver/driver. The device is functionally equivalent to the EL16, EP16 and LVEL16 devices. With output transition times significantly faster than the EL16 and LVEL16, the LVEP16 is ideally suited for interfacing with high frequency and low voltage (2.5 V) sources. Single ended input operation is limited to a VCC>= 3.0 V in PECL mode, or VEE<= 3.0 V in NECL mode.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 uF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, VBBshould be left open.The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
