The MC100LVEL17 is a 3.3 V ECL, quad differential receiver. The device is functionally equivalent to the E116 device with the capability of operation from either a -3.3 V or +3.3 V supply voltage. Under open input conditions, the D input will be biased at VCC/2 and the D input will be pulled down to VEE. This operation will force the Q output LOW and ensure stability. The VBB pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to this device only. For single-ended input conditions, the unused differential input is connected to VBB as a switching reference voltage. VBB may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple VBB and VCC via a 0.01 mF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, VBB should be left open. |
