3.3V / 5V ECL DIFFERENTIAL RECEIVER/DRIVER WITH HIGH AND LOW GAIN

The EP16VB is a world-class differential receiver/driver. The device is functionally equivalent to the EP16 and LVEP16 devices but with both high and low gain outputs. Q and Qbar outputs have a DC gain several times larger than the DC gain of an EP16. Qbar output is provided for feedback purposes.The V pin, an internally generated voltage supply, is available to this device only. For single-ended input conditions, the unused differential input is connected to V as a switching reference voltage. V may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple V and V via a 0.01µF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, V should be left open.Special considerations are required for differential inputs under No Signal conditions to prevent instability.The 100 Series contains temperature compensation.
