The MC100EP16F is a differential receiver/driver. The device is functionally equivalent to the EP16 device with higher performance capabilities. With reduced output swings, rise/fall transition times are significantly faster than on the EP16. The EP16F is ideally suited for interfacing with high frequency sources.
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 0.01 uF capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, V
should be left open.
