DESCRIPTION
The AZ100LVEL16VT is a specialized oscillator gain stage with high gain output buffer including an enable.
The Q
HG
/Q¯HG outputs have a voltage gain several times greater than the Q/Q¯ outputs.
MLP 16, 3x3 mm Package (VTL) or DIE (VTX)
The AZ100LVEL16VTL and AZ100LVEL16VTX provide a selectable enable input (EN) that allows
continuous oscillator operation. See truth table for the Enable function. If Enable pull-up is desired in the
CMOS/TTL mode, an external ≤20 kΩ resistor connecting EN to V
CC
will override the on-chip pull-down resistor.
When disabled, the Q
HG
output is forced high and the Q¯HG output is forced low. The AZ100LVEL16VTL/VTX also
provides a V
BB
and 470 Ω internal bias resistors from D to VBB and D¯ to VBB. The VBB pin can support 1.5 mA
sink/source current. Bypassing V
BB
to ground with a 0.01 µF capacitor is recommended.
The outputs Q and Q¯ each have a selectable on-chip pull-down current source. See truth table below for current
source functions. External resistors may also be used to increase pull-down current to a maximum total of 25 mA.
Outputs Q
HG
and Q¯HG each have an optional on-chip pull-down current source of 10 mA. When pad/pin V
EEP
is
left open (NC), the output current sources are disabled and the Q
HG
/Q¯
HG
operate as standard PECL/ECL. When V
EEP
is connected to V
EE
, the current sources are activated. The Q
HG
/Q¯HG pull-down current can be decreased, by using a
resistor to connect V
EEP
to VEE. (See graph on page 5.)
MLP 8, 2x2 mm Package, VTNA, VTNB & VTNC Versions
All MLP 8, 2x2mm versions of the AZ100LVEL16VT provide an enable input that allows continuous oscillator
operation. VTNA and VTNB utilize an enable (EN¯¯ ) that operates in the PECL/ECL mode. When the EN¯¯ input is
LOW, the Q¯ and Q
HG
/Q¯HG outputs follow the data inputs. When EN¯¯ is HIGH, the QHG output is forced high and the
Q¯
HG
output is forced low. VTNC utilizes an enable (EN) that operates in the CMOS/TTL mode. When the EN input
is HIGH, the Q¯ and Q
HG
/Q¯HG outputs follow the data inputs. When EN is LOW, the QHG output is forced high and
the Q¯
HG
output is forced low.
For VTNA, both D and D¯ inputs are brought out and tied to the V
BB
pin through 470 Ω internal bias resistors. In
VTNB and VTNC, the D¯ input is internally tied directly to the V
BB
pin and the D input is tied to the VBB pin through
a 470 Ω internal bias resistor. Bypassing V
BB
to ground with a 0.01 µF capacitor is recommended.
All MLP 8, 2x2mm versions (VTNA, VTNB & VTNC) have the Q, Q
HG
, and Q¯HG current sources disabled,
while the Q¯ output operates with a 4 mA current source to V
EE
.
NOTE: Specifications in the ECL/PECL tables are valid when thermal equilibrium is established.
