DESCRIPTION
The AZ10/100EP16 is a Silicon–Germanium (SiGe) differential receiver. The device is functionally equivalent
to the AZ10/100EL16 device with higher performance capabilities. With output transition times significantly faster
than the AZ10/100EL16, the EP16 is ideally suited for interfacing with high frequency sources.
The EP16 provides a VBB output for single-ended use or a DC bias reference for AC coupling to the device. For
single-ended input applications, the V
BB
reference should be connected to one side of the D/D¯ differential input pair.
The input signal is then fed to the other D/D¯ input. The V
BB
pin can support 1.5mA sink/source current. When
used, the V
BB
pin should be bypassed to ground via a 0.01µF capacitor.
Under open input conditions internal input clamps will force the Q output LOW.
NOTE: Specifications in ECL/PECL tables are valid when thermal equilibrium is established.

1. Duty cycle skew is the difference between a t
PLH
and t
PHL
propagation delay through a device.
2. V
PP
is the minimum peak-to-peak differential input swing for which AC parameters are guaranteed.
3. The V
CMR
range is referenced to the most positive side of the differential input signal. Normal operation is obtained if the HIGH level falls within
the specified range and the peak-to-peak voltage lies between V
PP
(min) and 1V.
