VT73LVP10
TTL to Differential LVPECL Translator
with Enable
Applications
•= PECL clock source
General Description
The Vaishali VT73LVP10 is a general purpose TTL (CMOS) to differential LVPECL translator, with active-LOW
enable. The device operates from a single 3.3V supply. When /EN is LOW or open circuit, the device accepts
an LVTTL or LVCMOS input and provides differential LVPECL outputs referenced to the positive supply rail.
When /EN is HIGH, the Q output is set to the LOW state and QN output is set to the HIGH state.
Features
•= 700ps typical propagation delay
•= Differential LVPECL outputs
•= Flow-through pinout
•= -40
o
C to +85o C operating temperature range
•= 5V - tolerant inputs
•= ESD rating >2000V (Human Body
Model) or >200V (Machine Model)
•= Available as die, 8-pin SOIC or 8 pin
