NB6L16
2.5 V / 3.3 V Multilevel
Input to Differential
LVPECL/LVNECL
Clock or Data Receiver/
Driver/Translator Buffer
Description
www.onsemi.com
The NB6L16 is a high precision, low power ECL differential clock
or data receiver/driver/translator buffer. The device is functionally
equivalent to the EL16, EP16, LVEL16 and NBSG16 devices. With
output transition times of 70 ps, it is ideally suited for high frequency,
low power systems. The device is targeted for Backplane buffering,
GbE clock/data distribution, Fibre Channel distribution and SONET
clock/data distribution applications.
Input accept LVNECL (Negative ECL), LVPECL (Positive ECL),
LVTTL, LVCMOS, CML, or LVDS. Outputs are 800 mV
ECL signals.
The V
BB
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
BB
as a switching reference voltage.
V
BB
may also rebias AC coupled inputs. When used, decouple V
BB
and V
CC
via a 0.01
mF
capacitor and limit current sourcing or sinking
to 0.5 mA. When not used, V
BB
should be left open.

NOTE: Device will meet the specifications after thermal equilibrium has been established when mounted in a test socket or printed circuit
board with maintained transverse airflow greater than 500 lfpm. Electrical parameters are guaranteed only over the declared
operating temperature range. Functional operation of the device exceeding these conditions is not implied. Device specification limit
values are applied individually under normal operating conditions and not valid simultaneously.
