SK100E116
Description
The SK10/100E116 is a quint differential line receiver designed for use in new, high-performance ECL systems. The receiver design features clamp circuitry to cause a defined output state if both the inverting and non-inverting inputs are left open; in this case the Q output goes low, while the Q- output goes high. This feature makes the device ideal for twisted pair applications. If both inverting and non-inverting inputs are at an equal potential of >- 2.9V, the receiver does not go to a defined state, but rather shares current in normal differential amplifier fashion, producing output voltage levels midway between high and low. This may even cause the device to oscillate. The SK10/100E116 provides VBB output for either singleended use or as a DC bias for AC coupling to the device. The VBB output pin should be used only as a DC bias for the E116 as its current sink/source capability is limited. Whenever used, the VBB pin should be bypassed to VCC via a 0.01 µF...
