MC10E197
5V ECL Data Separator
The MC10E197 is an integrated data separator designed for use in high speed hard disk drive applications. With data rate capabilities of up to 50 Mb/s the device is ideally suited for today’s and future state-of-the-art hard disk designs.
The E197 is typically driven by a pulse detector which reads the magnetic information from the storage disk and changes it into ECL pulses. The device is capable of operating on both 2:7 and 1:7 RLL coding schemes. Note that the E197 does not do any decoding but rather prepares the disk data for decoding by another device.
For applications with higher data rate needs, such as tape drive systems, the device accepts an external VCO.
