SK10/100E116
HIGH-PER.ORMANCE PRODUCTS 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.
