The MC100EPT26 is a 1:2 Fanout Differential LVPECL to LVTTL translator. Because LVPECL (Positive ECL) levels are used only +3.3V and ground are required. The small outline 8-lead SOIC package and the 1:2 fanout design of the EPT26 makes it ideal for applications which require the low skew duplication of a signal in a tightly packed PC board. The VBB output allows the EPT26 to be used in a single-ended input mode. In this mode the VBB output is tied to the D0bar input for a non-inverting buffer or the D0 input for an inverting buffer. If used, the VBB pin should be bypassed to ground via a 0.01 uF capacitor.

LVDS Communication

Low Voltage Differential Signaling, or LVDS, is an electrical signaling system that can run at very high speeds over cheap, twisted-pair copper cables.

Applications: Firewire, SATA, SCSI
