The SY100EL91 is a triple PECL-to-ECL translator. It
receives standard voltage PECL signals and translates
them to different ECL output signals.
A V
BB
output is provided for interfacing with single
ended PECL signals at the input. If a single ended input
is to be used, the V
BB
output should be connected to the
D input. The active signal would then drive the D input.
When used, the V
BB
output should be bypassed to ground
via a 0.01
F capacitor. The V
BB
output is designed to act
as the switching reference for the EL91 under single
ended input switching conditions. As a result this pin can
only source/sink up to 0.5mA of current.
To accomplish the level translation the EL91 requires
three power rails. The V
CC
supply should be connected
to the positive supply, and the V
EE
pin should be
connected to the negative power supply. The GND pins
as expected are connected to the system ground plane.
Both V
EE
and V
CC
should be bypassed to ground via
0.01
F capacitors.
Under open input conditions, the D input will be biased
at V
CC
/2 and the D input will be pulled to GND. This
condition will force the Q output to a LOW, ensuring
stability.

EE
= -4.2V to -5.5V
NOTES:
1. Skew is measured between outputs under identical transitions.
2. Minimum input swing for which AC parameters are guaranteed. The device has a DC gain of ~40.
3. The CMR range is referenced to the most positive side of the differential input signal. Normal operation is obtained if the HIGH level falls within the specified
range and the peak-to-peak voltage lies between V
PP
min. and 1V.
