Motorola MC100LVE310 MC100E310 Data Manual (1) Service Manual
Summary
Specialized differential ECL fanout buffers for ultra-stable clock distribution in high-speed digital systems. This manual provides comprehensive technical specifications and application guidance for designers working with low voltage, low skew CLK signals using both Negative (ECL) and Positive (PECL) logic states. It details electrical characteristics, optimal termination techniques, and usage guidelines necessary to guarantee minimal part-to-part and output-to-output skew in advanced backplane and board designs. Ideal for electrical engineers requiring high-performance reliability in demanding clock tree applications.

查询MC100E310供应商 SEMICONDUCTOR TECHNICAL DATA
The MC100LVE310 is a low voltage, low skew 2:8 differential ECL fanout buffer designed with clock distribution in mind. The device features fully differential clock paths to minimize both device and system skew.
LOW VOLTAGE
The LVE310 offers two selectable clock inputs to allow for redundant or
test clocks to be incorporated into the system clock trees. The 2:8 DIFFERENTIAL
MC100E310 is pin compatible to the National 100310 device. The FANOUT BUFFER MC100LVE310 works from a –3.3V supply while the MC100E310 provides identical function and performance from a standard –4.5V 100E voltage supply.

For applications which require a single–ended input, the VBB reference voltage is supplied. For single–ended input applications the VBB reference should be connected to the CLK input and bypassed to ground

via a 0.01µf capacitor. The input signal is then driven into the CLK input.
PLASTIC PACKAGE
To ensure that the tight skew specification is met it is necessary that CASE 776–02 both sides of the differential output are terminated into 50Ω, even if only one side is being used. In most applications all nine differential pairs will be used and therefore terminated. In the case where fewer than nine pairs are used it is necessary to terminate at least the output pairs adjacent to the output pair being used in order to maintain minimum skew. Failure to follow this guideline will result in small degradations of propagation delay (on the order of 10–20ps) of the outputs being used, while not catastrophic to most designs this will result in an increase in skew. Note that the package corners isolate outputs from one another such that the guideline expressed above holds only for outputs on the same side of the package. The MC100LVE310, as with most ECL devices, can be operated from a positive VCC supply in PECL mode. This allows the LVE310 to be used for high performance clock distribution in +3.3V systems. Designers can take advantage of the LVE310’s performance to distribute low skew clocks across the backplane or the board. In a PECL environment series or Thevenin line terminations are typically used as they require no additional power supplies, if parallel termination is desired a terminating voltage of VCC–2.0V will need to be provided. For more information on using PECL, designers should refer to Motorola Application Note AN1406/D.

Frequently Asked Questions
What termination resistors are required for optimal skew performance?
The CASE 776–02 both sides of the differential output must be terminated into 50Ω. If fewer than nine pairs are used, adjacent pairs must also be terminated.
How can I configure the device for single-ended input applications?
Connect the V reference BB voltage to the CLK input and bypass it via a 0.01μf capacitor, then drive the signal into the CLK input.
Is this component compatible with older product lines?
Yes, the MC100E310 is pin compatible with the National 100310 device.
Does this chip support positive voltage supply for clock distribution?
The LVE310 can operate from a positive V supply in PECL mode (e.g., +3.3V systems). For parallel termination, use a V –2.0V terminating voltage.
