MC100LVEL90DWR2G

Introduction to MC100LVEL90DWR2G

MC100LVEL90DWR2G is a single low-voltage differential-signaling translator which provides a 1.2V to 3.3V (1.8V to 2.5V) differential to single-ended voltage level translation over the temperature range of -40°C to 85°C. The device is designed and tested to meet the Automotive standard specification of AEC-Q100.

Application field of MC100LVEL90DWR2G

MC100LVEL90DWR2G is mainly used in automotive applications such as engines, brakes, steering, and chassis systems where single-ended signals interface with differential busses or backplanes. It is also used in communication, industrial control, data acquisition, and other systems which require reliable communication between two voltage domains.

Working Principle of MC100LVEL90DWR2G

The MC100LVEL90DWR2G functions as a logically controlled, single-ended to differential translator. It contains two single-ended to differential translator circuits, one differential to single-ended translator, a reference voltage source, and an output enable (OE) control input. The device is capable of translating voltage levels between 1.2V and 3.3V (1.8V and 2.5V) either direction on a signal by signal basis. It can handle differential signals up to 300 Mbps at 1.2V (1.8V) and 160 Mbps at 3.3V (2.5V).The reference voltage source establishes the threshold level that the signal must exceed before translation occurs. The OE control input enables or disables translation of the input signal. If the OE control is 0, translation does not occur.

Conclusion

MC100LVEL90DWR2G is a versatile single rail translator IC with a wide range of applications. It can be used to translate voltage levels between 1.2V and 3.3V (1.8V and 2.5V) either direction on a signal-by-signal basis. Its features of low power consumption, small package, wide operating temperature range, and AEC-Q100 compatibility make it a suitable choice for applications such as automotive, communication, industrial control, and data acquisition.
