Product details
Overview
SN65ELT22DGKR from Texas Instruments is a dual TTL-to-differential PECL translator in VSSOP-8 package, operating from 4.2 V to 5.7 V supply, delivering ≤1.1 ns max propagation delay, <50 ps typ output-to-output skew, and 470–500 MHz max switching frequency across –40°C to 85°C. It enables high-fidelity clock/data translation for backplane signaling and level conversion in telecom timing systems.
For engineers reviewing the SN65ELT22DGKR datasheet, SN65ELT22DGKR pinout, SN65ELT22DGKR application, or SN65ELT22DGKR equivalent, this page delivers verified electrical parameters, thermal resistance (θJB = 120°C/W), JEDEC-compliant MSL Level-1 reflow profile, SOIC/TSSOP package compatibility notes, and drop-in alternatives to MC10ELT22/MC100ELT22 for PECL interface design.
Technical Context
The SN65ELT22DGKR implements two independent TTL-input/PECL-output channels with built-in temperature compensation to stabilize DC output levels over temperature. Each channel features matched internal delays and low-skew outputs optimized for synchronous clock distribution.
It requires 50-Ω termination to VCC – 2.0 V at each PECL output pair (Q0/Q0, Q1/Q1) and draws 17.3–22 mA ICC across temperature. Input thresholds are VIH ≥ 2.0 V and VIL ≤ 0.8 V, with clamping diodes rated for –1.2 V IK.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Supply Voltage Range | 4.2 V to 5.7 V - Ensures robust operation across industrial 5-V rail tolerances without external regulation. |
| Propagation Delay (tPLH/tPHL) | 0.6–1.1 ns - Enables sub-nanosecond timing alignment critical for high-speed backplane clock trees. |
| Output-to-Output Skew | <50 ps typ - Guarantees phase coherence between Q0 and Q1 differential pairs for multi-lane synchronization. |
| Max Switching Frequency | 470–500 MHz - Supports data rates up to 1 Gbps in NRZ signaling with 300 mVpp amplitude. |
| Junction-to-Board Thermal Resistance | 120°C/W - Matches VSSOP-8 thermal performance for PCBs with standard copper pour under exposed pad. |
| Operating Temperature Range | –40°C to +85°C - Qualified for industrial-grade embedded timing applications without derating. |
| Moisture Sensitivity Level | Level-1-260°C-UNLIM - Allows standard SMT reflow without dry-pack or baking requirements. |
Pinout & Package
VSSOP-8 package (DGK), 3.0 mm × 3.0 mm body, 1.1 mm max height, exposed thermal pad, 0.65 mm pitch. Pin 1 index area located at top-left corner per JEDEC MO-187.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (D0) | TTL input channel 0 | Accepts standard 5-V TTL logic; floating state yields indeterminate output. |
| 2 (D1) | TTL input channel 1 | Independent of D0; supports asynchronous dual-channel translation. |
| 3 (GND) | Ground reference | Common return for TTL inputs and internal bias; must be low-inductance connection. |
| 4 (Q0) | PECL positive output channel 0 | Differential pair with Q0; requires 50-Ω termination to VCC – 2.0 V. |
| 5 (Q0) | PECL negative output channel 0 | Complementary to Q0; defines PECL logic polarity (high = ~4.0 V, low = ~3.2 V). |
| 6 (Q1) | PECL positive output channel 1 | Matched delay path to Q0; used for parallel clock/data lanes. |
| 7 (Q1) | PECL negative output channel 1 | Complementary to Q1; maintains inter-channel skew <50 ps. |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive supply | Single 5-V rail powers both channels; no separate analog/digital supplies required. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Drop-in compatibility | Pin- and function-compatible with MC10ELT22 and MC100ELT22 - allows legacy design reuse without layout change. |
| Built-in temperature compensation | Stabilizes PECL output voltage swing (VOH/VOL) over –40°C to 85°C - eliminates need for external calibration. |
| Low output skew | <50 ps typical between Q0/Q0 and Q1/Q1 - ensures deterministic timing for multi-channel clock fanout. |
| High-speed AC performance | 500 MHz max switching frequency at 300 mVpp amplitude - supports OC-48/STM-16 and Gigabit Ethernet clocks. |
| Robust input interface | VIH ≥ 2.0 V, VIL ≤ 0.8 V, IIH ≤ 20 µA, IIL ≥ –200 µA - interfaces directly with 74LS/74HC logic without level shifters. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar dual TTL-to-PECL translation applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC100ELT22DG | Same pinout, identical AC specs, but wider VCC range (4.2–5.7 V vs. 4.75–5.25 V); higher ICC (25 mA typ). | Valid for legacy designs requiring direct replacement; not recommended for new designs due to obsolescence risk. | Select when maintaining existing MC100ELT22-based layouts with minimal validation effort. |
| SN65LVDS22DR | LVDS output (not PECL); lower supply (3.3 V); 1.6 ns max delay; different termination (100 Ω diff). | Suitable only where system uses LVDS receivers; incompatible with PECL infrastructure without redesign. | Choose only if migrating to LVDS ecosystem and accepting higher propagation delay and different power domain. |
Compared with SN65ELT22DGKR, MC100ELT22DG offers identical functionality but lacks TI's extended product longevity support, while SN65LVDS22DR trades PECL compatibility for lower power and LVDS interoperability-neither is pin-compatible nor drop-in, requiring board-level changes for either alternative.

FAQ
What is the recommended termination for SN65ELT22DGKR PECL outputs?
The SN65ELT22DGKR PECL outputs (Q0/Q0 and Q1/Q1) require 50-Ω resistive termination to VCC – 2.0 V per differential pair. This matches the standard PECL load condition specified in the datasheet and ensures correct common-mode voltage (~1.5 V) and differential swing (~800 mV). Using incorrect termination causes signal integrity degradation, increased jitter, and potential receiver misinterpretation. The SN65ELT22DGKR does not include internal termination resistors.
Does SN65ELT22DGKR support operation at 3.3-V supply?
No, SN65ELT22DGKR is specified exclusively for 4.2 V to 5.7 V operation. Its internal PECL output stage requires ≥4.2 V to generate valid differential output voltages (VOH ≈ 3.9–4.1 V, VOL ≈ 3.2–3.4 V relative to ground). At 3.3 V, the outputs fail to meet PECL logic thresholds and may not drive downstream receivers reliably. For 3.3-V systems, consider TI's SN65LVDS22 or similar LVDS translators instead of SN65ELT22DGKR.
How does SN65ELT22DGKR handle floating TTL inputs?
The SN65ELT22DGKR output state is indeterminate when TTL inputs (D0 or D1) are left floating. The device lacks internal pull-up/down resistors, so unconnected inputs cause unpredictable output behavior and potential increased power consumption. TI explicitly recommends tying unused inputs to VCC or GND via ≤1 kΩ resistors. This requirement applies equally to both channels of SN65ELT22DGKR and is critical for stable operation in production hardware.
Is SN65ELT22DGKR pin-compatible with SN65ELT22D (SOIC-8)?
Yes, SN65ELT22DGKR (VSSOP-8) shares identical pin numbering, pin functions, and electrical behavior with SN65ELT22D (SOIC-8), per TI's package addendum and datasheet. Both use the same 8-pin arrangement: D0, D1, GND, Q0, Q0, Q1, Q1, VCC. However, PCB layout must accommodate VSSOP's smaller footprint (3.0 × 3.0 mm vs. SOIC's 4.9 × 3.9 mm) and finer 0.65 mm pitch - SN65ELT22DGKR cannot be substituted onto an SOIC land pattern without redesign.
What is the thermal performance difference between SN65ELT22DGKR and SN65ELT22D?
SN65ELT22DGKR (VSSOP-8) has θJB = 120°C/W, while SN65ELT22D (SOIC-8) has θJB = 79°C/W - meaning the SOIC version dissipates heat more efficiently to the PCB. Under identical 20 mA ICC and 5.0 V supply, SN65ELT22DGKR's junction temperature rises ~12°C higher than SN65ELT22D at ambient. This must be accounted for in thermally constrained layouts; SN65ELT22DGKR benefits from generous copper pour under its exposed thermal pad to mitigate the higher θJB.
