Product details
Overview
SY10EP01VZG from Micrel is an industrial-grade 4-input ECL OR/NOR gate operating from –5.5V to –3.0V VEE or +3.0V to +5.5V VCC, delivering 200ps typical propagation delay, 3GHz maximum toggle frequency, and differential Q/!Q outputs with 75kΩ internal input pulldowns. It serves high-speed logic decisioning in telecom clock distribution and RF signal path control.
For engineers reviewing the SY10EP01VZG datasheet, SY10EP01VZG pinout, SY10EP01VZG application, or SY10EP01VZG equivalent, key selection criteria include ECL-compatible voltage thresholds (VIH = –1.145V typ, VIL = –1.87V typ), industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C), Pb-free NiPdAu lead finish, and Z8-1 SOIC-8 package compatibility.
Technical Context
The SY10EP01VZG implements true ECL logic with complementary differential outputs and internally terminated inputs, supporting both negative-VEE and positive-VCC supply configurations. Its architecture enables sub-300ps propagation delay across temperature while maintaining <20ps device skew between D0–D3 inputs and Q output.
It operates as a single-gate function within the ECL Pro™ family, requiring no external biasing due to integrated 75kΩ pulldown resistors on all inputs and guaranteed LOW default state on Q when inputs are open. Output drive capability is rated for ±50mA continuous current into 50Ω loads referenced to VCC – 2.0V.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Range | VCC = 0V, VEE = –5.5V to –3.0V; or VCC = +3.0V to +5.5V, VEE = 0V - supports dual-supply ECL or PECL interface designs |
| Propagation Delay | tPD = 150–250ps (typ 200ps) - enables sub-nanosecond timing-critical logic decisions |
| Max Toggle Frequency | fMAX = 3GHz - validated for high-speed serial data path enable/disable control |
| Input Thresholds | VIH = –1.145V, VIL = –1.87V (at TA = +25°C) - compatible with standard ECL logic families |
| Output Voltage Swing | VOH = –0.945V, VOL = –1.745V (50Ω to VCC – 2.0V) - ensures clean differential signaling margin |

| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (D0) | ECL Data Input | Active-low compatible input with 75kΩ internal pulldown; accepts –1.935V to –0.885V logic levels |

| 5 (VEE) | Negative Power Supply | Primary return for –5.5V to –3.0V operation; must be decoupled locally to minimize ground bounce |
| 6 (/Q) | Complementary Output | Differential inverted output; matched rise/fall times (60–180ps) and skew <20ps vs Q |
| 7 (Q) | True Output | Primary OR result output; drives 50Ω load to VCC – 2.0V with –0.945V/–1.745V swing |
| 8 (VCC) | Positive Power Supply | Supports +3.0V to +5.5V operation mode; used with VEE = 0V for PECL-compatible configuration |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar ECL OR/NOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC10EP01DR2G | ON Semiconductor part; identical 4-input OR/NOR function, same SOIC-8 package, but uses Sn-Pb finish and commercial temp range (0°C to +70°C) | Limited to non-industrial environments; lacks Pb-free NiPdAu finish and extended temperature qualification | Select only for cost-sensitive commercial designs where industrial temp and RoHS compliance are not required |
| SN65EPT23D | Texas Instruments part; dual 2-input OR gate in SOIC-8; different logic topology (no NOR output), higher 350ps tPD, and +2.5V to +5.5V supply only | No complementary /Q output; incompatible with differential ECL signaling; requires level translation for legacy ECL systems | Use only in new +3.3V PECL designs where dual-gate density outweighs need for single-gate NOR functionality |
Compared with MC10EP01DR2G and SN65EPT23D, the SY10EP01VZG uniquely combines industrial temperature rating, Pb-free NiPdAu finish, true differential Q/!Q outputs, and sub-250ps propagation - making it the sole choice for ruggedized ECL timing and control in telecom infrastructure and defense electronics.

FAQ
What is the recommended power supply configuration for SY10EP01VZG in ECL mode?
The SY10EP01VZG supports two valid ECL supply configurations: VCC = 0V with VEE = –5.5V to –3.0V (standard negative-ECL), or VCC = +3.0V to +5.5V with VEE = 0V (PECL mode). In either case, outputs are referenced to VCC – 2.0V via 50Ω termination. Decoupling capacitors must be placed within 5mm of pins 5 (VEE) and 8 (VCC) to maintain signal integrity. The SY10EP01VZG does not support mixed-supply operation.
Does SY10EP01VZG require external pull-down resistors on its inputs?
No, the SY10EP01VZG integrates 75kΩ internal pulldown resistors on all four inputs (D0–D3), eliminating the need for external biasing. This ensures a defined LOW state when inputs are left unconnected or float during power-up. The internal pulldowns also guarantee that the Q output defaults LOW under open-input conditions - a key safety feature in clock gating and enable control circuits using the SY10EP01VZG.
What is the meaning of "HEP01" marking on SY10EP01VZG package?
"HEP01" is the top-side laser marking code for the SY10EP01VZG, indicating the specific die revision and product variant within Micrel's ECL Pro™ OR/NOR gate family. It appears alongside the Pb-free bar-line indicator on the Z8-1 SOIC-8 package. This marking is used for traceability and matches the ordering part number suffix "ZG", confirming industrial temperature grade and NiPdAu lead finish - distinct from "HEP01" markings on commercial-grade SY10EP01VZC parts.
Can SY10EP01VZG be used as a drop-in replacement for EL01 or E101 devices?
The SY10EP01VZG is functionally equivalent to the legacy EL01 and E101 quad OR/NOR devices per Micrel's datasheet, sharing identical logic function, pinout, and DC/AC specifications. However, it is a single-gate version - not a quad - so PCB layout must accommodate the 8-pin SOIC footprint rather than the 16-pin package of E101. No electrical redesign is needed, but board space and routing differ. The SY10EP01VZG retains full compatibility with EL01-level timing and voltage thresholds.
What is the maximum output current rating for SY10EP01VZG and how is it defined?
The SY10EP01VZG is rated for ±50mA continuous output current and ±100mA surge current per output (Q or /Q), measured into a 50Ω load referenced to VCC – 2.0V. This rating applies across the full industrial temperature range (–40°C to +85°C) and ensures reliable operation when driving transmission lines or fanout to multiple ECL inputs. Exceeding ±50mA continuously may cause thermal drift in VOH/VOL or accelerated aging - design margins should maintain ≤40mA average load per SY10EP01VZG output.
