Product details
Overview
SY10EP08VKC-TR from Micrel is a 2-input differential ECL/XLPECL XOR/XNOR gate operating at 3.3V or 5V supply, delivering >3 GHz maximum toggle frequency, 200 ps typical propagation delay, and dual complementary ECL outputs (Q, /Q). It serves high-speed logic decision paths in telecom clock/data recovery and RF sampling systems.
For engineers reviewing the SY10EP08VKC-TR datasheet, SY10EP08VKC-TR pinout, SY10EP08VKC-TR application, or SY10EP08VKC-TR equivalent, key selection criteria include differential input voltage swing (150–1200 mV), output drive into 50Ω to VCC–2.0V, guaranteed AC functionality up to >3 GHz, and MSOP-8 package compatibility with high-density PCB layouts.
Technical Context
The SY10EP08VKC-TR implements true differential ECL logic with internal pulldown on D inputs and pulldown/pullup on /D inputs, enabling robust noise immunity. Its Q output defaults LOW when inputs are open or at VEE, supporting fail-safe initialization in high-speed control paths.
It supports three ECL operating modes: NECL (VCC = 0V, VEE = –3.0V to –5.5V), 3.3V LVPECL (VCC = 3.3V, VEE = 0V), and 5.0V PECL (VCC = 5.0V, VEE = 0V), with all DC parameters scaling 1:1 with VCC and output loading fixed at 50Ω to VCC–2.0V.
Key Specifications

Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Fail-Safe Output Default | Q output asserts LOW when inputs are floating or tied to VEE - eliminates undefined state during power-up or signal loss |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential XOR/XNOR gate applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MC100EP08DG | Same 8-pin SOIC package; identical AC specs but higher IEE (32 mA typ. vs. 30 mA); no MSOP option | Preferred where board space allows SOIC and higher supply current is acceptable | Select MC100EP08DG for legacy SOIC layouts requiring drop-in replacement without footprint change |
| SN65EPT23D | 3.3V-only LVPECL; lower max frequency (2.5 GHz); integrated 50Ω termination; different pinout (14-pin TSSOP) | Suitable for cost-sensitive, single-voltage designs where 3.3V operation suffices and layout flexibility exists | Choose SN65EPT23D when system uses only 3.3V and requires on-die termination to reduce BOM count |
Compared with MC100EP08DG and SN65EPT23D, SY10EP08VKC-TR uniquely supports triple-voltage mode (NECL/LVPECL/PECL) in space-constrained MSOP-8, offering the broadest interoperability across legacy and next-gen ECL infrastructure without layout revision.

FAQ
What voltage supplies does the SY10EP08VKC-TR support?
The SY10EP08VKC-TR supports three distinct supply configurations: NECL (VCC = 0V, VEE = –3.0V to –5.5V), 3.3V LVPECL (VCC = 3.3V ±0.3V, VEE = 0V), and 5.0V PECL (VCC = 5.0V ±0.5V, VEE = 0V). All DC electrical parameters scale linearly with VCC, and output loading is standardized at 50Ω to VCC–2.0V. This multi-mode capability makes SY10EP08VKC-TR adaptable across diverse ECL infrastructure generations without circuit redesign.
What is the function of the /D0 and /D1 pins on the SY10EP08VKC-TR?
The /D0 and /D1 pins on the SY10EP08VKC-TR serve as the complement-side differential inputs for operands 0 and 1, respectively. Unlike D0 and D1 (which feature internal pulldown bias only), /D0 and /D1 incorporate both internal pulldown and pullup resistors - a design that enables self-biased operation without external termination networks in point-to-point ECL links. This configuration ensures defined logic states even with unterminated inputs, directly contributing to the SY10EP08VKC-TR's robustness in high-speed interconnects.
Does the SY10EP08VKC-TR require external bias resistors?
No, the SY10EP08VKC-TR does not require external bias resistors due to its integrated input biasing architecture: D0 and D1 pins have internal pulldowns, while /D0 and /D1 pins include both internal pulldowns and pullups. This eliminates the need for discrete termination components in standard differential ECL interfaces, reducing BOM count and PCB area. The SY10EP08VKC-TR's internal biasing is optimized for 50Ω-loaded operation referenced to VCC–2.0V, matching industry-standard ECL termination practices.
What is the default state of the Q output on the SY10EP08VKC-TR during power-up?
The Q output of the SY10EP08VKC-TR defaults LOW when inputs are open-circuited or tied to VEE, providing a known, fail-safe logic state during power-up, signal loss, or unconnected conditions. This behavior is inherent to the internal transistor-level design and does not require external pull-downs. It ensures deterministic initialization in critical timing paths - a key reliability feature of the SY10EP08VKC-TR in telecom and instrumentation systems where undefined states could trigger erroneous control actions.
How does the SY10EP08VKC-TR differ from the SY10EP08VZC variant?
The SY10EP08VKC-TR and SY10EP08VZC share identical electrical specifications and logic functionality but differ in package and packaging format: SY10EP08VKC-TR uses an 8-pin MSOP (K8-1) with tape-and-reel delivery, while SY10EP08VZC uses an 8-pin SOIC (Z8-1) in tube packaging. The MSOP package of SY10EP08VKC-TR offers 35% smaller footprint and enhanced thermal resistance (θJA = 206°C/W vs. 160°C/W for SOIC), making SY10EP08VKC-TR preferable for space- and thermal-constrained high-density designs.
