DESCRIPTION
The CTSLVEL16VR is a specialized oscillator gain stage with a high gain output buffer including an enable
function. The Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs have voltage gain several times greater than the Q/Q outputs. It provides a
¯
¯
selectable Q
HG
/Q
HG
enable that allows continuous oscillator operation via the Q/Q outputs.
¯
¯
The CTSLVEL16VR provides adjustable internal pull-down current sources for the Q/Q outputs and
¯
optional 10mA current sources for the Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs. Internal input biasing further reduces the number
¯
of needed external components.
ENGINEERING NOTES
Functionality of MLP16 Package (CTSLVEL16VRNLG)
The CTSLVEL16VRNLG provides a selectable Q
HG
/Q
HG
enable that allows continuous oscillator operation
¯
via the Q/Q outputs. Table 1 shows the operating modes. Leaving EN-SEL open (NC) selects PECL/ECL
¯
operation for the EN pad/pin. In this mode the Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs are enabled when EN is left open (NC) or
¯
set to a PECL/ECL low.
Connecting EN-SEL to V
CC
, V
EE
or V
BB
selects CMOS operation for the EN pad/pin. When EN-SEL is tied
to V
EE
, the Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs are disabled when EN is left open (NC). When EN-SEL is tied to V
CC
or V
BB
,
¯
the Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs are enabled when EN is left open. This default logic condition can be overridden by a
¯
20k resistor connected to the opposite supply.
The CTSLVEL16VRNLG also provides a V
BB
and 470 internal bias resistors from D to V
BB
and D to V
BB
.
¯
The V
BB
pin supports 1.5mA sink/source current. V
BB
should be bypassed to ground or V
CC
with a 0.01
F
capacitor.
Outputs Q/Q each have a selectable on-chip pull-down current source. See Table 2 for the supported
¯
values. External resistors may also be used to increase pull-down current to a maximum total of 25mA for
the Q/Q outputs.
¯
¯
Each of the Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs has an optional on-chip pull-down current source of 10mA. When pad/pin
V
EEP
is left open (NC), the output current sources are disabled and the Q
HG
/Q
HG
operate as standard
¯
PECL/ECL. When V
EEP
is connected to V
EE
, the current sources are activated. The Q
HG
/Q
HG
pull-down
¯
current can be decreased by using a resistor between V
EEP
and V
EE
.

Figure below illustrates the timing sequences for the CTSLVEL16VRNLG in the MLP 16 package. It is shown
here with the enable operating in active Low mode with a PECL threshold. This mode is determined by
leaving the EN-SEL open (NC). An active High enable with a CMOS/TTL threshold is also an option.

Functionality MLP8 Package (CTSLVEL16VRNNG)
A CMOS enable input (EN) allows continuous oscillator operation. When the EN input is HIGH or left open
(NC), the Q and Q
HG
/Q
HG
outputs follow the data input. When EN is LOW, the Q
HG
output is forced high and
¯
¯
the Q
HG
output is forced low while Q continues to follow the data input. The Q output has an internal 4 mA
¯
¯
¯
current source to V
EE
, in most cases eliminating the need for an external pull-down resistor.
The CTSLVEL16VRNNG also provides biasing. Data input D is tied to the VBB pin through a 470 internal
bias resistor while the inverting input D is connected directly to V
BB
. The V
BB
pin supports 1.5mA sink/source
¯
current. V
BB
should be bypassed to ground with a 0.01
F
capacitor.
