The NB7L216 is a differential receiver/driver with high gain output
targeted for high frequency applications. The device is functionally
equivalent to the NBSG16 but with much higher gain output. This
highly versatile device provides 35 dB of gain up to 7 GHz.
Inputs incorporate internal 50
W
termination resistors and accept
Negative ECL (NECL), Positive ECL (PECL), LVTTL, LVCMOS,
CML, or LVDS. Outputs are Reduced Swing ECL (RSECL), 400 mV.
The V
BB
pin is an internally generated voltage supply available to
this device only. V
BB
is used as a reference voltage for single-ended
NECL or PECL inputs. For all single-ended input conditions, the
unused complementary differential input should be connected to V
BB
as a switching reference voltage. V
BB
may also rebias AC coupled
inputs. When used, decouple V
BB
via a 0.01
mF
capacitor and limit
current sourcing or sinking to 0.5 mA. When not used, V
BB
output
should be left open.

Stresses exceeding those listed in the Maximum Ratings table may damage the device. If any of these limits are exceeded, device functionality
should not be assumed, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
1. Maximum ratings applied to the device are individual stress limit values (not normal operating conditions) and are not valid simultaneously.
If stress limits are exceeded device functional operation is not implied, damage may occur and reliability may be affected.
