DESCRIPTION
The SN65EPT21 is a differential PECL-to-TTL
translator. It operates on +3.3 V supply and ground
only. The device includes circuitry to maintain inputs

PIN FUNCTION
The V
BB
pin is a reference voltage output for the
Q LVTTL/LVCMOS Output
device. When the device is used in single-ended
D, D Differential LVPECL/LVDS/CML Input
mode, the unused input should be tied to V

connected to a sufficient thermal conduit.
The SN65EPT21 is housed in an industry standard
