100163DC

Overview

The 100163DC is a multiplexer from the National Semiconductor 100K series, configured as a 2 x 8:1 switch. It is housed in a 24-CDIP package with a width of 0.600 inches (15.24mm). This component functions as a logic signal switch designed for digital circuit applications requiring signal routing capabilities within standard TTL-compatible logic families.

Feature Summary

• Configurable multiplexer architecture supporting 2 input channels with 8 selectable outputs each
• Compatible with the established 100K series logic family specifications
• Designed for through-hole mounting using a standard 24-pin ceramic dual in-line package

Applications

• Digital signal routing in legacy computer systems
• Data acquisition systems requiring multi-channel selection
• Industrial control logic interfacing

Procurement Notes

Verify manufacturer authenticity and package integrity upon receipt. Confirm the 24-CDIP ceramic housing matches project requirements. Check for pin oxidation or mechanical damage. Ensure compatibility with existing 100K series logic voltage levels. Review datasheet for specific electrical characteristics before integration into final designs.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 2-to-8 channel multiplexing function is required within a 100K series environment. The CDIP package suits prototyping or repair scenarios utilizing through-hole technology. Ensure system design accommodates the physical dimensions of the 0.600-inch wide package. Verify logic family compatibility with other components in the signal path.

Part Context

This part belongs to the National Semiconductor 100K series, a well-established line of high-speed TTL logic devices. The 100163DC specifically addresses signal switching needs within this ecosystem. It serves as a functional block for managing multiple data lines in complex digital architectures typical of mid-era semiconductor designs.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official cross-reference lists for compatible equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility before substitution. Ensure replacement parts maintain identical 24-CDIP packaging and 100K series electrical performance standards.
