100364PC

Overview

The Fairchild Semiconductor 100364PC is a high-speed ECL multiplexer belonging to the 100K series. It functions as a 16-input to 1-output selector, utilizing four select lines (S0–S3) to control data paths. The device features a true output configuration and is housed in a 24-pin Plastic Dual In-Line Package (PDIP). Designed for operation up to 85°C, it supports configurable output polarity and is intended for applications requiring rapid signal routing in digital systems.

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'PC' against the manufacturer's current datasheet to confirm package dimensions and material specifications. Ensure compatibility with existing ECL power supply voltages and termination requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply to your assembly process. Confirm lead availability and obsolescence status directly with authorized distributors or Fairchild Semiconductor representatives before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 16-channel multiplexer with ECL speed characteristics is required. Ensure the design supports the necessary select line decoding and ECL voltage levels. Consider the PDIP package constraints for PCB layout and thermal management. Verify that the configurable output meets the interface needs of downstream components without additional buffering.

Part Context

This part belongs to Fairchild's 100K series of logic devices, which are designed for high-speed applications. The 100364 specifically addresses the need for multi-input signal selection in ECL environments. It serves as a critical interconnect element in complex digital systems where rapid switching between multiple data sources is essential for system performance and flexibility.

Replacement Considerations

Consult official Fairchild Semiconductor substitution guides for direct equivalents. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical parameters such as propagation delay and supply voltage before replacing. Generic multiplexers may not match the specific ECL performance characteristics required by the original design.
