74F524PC

Overview

The onsemi 74F524PC is an octal comparator integrated circuit housed in a 20-DIP package. It operates within a temperature range of 0°C to 70°C and features a maximum propagation delay of 25ns at 5V with a 50pF load. The device provides output current capabilities of 3mA for high state and 24mA for low state, designed for standard logic applications.

Feature Summary

• Octal comparator configuration providing eight independent comparison channels
• Standard DIP packaging suitable for through-hole mounting
• Defined propagation delay characteristics for timing-sensitive logic

Applications

• General-purpose logic circuits requiring voltage level comparison
• Industrial control systems operating within commercial temperature ranges
• Electronic equipment utilizing standard 5V logic interfaces

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source and authenticity when sourcing this component. Confirm that the 20-DIP package matches your board design requirements. Ensure the commercial temperature rating aligns with your operational environment. Check for any obsolete status or lifecycle changes before finalizing procurement plans.

Selection Notes

Select this part when an octal comparator is required for commercial-grade applications. The 20-DIP format supports legacy or through-hole designs. Consider the 25ns delay and current drive limits against system timing and load requirements. Verify compatibility with existing logic families and power supply voltages.

Part Context

This component belongs to the 74F series of logic devices from onsemi. The series utilizes fast transistor-transistor logic technology. It serves as a discrete solution for multi-channel comparison tasks in standard digital systems.

Replacement Considerations

Cross-reference with other octal comparators in the 74F family. Verify pinout compatibility and electrical specifications before substitution.
