HFA9P0003L-9

Overview

The HFA9P0003L-9 is a general-purpose comparator manufactured by Harris Corporation, housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package with a width of 0.154 inches (3.90mm). It operates using ECL output logic and contains one internal element. The device features a maximum propagation delay of 2.6 nanoseconds, enabling rapid response to input transitions in high-speed logic systems.

Feature Summary

• Ultra-high speed operation suitable for demanding timing applications
• ECL output type for compatibility with specific logic families
• General-purpose design for broad comparator utility

Applications

• High-speed logic systems requiring fast input transition response
• Identity comparison circuits
• Ultra-high speed signal processing

Procurement Notes

Verify the manufacturer designation as Harris Corporation or its successor entities when sourcing this component. Confirm the 16-SOIC package dimensions match system requirements. Ensure the ECL output specification aligns with downstream circuit voltage levels. Cross-reference datasheets from authorized distributors to confirm current production status and availability constraints.

Selection Notes

Select this component when ultra-high speed performance is critical for identity comparison tasks. The ECL output interface dictates specific power supply and termination requirements distinct from TTL or CMOS comparators. Evaluate the 2.6 nanosecond propagation delay against system timing budgets to ensure adequate speed margins for the intended application environment.

Part Context

Harris Corporation specialized in defense and aerospace electronics before merging into L3Harris Technologies. This comparator belongs to their high-performance linear integrated circuit portfolio. The part represents legacy technology designed for rigorous industrial and military specifications, now often managed through semiconductor successors maintaining original datasheet parameters.

Replacement Considerations

Publicly confirmed substitute part numbers are not available in the provided documentation. Verify functional equivalence carefully if considering alternatives, particularly regarding ECL output compatibility and propagation delay specifications.
