MC10102P

Inverter Gates Overview

The MC10102P is a quad 2-input NOR gate belonging to the ECL 10K series. It features four independent logic circuits within a single package, providing high-speed switching capabilities typical of emitter-coupled logic families. The device operates with an open-emitter output configuration and is housed in a 16-pin plastic dual in-line package (PDIP). It supports a standard negative supply voltage range for ECL applications.

Inverter Gates Feature Summary

• Contains four independent 2-input NOR logic gates
• Utilizes ECL 10K series technology for high-speed operation
• Features open-emitter outputs for flexible interfacing

Inverter Gates Applications

• High-speed digital logic processing

Inverter Gates Procurement Notes

Verify the specific manufacturer source, as this component has been produced by multiple entities including Motorola and ON Semiconductor. Confirm that the PDIP-16 plastic package matches your board layout requirements. Ensure compatibility with -5.2V ECL power supplies and check for leaded composition if RoHS compliance is not required for the specific application environment.

Inverter Gates Selection Notes

Select this component when a quad NOR gate configuration is required within an ECL system architecture. The 10K series offers a balance between speed and power consumption suitable for general-purpose high-speed logic. Consider the PDIP package only for through-hole assembly processes or prototyping where surface-mount options are not feasible.

Inverter Gates Part Context

This part is part of the broader ECL 10K family of logic devices, originally developed by Motorola and later continued by ON Semiconductor and NXP. The 10K series was widely used in telecommunications and computing equipment requiring fast propagation delays. The MC10102 specifically provides the NOR function, complementing other gates like NAND and OR within the same series.
