MC10231FN

Flip Flops Overview

The MC10231FN is a high-speed ECL 1:8 Fanout Buffer manufactured by onsemi. It operates in PECL or NECL modes with VCC/VEE ranges of 3.0V to 5.5V. The device provides eight differential outputs from a single differential input, featuring typical propagation delays of 1.4ns and skew matching of 0.6ns. Designed for the SOIC-16 package, it ensures signal integrity in high-frequency digital systems through controlled output impedance and low jitter characteristics.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Provides eight differential outputs from a single differential input for high-speed fanout applications
• Features input clamping circuits to maintain stable output states during open-input conditions
• Supports flexible operation in both Positive Emitter Coupled Logic (PECL) and Negative Emitter Coupled Logic (NECL) voltage domains

Flip Flops Applications

• High-speed clock distribution networks
• Differential signal buffering in telecommunications equipment
• Data acquisition system timing circuits

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'F' indicates tape-and-reel packaging when ordering. Confirm the operating temperature range requirements against the datasheet specifications. Ensure supply chain sources provide original manufacturer documentation to validate authenticity and compliance with RoHS standards.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when a single differential source must drive multiple differential loads simultaneously. Consider the SOIC-16 package constraints regarding thermal dissipation and board space. Evaluate the need for differential signaling over single-ended alternatives to minimize noise susceptibility in high-speed environments.

Flip Flops Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10E/100E series of high-speed ECL logic devices.
