MC10H159P

Overview

The MC10H159P is a quad 2-input multiplexer with enable, belonging to the MECL 10H logic family. It features a PDIP-16 package and operates within a supply voltage range of -4.94 V to -5.46 V. The device provides a typical propagation delay of 1.5 ns and dissipates approximately 218 mW of power. Electrical characteristics are defined at VEE = -5.2 V ±5%, with an operating temperature range from 0°C to +75°C.

Feature Summary

• Provides functional and pinout compatibility with the standard MECL 10K family while delivering improved propagation delay performance without increasing power-supply current consumption.
• Features voltage-compensated inputs that maintain an improved noise margin of 150 mV across the full operating voltage and temperature range.

Applications

• High-speed digital signal routing in systems requiring differential ECL signaling
• Data selection circuits utilizing common enable and select inputs for multiple channels
• Logic interfacing where MECL 10K compatibility is required alongside faster switching speeds

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or official manufacturer channels. Confirm the PDIP-16 package suffix matches project requirements. Check for RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply. Ensure proper handling procedures for legacy ECL components during assembly.

Selection Notes

Select this component when MECL 10K pinout compatibility is mandatory but faster switching speeds are needed. The PDIP-16 package suits through-hole prototyping or specific board layouts. Evaluate thermal management needs given the 218 mW power dissipation. Verify input/output voltage levels align with system differential signaling standards.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MECL 10H series, designed as a high-speed successor to the MECL 10K family. It maintains identical pinouts for easy upgrades while offering significant timing improvements. The MC10H159 specifically implements four independent 2-to-1 multiplexing functions with shared control signals.

Replacement Considerations

MC10H159L (CDIP-16), MC10H159M (SOEIAJ-16), MC10H159FN (PLCC-20). These variants share identical electrical functionality and pinouts, differing only in package type and mounting style.
