MC10H160FN

Overview

The MC10H160FN is a 12-bit parity generator-checker from the MECL 10H series. It operates on a dual power supply ranging from -4.94 V to -5.46 V, with a typical dissipation of 320 mW. The device provides differential outputs and features a typical propagation delay of 2.5 ns. Unconnected inputs are pulled low for parity detection in configurations using fewer than 12 bits. It is housed in a 20-lead PLCC package.

Feature Summary

• Generates or checks parity by outputting high when an odd number of inputs are high
• Compatible with standard MECL 10K family pinouts while offering improved noise margins
• Voltage compensated design ensures stable operation across operating voltage and temperature ranges

Applications

• Data bus error detection systems
• High-speed digital communication interfaces
• Memory subsystem parity checking

Procurement Notes

Verify that the specific order suffix matches the required package type, as the base part number covers multiple physical formats. Confirm RoHS compliance status if environmental regulations apply, noting that Pb-Free options exist under different suffixes. Ensure the procurement channel sources directly from authorized distributors to guarantee component authenticity and traceability.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a 12-bit parity solution compatible with existing MECL 10K infrastructure is required. The device offers faster propagation delays compared to the legacy 10K family without increasing power consumption. Consider the PLCC package availability against other form factors like SOEIAJ or CDIP based on board layout constraints.

Part Context

This component belongs to the MC10H160 family of logic integrated circuits manufactured by onsemi. It functions as a specialized logic gate designed for high-speed data integrity applications. The device represents an evolution of the MECL 10K technology, providing enhanced performance metrics within a familiar footprint for system designers upgrading legacy architectures.
