MC10H160PG

Overview

The MC10H160PG is a 12-bit parity generator and checker manufactured by onsemi. It operates within the MECL 10K compatible logic family, utilizing a dual-supply configuration with VCC and VEE connections. The device provides an output that goes high when an odd number of inputs are high, facilitating odd parity generation and detection. Unconnected inputs are internally pulled to a logic low state, allowing functionality for fewer than 12 bits. It features voltage compensation and improved noise margins over the operating voltage and temperature range.

Feature Summary

• Generates and checks 12-bit parity with high-level output for odd input counts
• Compatible with standard MECL 10K logic families
• Voltage compensated design for stable operation across ranges

Applications

• Data transmission systems requiring parity verification
• Memory modules needing error detection circuitry
• Digital communication interfaces ensuring data integrity

Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels. Confirm package suffix 'P' corresponds to the PDIP-16 housing. Check RoHS compliance status if lead-free variants are required. Ensure supply chain stability as legacy MECL components may have limited availability.

Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring fast parity processing in MECL environments. Consider propagation delay specifications for timing-critical designs. Evaluate power dissipation requirements against available thermal management solutions. Verify input compatibility with existing logic levels before integration.

Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10H160 series, which includes various package options such as PLCC, SOEIAJ, and CDIP. The PG suffix specifically denotes the plastic dual in-line package variant. The series is designed for high-speed digital logic applications where parity checking is essential for system reliability.

Replacement Considerations

Check for functional equivalents within the same MECL 10K family. Verify pinout compatibility for direct replacement. Assess electrical parameter overlaps to ensure performance consistency.
