MC10H176MG

Flip Flops Overview

The MC10H176MG is a Hex D Master-Slave Flip-Flop from the onsemi MECL 10H series. It integrates six positive-edge-triggered D-type flip-flops with a common clock input in a single package. The device operates within a supply voltage range of -4.9V to -5.46V and supports clock frequencies up to 250 MHz. It features a typical propagation delay of 1.7 ns and static current consumption of 112 mA. The component is housed in a 16-SOIC surface-mount package and functions as a pinout-compatible replacement for standard MECL 10K family parts.

Flip Flops Feature Summary

• Contains six master-slave type D flip-flops sharing a common clock signal
• Provides improved noise margin of 150 mV over operating voltage and temperature ranges
• Offers functional and pinout compatibility with the standard MECL 10K family
• Features voltage compensated design for stable operation

Flip Flops Applications

• High-speed digital data storage systems
• Parallel-to-serial data conversion circuits
• MECL logic system upgrades requiring enhanced speed

Flip Flops Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or direct manufacturer channels, as the part status is listed as obsolete. Confirm package integrity and marking accuracy against the 16-SOIC specification. Check for RoHS compliance documentation if required by specific project standards. Ensure handling procedures account for the sensitivity of ECL logic inputs. Validate that the specific MG suffix matches the required SOIC package variant for your PCB layout.

Flip Flops Selection Notes

Select this component when upgrading from MECL 10K designs to achieve higher clock speeds without increasing power supply current requirements. It is suitable for applications demanding low propagation delay and high noise immunity. Consider the negative supply voltage requirement and ensure the power distribution network supports the specified current draw. Verify that the 16-pin SOIC footprint aligns with existing board space constraints.

Flip Flops Part Context

This device belongs to the MECL 10H logic family, which provides performance improvements over the legacy MECL 10K series. The 10H series maintains backward compatibility while offering faster switching speeds and better noise margins. This specific hex flip-flop configuration is designed for complex sequential logic applications requiring multiple synchronized data storage elements within a compact integrated circuit form factor.

Flip Flops Replacement Considerations

The datasheet identifies the MC10H176 as a functional duplication of the standard MECL 10K family part. Designers transitioning from older MECL 10K components should verify that the improved propagation delay and noise characteristics meet the new system timing requirements.
