MC10H188L

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Overview

The MC10H188L is a high-speed Hex Buffer with a common Enable input from the MECL 10H family. It features a functional and pinout duplication of the standard MECL 10K family part, offering a 100% improvement in propagation delay without an increase in power-supply current. The device operates within a voltage range of -5.2 V ±5%. Typical propagation delay is 1.3 ns for data-to-output transitions. Power dissipation is typically 180 mW per package under no-load conditions. The component provides improved noise margins of 150 mV over the operating voltage and temperature range.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Procurement Notes

Verify the specific suffix 'L' corresponds to the CDIP-16 ceramic package when ordering. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements as standard packages may differ from Pb-free variants. Check datasheet revision history for any updates to electrical characteristics or mechanical dimensions before finalizing procurement specifications.

Buffers, Drivers, Receivers, Transceivers Selection Notes

Select this component for applications requiring MECL 10H speed improvements while maintaining MECL 10K pinout compatibility. Ensure the design accommodates the required negative supply voltage and thermal management for typical power dissipation. Verify that the through-hole mounting method aligns with the PCB assembly capabilities.
