MC10H424FN

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC10H424FN is a quad TTL-to-ECL translator manufactured by onsemi, designed to interface between Transistor-Transistor Logic (TTL) and Emitter-Coupled Logic (ECL) families. It operates within a supply voltage range of -4.94 V to -5.46 V and supports a junction temperature range from 0°C to +75°C. The device features four independent translation channels with complementary outputs and includes an ECL strobe function for output control. Packaged in a 20-pin PLCC (PLLC) surface-mount format, it facilitates signal level conversion in mixed-logic systems requiring high-speed data transfer.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Provides four independent channels for translating TTL input signals to compatible ECL output levels
• Integrates an ECL strobe input to actively control the state of the translated outputs
• Delivers complementary differential outputs suitable for driving ECL loads directly

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interfacing legacy TTL-based digital systems with modern ECL processing units
• Level shifting in mixed-logic communication buses
• Signal translation in high-speed data acquisition hardware

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify component authenticity through authorized distributors or certified secondary market suppliers due to potential obsolescence status. Confirm RoHS compliance requirements as historical versions may not meet current environmental standards. Validate package integrity and pin configuration against the 20-PLCC specification before integration into new designs.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when direct interfacing between TTL sources and ECL destinations is required without external discrete components. Ensure the design environment supports negative power supply rails typical for ECL operation. Consider thermal management capabilities within the specified operating temperature range during system layout.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This part belongs to the MC10H series of high-speed logic devices produced by onsemi. It serves as a specialized interface solution bridging two distinct logic families. The 20-PLCC package provides a compact footprint for board-level integration while maintaining electrical performance necessary for fast switching applications.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations

Check for updated equivalents such as the MC10H424J or other quad translators from the same family that maintain identical pinouts and functional specifications. Verify compatibility with existing PCB footprints if substituting packages.
