MC317F

Translators, Level Shifters Overview

The MC317F is a mixed-signal translator manufactured by Motorola, designed to convert MECL input signals into non-inverted output signals compatible with ECL logic levels. It operates within a single circuit configuration featuring one channel per circuit. The device supports unidirectional signal translation and functions reliably across an extended industrial temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Packaged in a 10-CFlatPack (CFP-10) housing, it facilitates interface connections between different logic families without requiring direct voltage level matching.

Translators, Level Shifters Feature Summary

• Converts MECL input signals to non-inverted outputs
• Unidirectional signal translation capability
• Single circuit with one channel configuration

Translators, Level Shifters Applications

• Interface circuits between MECL and ECL logic families
• Signal translation in mixed-signal systems
• ECL to TTL translator applications

Translators, Level Shifters Procurement Notes

Verify the package type is CFP-10 and confirm the manufacturer is Motorola Semiconductor Products. Ensure the part meets the specified operating temperature range of -55°C to +125°C. Check for RoHS compliance status if required by your assembly process. Confirm the device is a new original component before purchase.

Translators, Level Shifters Selection Notes

Select this component when interfacing MECL inputs with ECL-compatible outputs is required. It provides non-inverted logic conversion for single-channel applications. Consider the CFP-10 package constraints for PCB layout. Verify compatibility with system voltage levels and temperature requirements before integration.

Translators, Level Shifters Part Context

This component belongs to the Translators, Level Shifters category. It serves as an interface solution for digital logic families. Motorola designs this IC to bridge signal gaps between different electronic standards. It is distinct from general-purpose logic gates or amplifiers.

Translators, Level Shifters Replacement Considerations
