The MC100E136FN is an IC (integrated circuit) component manufactured by Texas Instruments. It belongs to the MC100E series, which is a family of high-speed ECL (emitter-coupled logic) logic gates. This particular component is a 5-bit differential line receiver and the "FN" in its name indicates the plastic packaging style.
Key features of the MC100E136FN include:
1. Differential Line Receiver: The IC acts as a differential line receiver, allowing it to receive and process differential signals transmitted over a communication line. This enables reliable data transmission and reception in high-speed communication systems.
2. High-Speed Operation: The MC100E136FN offers high-speed operation with a typical propagation delay of 500 picoseconds. This allows for fast data processing and real-time communication.
3. 5-Bit Operation: The IC is designed to handle 5-bit differential signals, making it suitable for applications where 5-bit data is required, such as data buses and communication interfaces.
4. ECL Logic: The MC100E136FN utilizes ECL logic, which is known for its high-speed and low-power characteristics. ECL logic is commonly used in applications that demand high performance and speed, such as telecommunications and networking.
5. Compatible with ECL Logic Families: This IC is designed to be compatible with other ECL logic families, allowing for easy integration in existing ECL-based systems
