DESCRIPTION
The SY100S324 is a hex translator designed to convert
TTL logic levels to 100K ECL levels. The inputs are TTL
compatible with differential outputs that can either be
used as an inverting/non-inverting translator or as
differential line drivers. A common Enable (E), when LOW,
holds all inverting outputs HIGH and holds all noninverting outputs LOW.
When used in the differential mode, due to its high
common mode rejection, it overcomes voltage gradients
between the TTL and ECL ground systems. The VEE and
VTTL power may be applied in either order.
