The MC10H124 is a quad translator for interfacing data and control
signals between a saturated logic section and the MECL section of digital
systems. The 10H part is a functional/pinout duplication of the standard
MECL 10K family part, with 100% improvement in propagation delay, and
no increase in power–supply current.
• Propagation Delay, 1.5 ns Typical
• Improved Noise Margin 150 mV (Over Operating Voltage and
Temperature Range)
• Voltage Compensated
• MECL 10K–Compatible

NOTE:
Each MECL 10H series circuit has been designed to meet the dc specifications shown in the test table,
after thermal equilibrium has been established. The circuit is in a test socket or mounted on a printed circuit
board and transverse air flow greater than 500 Ifpm is maintained. Outputs are terminated through a
50–ohm resistor to –2.0 volts.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The MC10H124 has TTL–compatible inputs and
MECL complementary open–emitter outputs that allow
use as an inverting/non–inverting translator or as a
differential line driver. When the common strobe input is
at the low–logic level, it forces all true outputs to a MECL
low–logic state and all inverting outputs to a MECL
high–logic state.
An advantage of this device is that TTL–level
information can be transmitted differentially , via balanced
twisted pair lines, to MECL equipment, where the signal
can be received by the MC10H115 or MC10H116
differential line receivers. The power supply
requirements are ground, +5.0 volts, and –5.2 volts.
