• Frequency dividers
• Data storage in high-performance computing systems
• Communication systems

Features

• Four independent D flip-flops
• Common clock and reset inputs
• High-speed operation (typically 2.0 ns propagation delay)
• MECL 10,000 series logic
• Differential inputs and outputs
• Fan-out of 1

Benefits

• High-speed data handling for improved system performance
• Easy cascading of flip-flops for larger registers

The MC10179L operates from a -5.2V power supply. It features differential inputs and outputs, which provide improved noise immunity and allow for higher operating speeds. The common clock and reset inputs simplify the design of synchronous digital systems.

The internal circuitry consists of emitter-coupled logic (ECL) gates, which provide the high-speed performance characteristic of the MECL 10,000 series. The device's low propagation delay makes it suitable for applications where timing is critical.

The MC10179L is typically available in a 16-pin DIP (Dual In-line Package). It is designed to operate over a temperature range of -30°C to 85°C.

This device is suitable for a wide range of high-speed digital applications where fast data handling and low propagation delays are required. Its compatibility with other MECL 10,000 series devices makes it a popular choice for designers of high-performance computing and communication systems.
