ON Semiconductor MC100E431FN: High-Performance Clock Distribution Product

The ON Semiconductor MC100E431FN is a state-of-the-art clock distribution integrated circuit designed to meet the demanding needs of high-speed digital systems. This device is a quintessential component for applications requiring precise and reliable clock signal distribution to various system components. The MC100E431FN is part of ON Semiconductor's high-performance ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) product line, ensuring fast propagation delays and minimal skew, which is critical for maintaining signal integrity in high-speed digital circuits.

Constructed with a differential ECL 1:9 clock distribution chip, the MC100E431FN is capable of accepting a standard ECL differential input signal and distributing it to nine identical ECL differential outputs. This feature makes it an ideal solution for systems that require multiple synchronized clock signals, such as high-speed data communication, telecommunications, and advanced computing systems.

The device operates over a wide frequency range, which allows it to be used in various applications that require different clock speeds. Its low skew characteristics ensure that the clock signals are delivered to the different parts of the system almost simultaneously, reducing timing errors and improving overall system performance.

Key features of the MC100E431FN include:

• Low output-to-output skew, which ensures synchronous clock distribution
• High noise immunity characteristic of ECL logic families
• Compatible with MECL 10H and 100K logic levels
• Operates from a standard -4.2 V or -5.2 V power supply
• Available in a 28-lead PLCC package, which is suitable for surface mount technology

The MC100E431FN also features a fully differential clock path which minimizes the effects of external noise and crosstalk, thereby enhancing the reliability of the clock distribution in noise-sensitive environments. With its robust design and high-performance capabilities, the MC100E431FN is an excellent choice for designers looking to optimize their high-speed digital systems.

Whether you are developing advanced computing hardware, networking equipment, or communication systems, the ON Semiconductor MC100E431FN provides the clock distribution performance required to ensure your system operates at its best.
