ON Semiconductor MC10H176FNR2 Product Overview

The MC10H176FNR2 is a high-performance, ECL (Emitter Coupled Logic) Presettable Binary Counter, expertly designed and manufactured by ON Semiconductor. This integrated circuit is part of ON Semiconductor's 10H series, which is renowned for its high-speed and low-power consumption, making it an ideal choice for a wide range of industrial and commercial applications.

The device features a fully synchronous presettable up/down counter with a differential Clock (CLK) and Master Reset (MR) inputs, which allows for precise control and timing of operations. The counter can be preset to any desired value via the parallel data inputs (D0-D3) when the Preset Enable (PE) input is asserted. This makes it highly versatile and suitable for complex counting tasks in digital systems.

The MC10H176FNR2 offers a 4-bit binary count sequence and includes both Ripple Carry Output (RCO) and ECL mode logic levels. The RCO provides a carry output for cascading multiple counters, enabling the creation of multi-bit counters, while maintaining the high-speed operation characteristic of ECL logic. This is particularly useful in applications requiring high-speed counting, such as frequency division, digital clocks, and precision timing circuits.

Constructed with ON Semiconductor's advanced MOSAIC V ECL technology, the MC10H176FNR2 delivers exceptional performance with a maximum count frequency of up to 250 MHz, providing the speed necessary for high-frequency operations. Its differential design reduces the effects of noise, thereby enhancing signal integrity and reliability of the system.

Available in a PLCC-20 package, the MC10H176FNR2 is designed for surface mount technology (SMT), which is conducive to modern PCB design and automated assembly processes. This compact form factor makes it suitable for space-constrained applications while ensuring robustness and durability.

Whether it's used in data communication equipment, test and measurement systems, or high-speed computing, the MC10H176FNR2 from ON Semiconductor is a dependable choice for designers looking to incorporate a fast and reliable counter into their electronic designs.
