General Description
The Fairchild Semiconductor 100319QI is a member of the 100K ECL (Emitter-Coupled Logic) family, specifically a dual differential 4-input multiplexer. It is designed for high-speed digital applications and is optimized for systems requiring low propagation delays and high data throughput. This device offers differential ECL-compatible inputs and outputs, making it ideal for high-speed logic systems and communication interfaces.
Functional Description
The 100319QI integrates two identical 4:1 multiplexers. Each multiplexer selects one of four differential data inputs (D0–D3) under the control of two select inputs (S0 and S1). The selected input pair is passed through to the differential output pair. This structure enables the selection and routing of high-speed digital signals with minimal jitter and high signal integrity.
