Product details
Overview
SN10KHT5578DWR from Texas Instruments is an octal TTL-to-ECL translator with edge-triggered D-type flip-flops and ECL-compatible output enable, operating from 0°C to 75°C, supporting 180 MHz clock frequency, noninverting outputs, and flow-through pinout for optimized PCB layout in high-speed bus interface applications.
For engineers reviewing the SN10KHT5578DWR datasheet, SN10KHT5578DWR pinout, SN10KHT5578DWR application, or SN10KHT5578DWR equivalent, key selection considerations include TTL clock/ECL control input compatibility, –5.2 V ECL supply operation, 2.2 ns typical tPLH propagation delay, and SOIC-24 package thermal impedance of 81°C/W.
Technical Context
This device implements eight independent D-type flip-flops triggered on the positive edge of a TTL-level clock while accepting ECL-level control inputs (OE), enabling synchronous data latching across mixed-signal domains. Its architecture separates TTL input logic from ECL output drivers, with OE asserted low to disable outputs without affecting internal state retention.
The SN10KHT5578DWR uses center-pin VCC, VEE, and GND configuration to minimize high-speed switching noise, supports 50 Ω ECL termination to –2 V, and meets MIL-STD-883 ESD protection (>2000 V) - all critical for CPU/bus-oriented functions like memory address drivers and clock distribution in legacy 10KH ECL systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Supply Voltage (VCC) | 4.5 V to 5.5 V TTL supply - ensures compatibility with standard 5 V TTL logic families and stable internal biasing. |
| Supply Voltage (VEE) | –4.94 V to –5.46 V ECL supply - matches 10KH ECL rail requirements and enables correct ECL logic level translation. |
| Max Clock Frequency | 180 MHz - supports high-speed synchronous bus timing in CPU and memory subsystems. |
| tPLH / tPHL (CLK→Q) | 0.8–4 ns - guarantees sub-4 ns worst-case propagation delay for precise edge-aligned data capture. |
| Input Clamp Current (IIK) | –18 mA - defines safe negative current handling at TTL inputs during overvoltage transients. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±50 mA per output - sufficient to drive 50 Ω terminated ECL loads without signal degradation. |
| Operating Temperature | 0°C to 75°C ambient - validated for commercial-grade industrial computing and telecom infrastructure use. |
Pinout & Package
SN10KHT5578DWR is packaged in a 24-pin SOIC (DW) with gull-wing leads, 300 mil body width, and RoHS-compliant CU NIPDAU finish. The package features center-aligned power/ground pins (VCC at Pin 17, VEE at Pin 24, GND at Pins 5–8) to reduce ground bounce and improve high-frequency noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1D–8D | TTL Data Inputs | Eight asynchronous TTL-level data inputs synchronized to CLK edge; tolerate –1.2 V to 7 V input range. |
| CLK | TTL Clock Input | Positive-edge-triggered TTL clock (Pin 16); requires ≥4 ns pulse width for reliable flip-flop operation. |
| OE | ECL Output Enable | Active-low ECL-level enable (Pin 1); disables all Q outputs without affecting internal DFF state. |
| 1Q–8Q | ECL Outputs | Noninverting ECL outputs (Pins 1–4, 13–16); terminated to –2 V via 50 Ω for standard ECL waveform integrity. |
| VCC | TTL Supply | +5 V TTL supply (Pin 17); powers internal TTL input buffers and logic circuitry. |
| VEE | ECL Supply | –5.2 V nominal ECL supply (Pin 24); powers ECL output drivers and level-shifting stages. |
| GND | Ground Reference | Four dedicated ground pins (Pins 5–8) provide low-inductance return paths for both TTL and ECL sections. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Flow-through architecture | Input (D/CLK/OE) and output (Q) pins arranged on opposite sides of SOIC package to minimize trace crossovers and reduce parasitic coupling in dense layouts. |
| Independent output enable | OE asserts low to tri-state all eight ECL outputs without disrupting internal DFF latch state - enables dynamic bus sharing and hot-swap capability. |
| 10KH ECL compatibility | Fully compliant with TI's 10KH ECL family voltage thresholds (VOH = –810 mV min, VOL = –1630 mV max at 25°C) and timing specifications. |
| ESD robustness | Exceeds 2000 V HBM per MIL-STD-883 Method 3015 - protects against handling damage during assembly and field service. |
| Thermal performance | θJA = 81°C/W (SOIC-DW) - enables stable operation up to 75°C ambient without forced airflow in compact enclosures. |
Applications
| Memory Address Driver | Clock Distribution Hub |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature for the SN10KHT5578DWR?
The SN10KHT5578DWR is characterized for operation from 0°C to 75°C ambient temperature. This range is validated under recommended supply conditions (VCC = 4.5–5.5 V, VEE = –4.94 to –5.46 V) and applies to the SOIC-DW package. Operation outside this range may result in undefined timing or logic behavior, and is not supported by TI's characterization data for SN10KHT5578DWR.
Does the SN10KHT5578DWR support true bidirectional translation between TTL and ECL?
No, the SN10KHT5578DWR is unidirectional: it accepts TTL-level inputs (D, CLK) and produces ECL-level outputs (Q). It does not translate ECL signals to TTL. The OE input is ECL-compatible but only controls output enable - it does not reverse signal flow. For bidirectional translation, separate devices or discrete solutions are required for each direction.
What is the purpose of the four GND pins (Pins 5–8) on the SN10KHT5578DWR?
The four dedicated GND pins on SN10KHT5578DWR provide low-inductance return paths for both TTL input circuitry and ECL output drivers. This separation minimizes ground bounce and crosstalk between logic domains, especially critical at 180 MHz operation. TI's layout guidance emphasizes using all four pins and connecting them to a solid ground plane beneath the SOIC footprint to maintain signal integrity.
Can the SN10KHT5578DWR be used with modern 3.3 V TTL systems?
No - the SN10KHT5578DWR requires a 4.5–5.5 V TTL supply (VCC) and is not rated for 3.3 V operation. Its TTL input thresholds (VIH = 2 V min, VIL = 0.8 V max) assume 5 V logic levels, and applying 3.3 V signals risks marginal recognition of logic highs. For 3.3 V systems, TI recommends newer families such as LVT or ALVT logic, not SN10KHT5578DWR.
Is the SN10KHT5578DWR pin-compatible with other members of the '5578 family?
Yes - SN10KHT5578DWR shares identical pinout and function with SN10KHT5578DW, SN10KHT5578NT, and SN10KHT5578NTE4. All variants use the same 24-pin mapping, including D/Q/OE/CLK placement and center-aligned VCC/VEE/GND. Differences are limited to package type, packaging format, and finish - not pin assignment or logic behavior.
