The new family had a lower supply voltage of around ~4.5 V from 5.2 V as considerably faster propagation delay (e.g., down to 0.75ns from 2ns). Additionally, the 100K family made use of a larger package (DIP-24 vs DIP-16 for most components). |
100K-based parts found their way into many early high-performance systems. For example, the [[Floating Point Systems]] {{fps|FPS-264}} {{arch|64}} [[floating-point]] co-processor which was introduced in February [[1985]] performed 4 to 5 times faster than its predecessor, {{fps|FPS-164}}, by simply switching to 100K series [[ECL]] chips from [[Schottky TTL]]; this was all done without making any architectural changes and maintaining 100% software compatibility. | 100K-based parts found their way into many early high-performance systems.
