Diodes Incorporated Expands General-Purpose Low-Voltage CMOS Logic Family for Wide Application Range
PLANO, Texas --(Business Wire)--
Diodes (News - Alert) Incorporated (Nasdaq: DIOD), a leading global manufacturer and
supplier of high-quality application specific standard products within
the broad discrete, logic and analog semiconductor markets, expands its
low-voltage CMOS (LVC) general-purpose logic family, beyond single- and
dual-gate products, with the addition of 10 popular functions in 14-pin
TSSOP packages.
The new 74LVCxx logic ICs are designed for a broad range of computing
applications including desktop and notebook PCs, computer peripherals
like hard-disk and optical drives, networking equipment such as routers
and hubs, as well as an array of consumer equipment including TVs,
set-top boxes, DVRs and gaming consoles.
Currently available devices in the family include: hex inverters, hex
inverters and buffers with open drains, and hex inverters with Schmitt
trigger inputs. Variations of quadruple NAND, AND, OR, XOR and two types
of tri-state buffer gates will soon be available.
Key advantages of the new logic family include: a 1.65V to 5.5V range,
allowing use in both battery-operated and traditional 5V applications;
voltage tolerant inputs, to 5.5V, for use in a mixed-voltage
environment; supply current of less than 1�A in many applications; and I(OFF)
output circuitry, which disables the outputs preventing backflow current
when the device is powered down. Additionally, the device inputs can be
driven at 3.3V or 5.5V for voltage translation applications.
New ICs in the expande family, which are direct drop-in replacements
for industry-standard parts and are available at highly competitive
prices, include:
-
74LVC00AT14-13 - Quadruple 2-Input NAND Gates
-
74LVC04AT14-13 - Hex Inverters
-
74LVC06AT14-13 - Hex Inverters with Open-Drain Outputs
-
74LVC07AT14-13 - Hex Buffers with Open-Drain Outputs
-
74LVC08AT14-13 - Quadruple 2-Input AND Gates
-
74LVC14AT14-13 - Hex Inverters with Schmitt Trigger Inputs
-
74LVC32AT14-13 - Quadruple 2-Input OR Gates
-
74LVC86AT14-13 - Quadruple 2-Input XOR Gates
-
74LVC125AT14-13 - Quadruple 3 State Buffers OE LOW
-
74LVC126AT14-13 - Quadruple 3 State Buffers OE HIGH
