High speed logic gates families from Diode Inc

Diodes Incorporated has announced it has introduced high speed CMOS logic gates family with low power consumption and higher switching speed compared to other high speed CMOS logic gates in the market.

Operating at voltages of 2.0V to 5.5V, the 74AHC1Gxx logic gate family is a drop-in replacement for industry standard logic gate ICs used in broad array of consumer electronic products, including control systems for appliances, computing, and networking applications.

The product family includes AND, NAND, OR, NOR, XOR, inverter (NOT), buffer gates and also first unbuffered single inverter IC. All ten logic gate functions are offered in SOT25 and SOT353 package options. As single gate solutions, the devices provide the logic function at point-of-application, helping to simplify routing and optimizing use of board space.

Diodes says its advanced high speed CMOS logic family is a low power alternative for system designs operating at between 3.3V to 5.5V. The devices' dynamic switching power has been reduced by optimizing the output drive capability at +/-8mA, while still ensuring typical propagation delays of 6ns. The low power 74AHC1Gxx logic family complements Diodes' existing faster switching 74LVC1Gxx logic family.
