74LVC2G dual-gate logic devices
Diodes Incorporated has introduced a series of dual-gate logic devices, designed to help reduce component footprints in small, handheld products such as tablet computers, smartphones and e-readers.
The 74LVC2G two-gate parts are provided in the miniature and robust DFN1010 package, measuring 1mm2 and with a maximum off-board height of 0.4mm.
Six dual-gate logic devices have been initially introduced, comprising inverters and buffers each in a choice of simple, Schmitt trigger input and open drain types.
Diodes said the devices complement its 74LVC1G range of 18 different single-gate logic functions announced earlier in 2011.
It is planned that the dual-gate logic parts will also be offered in SOT26, SOT353 and DFN1410 package alternatives.
The logic devices' operating voltage of 1.65V through to 5.5V enables them to support both portable battery operated as well as legacy 5V product design.
By typically drawing less than 1uA, the 74LVC2G logic will also be of interest for energy-sensitive applications.
When powered down, the dual-gate logic's output circuitry is disabled to prevent damaging backflow current and to ensure effective signal isolation.
5.5V tolerant inputs enable the parts to be employed as voltage transistors.
The 74LVC2G dual-gate logic devices are priced at USD0.11 (GBP0.06) each in quantities of 10,000.
